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!

NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST // Nail in the coffin: Burn it down until the end
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
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.

リリカ (Lyrica) // ストロベリィマァマレィド (Strawberry Marmalade): Unspeakable secrets melted my throat
“ストロベリィマァマレィド” (Strawberry Marmalade) is the fourth single in リリカ (Lyrica)’s discography, and also the second MV for the group. Much like their first single and MV “Strange Rabbit” there is a lot more than what meets the eye at first glance with this release too. And since you all enjoyed our deep dive into their first single and MV so much, we’re now coming back with the follow-up we promised back then.
In today’s review, 雪 (Yuki) discusses the story of the single and MV in more detail, but much like the previous installment in our Strange Rabbit series, please keep in mind that リリカ (Lyrica)’s work might be a bit shocking for some audiences!

Z CLEAR // 広島 (Hiroshima): I’ll just be myself
“広島” (Hiroshima) is already the 11th single for Z CLEAR, but why are we jumping into their work with this single in particular? This single not only contains a wonderful message, it also looks like a unique moment in time for the band themselves.
Originating from 広島 (Hiroshima), the tile of the single alone is a bit of a hint of what’s to come already. 雪 (Yuki) did a deep dive into the single and is more than happy to tell you all about it!

リリカ (Lyrica) // Strange Rabbit: The world is poisoned
“Strange Rabbit” is the first single in リリカ (Lyrica)’s discography, and also a very strong start for the band, if we may say so ourselves. Being a band in the メンヘラ系 (Menhera Kei) genre does mean that there is more to their story for this single that meets the eye. And trust us when we say we were a little hesitant to share this review with you here in English because of the emotional topic this song discusses.
But, we also didn’t want to keep it from you, so in today’s review 雪 (Yuki) discusses the band’s first single in more detail!

JILUKA // K4RMA -THE RETURN- at Zeche (Bochum, DE)
Earlier this year JILUKA already visited Europe and the US with their “K4RMA WORLD TOUR 2024”, but shortly after they already announced -THE RETURN-, and we'd be lying if we said we didn't enjoy their first time so much that we couldn't wait to see them a second time.
During this second time we of course took some photos from their live show. The link to their page on our portfolio can be found in this post!
