During their “Europe tour 2011” ネガ (NEGA) stopped at Tivoli de Helling on September 20 to play their show for the fans who had been waiting outside for most of the afternoon already.

We also went to check out their performance, and took some photos while we were there. You can find these photos on our portfolio,

ネガ (NEGA) // Combining vampires, horror and Visual Kei

雪 (Yuki) September 20, 2011 No Comments 🌸 ネガ (NEGA)🎵 コテ系 (Kote Kei)🎵 ラウド系 (Loud Kei)🎶 gothic 🎶 metal 🎶 metalcore 🎶 rock

With themes of horror, vampires and quite some gore, ネガ (NEGA) easily is the darkest artist signed to the UNDER CODE PRODUCTION label. (You might recognize this name because of it's owner KISAKI, who is probably most known for his work in Phantasmagoria, among other groups.)

The current European tour also marks the very first time here for the four members, but what do we know about these vampires, really? Despite this interview being done in a bit of a rush, I didn't want to keep anything from you.
So let's go!

RAZOR // Broken Society: SAMURAIソードMAN

雪 (Yuki) October 6, 2024 No Comments

“SAMURAIソードMAN” (Samurai Sword Man) is the 12th single in RAZOR’s ever-growing discography. Despite being released in June of 2023 the single touches on an interesting concept that might have been overshadowed entirely by how upbeat and flashy the title track and its music video are.

This review was intended to be written and published much closer to the release date of the single last year, but due to circumstances it kept getting pushed back. The single never left 雪 (Yuki)’s mind (or her playlist) however, so she’s finally talking about it in this review!

V August 23, 2024 No Comments

As a word itself, “Thanatosis” is an interesting choice for a title. But what does it mean exactly? Since it's not a word you'll hear every day. And how does it relate to DAMNED?

In this installment of V Reviews, V takes us on a journey of DAMNED's hauntingly badass track “Thanatosis”, which is also the first MV featuring the group's new lineup.
