Don't forget the black PVC jock-strap.

Ok - I'm going to chime in here. I do not know you and I am not going to make assumptions about you, but people are trying to get you to analyze your own actions so you can more productively contribute to discussion. I do not think you realize how you come off, but your posts read very contrarian and combative even when you're not being approached that way. There is a difference between defending a fave and ignoring/downplaying any/all criticisms. Criticism can be a good thing - everyone here is trying to show you this in regards to yourself and the band.

translation: sorry i can't fucking read, guess i'll go back to trolling and not taking responsibility for my shitty behavior

I was in email contact with Ryonai (Blam Honey) between 2008-2009.
He liked my music enough to include it on their final memorial album Providence of Decadence.
He also asked me for multitrack stems so he could perform my version live. I have no idea if this ever happened, although I'm pretty sure that a final live show did occur.

It's really not that bad here. Compare this place to somewhere like netphoria where they tear Billy Corgan a new one every day...
 
There's a tendency to be jaded with the scene because it hasn't really progressed. Many newer bands are just trying to reclaim the glory of the past. But that's the point; it's a niche scene. Bands form and break up sometimes in just a matter of weeks. It's ridiculous, but that's just how it is.
 
I still see excitement for new releases all the time here. No clue what that person on reddit's on about.

I like sukekiyo but their prices are stinking horseshit. Especially now when many of us have been stuck at home for almost a year without income. Come the fuck on.

It is a strange one, I mean I have paid good money for rarer items and stuff but sometimes you have to wonder where the line between dedication and dumb actually is....

You know, I thought you were all kidding...
 
Gackt is a Youtuber. What the actual fuck.

I agree with you.

Try to not hurt myself.

A lot of people seem to hate Immortalis but personally that's by far my favourite work by the band so far. So much variation and so many amazing, beautiful and all out weird tracks. So thatd be my recommendation as well. 

I hate it
If an artist wants to re-record a song for fun as a bonus on some release, it's whatever, I don't care.
 
But re-recording an entire album is the worst thing an artist can do. Albums crystallize the youth and hunger of a band at a certain point in their career.
If you make a few great albums and then start sucking for the next decade or two, who cares, at least your good stuff still exists. But the popularization of re-recordings means even that golden era is subject to its own kind of entropy.
 
Re-recording an album to "improve" it (read: make it shittier with antiseptic production, brickwalled sound and noticeably aged vocals, usually) is cultural vandalism, I think. So what if the old version was lo-fi? An album sounds the way it does for a reason, it has quirks and an atmosphere that reflects the time it was made in. Just like modern production/recording trends will badly date a lot of what's released now in the future.
 
There's an elegance to something just being the way it is. Why do you have to muddle things by throwing another version out there?
 
Learn from your old "mistakes" (which usually aren't even mistakes--artists are notoriously bad judges of their own work) by adjusting the way you tackle new material, and improve that way. Re-recording albums is simultaneously the worst kind of backward-looking indulgence in nostalgia AND irreverence to legacy. It's somehow bad in two diametrically opposed ways at the same time.

Yes.

Hoping these will all find their way onto some legit album / mini album released in a wider distribution. Otherwise good news!

Postponed till late October.

I am, as long as my friend sticks to her promise of selling me her second copy.

It’s probably just because it’s not actually anyone in DEG making this stuff. 

Needless pedantry tbh. When laymen say "Production", they are not referring to the sole process of recording tracks. That's just disconnected from how people talk. Furthermore, "production" -- the assembly -- of the product can be as loose or strict as you want it to be in a given context (i.e. a modern record producer and their role in music production).
