DEVILOOF // Devil’s Calling/Angel’s Cry: The story of love that I vow to die for

雪 (Yuki) 3 August 2025 No Comments
Despite being released in August of 2020 and now being considered an ‘older work’ from the group, the “Devil’s Calling/Angel’s Cry” single from DEVILOOF contains two very interesting songs that are connected to each other in a very interesting way.

In this review 雪 (Yuki) takes you deeper into the single to hopefully let you see these two songs in a different light than you might have originally.

DAMNED // 酔狂と交わる強迫的価値観 (Suikyou to Majiwaru Kyouhaku Teki Katikan): All that’s left is the determination to keep going

雪 (Yuki) 27 July 2025 No Comments
Recently we took you on a deep dive into DAMNED's song and music video "STAIN", which ended up being one of the more story-type of songs for the band. And since you seem to be enjoying their works as much as we are, we're now taking you on a journey through their (currently) most recent single and music video for “酔狂と交わる強迫的価値観” (Suikyou to Majiwaru Kyouhaku Teki Katikan).

Will the band live up to "STAIN", or will their obsessive values intersect with insanity?
雪 (Yuki) can't wait to tell you more about it!

JILUKA // KVLT: Open your mind for this new cult

雪 (Yuki) 8 June 2025 No Comments
With the 2025 World Tour “THE KVLT” in full swing, JILUKA are currently in Europe once again after two very successful tours in 2024. Since that tour they have only released one new song and music video, namely “KVLT”. And this music video was on our to do list since it came out last February already – it just took a little longer to get to it. But with the tour in full swing now, we want to draw your attention to JILUKA’s work once more.

And if you’re still on the fence on whether or not you want to join their KVLT, allow the group to convince you one more time before their live show.

DEVILOOF // Devil’s Proof: Bare your fangs and go wild

雪 (Yuki) 1 June 2025 No Comments
DEVILOOF released their very first full album “Devil’s Proof” in November of 2017 already, and ever since it has continuously made appearances on 雪 (Yuki)’s playlist. Sometimes in full, sometimes a stray song. With the band signing to the major label Tokuma Japan in 2023 their first release under that label was either a massive hit or a massive disappointment – depending on who you ask. And with the release of their song “因習” (Inshuu) in late January of this year, 雪 (Yuki) actually saw something that made her think of “Devil’s Proof”.

So here it is, the long, long overdue deep dive into DEVILOOF’s first album, which really showcases the combination of ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) and J-Metal!

DAMNED // STAIN: A sense of emptiness brings no comfort

雪 (Yuki) 25 May 2025 No Comments
In September of 2024 DAMNED released the MV for “STAIN”, following the one for “Thanatosis” that came out in April of the same year. V already covered “Thanatosis” for you, so now it’s 雪 (Yuki)’s turn to cover “STAIN”!

Will this be another banger, or will it be a stain on the band’s reputation? (It definitely isn’t, don’t worry, but we couldn’t resist the pun!) 雪 (Yuki) did a deep dive into the song and will tell you all about it in this review!

A year and a half after the release of the single “Kingdom”, NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST return with the release of the digital single “Nail in the coffin” on April 4th 2025. But, is the new song really a nail in the coffin for the group, or is the name just a great target for this joke?

To find a definitive answer to that question, 雪 (Yuki) took a deep dive into the song and after some thorough research she came up with the answer for you in this review!

TRNTY D:CODE // [HELL]hound.: Tame him before daylight

雪 (Yuki) 6 April 2025 No Comments
Despite coming out in November of 2018, TRNTY D:CODE’s second single “[HELL]hound.” contained an interesting mix of ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) and metalcore, ticking boxes for both genres left and right for the currently inactive group.

With this review 雪 (Yuki) hopes to bring an older release back to the surface, while looking at the interesting mix of both genres at the same time.
