My Music Life

404NOT FOUND has released a new single.  Sounds quite mainstream me but because the quality is top notch its only a good thing. Good happy song to the spring!

130311 afterlife

Life goes on and death is still so close. We never know whats ahead us. 130311 was a big shock even for years been talk about  that the big earthquake will strike Japan. It took time to get back into normal life even living so far away from Japan. So I took time off from this blog. But now I want to share one link to the site that gives me hope because I see it in these posters:

Iwate Posters

Song for today is Each For The Days. I know only this clip about them and the fact that they play live with Inhale soon. That's where I found the band name.

And then interesting news that Ryu has been hinting many times in his blog. Now its official. I knew only that it is a super secret project with Ettori of the Coroner records. Good suprise that it was a theme compliation album called Princess Ghibli which is in the shops now:

 

Icarus' Cry

I don't know how these guys has so much time. This is another band of Unlucky Morpheus' Yukimura and I know there is at least one more playing more extreme music.
As the name Yukimura promises guitar playing is top notch and joy to listen.

If you like metal touhou doujin music. This is to you.

Infection

Be ready to headbang. Infection plays modern metal with downtuned guitars with heavy distorted tone. But as a good suprise that's not all they have in sleeves. Rythm changes makes their newly published song very promising and this must be a good live band. Thanks for their member leaving "ashiato" to my mixi page.

Davitz

Davitz presents also not so hard modern softer metal music. I give thumbs up that they are not using autotune/moledyne! Its so rare to hear normal vocals so why to care some small pitch problems (or maybe I just have too accurate ear). But DAvits as good groove and sound a bit more unique than some other bands. Hope to hear how they'll progress from this point in future.

Lightning / Sum Rize

There was a band Lightning which I have never heard but as suggested on twitter I checked band Sum Rize which is their new name. I expected this to be some kind of core but was suprised to hear clean singing and twin lead guitars. Melodic metal = good.

Umberbrown

And then back to more poppish sound with these emo kids. Umberbrown doesn't deliver so much originality but their music is melodic, cathcy, singed well (also pronunciation) and played withouth anything bad to say.

I'm sure fans of this kind of music are satisfied.



And yes I tagged also this as j-metal.
