Another that caught my attention lately is Sirokuro ! They formed in the same period as CELL HEAD and look interesting to me, especially for those who remember the band 鴉-Kalas-
Vocals : Nyago (ex. 13階段)
Guitar : Rui (ex. 鴉-Kalas-)
Guitar : Dou
Bass : Mari
I, personally, think Dou has one of the most amazing look I’ve seen lately !
Anyway… the band already distributed their first demo for 10 days back in August, it was called “MIND FUCKER~demo version~” which leads me to think they could sound pretty heavy !
Make sure to check them out !

Here we go for a new band ! I’ve been following for about a month now, but now that I’m sure to see them live pretty soon, I wanted to introduce them here as well !
CELL HEAD started activities in the middle of the year with five members. Their official website is now opened since September 1st, 3 days before their first release, a maxi-single entitled 「The insanity of the insane」 and containing two songs :
1. 爛 (Ran)
2. Civilization
But 4 days later, on September 8th, they lost their drummer, so the band is now constituted by 4 members as follows :
Vocals : Syo
Guitar : Sayo
Guitar : Ryu
Bass : Tenka
Dont you think they look cool ? Syo just looks awesome to me, not even mentionning that he somehow makes me think of Mamo ! Keep an eye on them !

Thanks to Reina for sending this in!
KANA, ex-ASYURA is now appearing as the drummer in a new band Vega, who revealed their OHP about a month ago; on October 1st.
The band is currently four members, but do have announcement on their OHP saying that December 13th will be the last live with the current line-up. It has not yet been announced (anywhere I can see at least) who, if anyone, is leaving. Perhaps they’re adding a member instead? We’ll have to wait to find out.
But currently, the members are as follows:
Vocals - あき (Aki)
Guitar - 寛 (Hiro)
Guitar - 義 (Yoshi)
Support Bass - 幸 (Yuki)
Drums - KANA
The band currently doesn’t have a discography section set up on their page, and it doesn’t seem like they’ve released anything, but as far as their look goes, they’re looking nice and together.
So we’ll see what the 13th brings! Hopefully it’s good news and hopefully we’ll be hearing music from them soon!

Ah, fresh meat. There’s a new band in town and they go by the name of Dear L’Novel (ディアーラ ノベル) Hailing from Osaka, this band is fairly new as they have formed September this year and begun activities in October. Much like any other band, their concept is that every member has a specific desire/meaning that produces a story.

Vocal—kazuho
Guitar—英-hide-
Bass—pochi
Drums—kiyo

Otogashi

There’s a new band around that should prove to be very interesting. They formed in October and are called 音画死 (Otogashi).
While their OHP is no where to be found (as of yet, that I could find anyways) the line-up alone should make many different fans happy.
Vocals - Zen (ex-Fatima, ex-Vanilla)
Guitar - 伶希 (Ryouki) (ex-KuRt; THE JEAN)
Guitar - 桜澤祐稀 (Sakurazawa Yuuki) (ex-Medi@lize)
Bass - IV
Drums - 由希 (Yuki) (currently Setsuna in biene, ex-HeaRt, ex-JOKER)
They performed their first live at the end of last month, and have a bunch scheduled for November and December. Hopefully we’ll be seeing an OHP and release from them, it’ll be interesting to hear what they sound like.
According to Yuuki’s blog, they’re an experimental version prototype band.
Let me also add, the bassist, IV, does not seem to be ex-Kisnate’s bassist. I could be mistaken, but I did take a brief browse through his blog and found absolutely no mention of the band whatsoever (and lots of news about upcoming sessions).

Another new band for you today ! I guess this one will ravish some of you ! And to understand why, just take a look at the members…
Vocals : Kaito (ex-Tokami)
Guitar : Yuki (ex-MASQUERADE)
Guitar : Hiryu (ex-SCREW [roadie])
Bass : Kaede
Drums : Tekede (ex-HATED)
Freesia appeared about 4 months ago and consist of a pretty interesting line-up, notably with the return to activities of Kaito who previously left Tokami.
They’ve already played with a bunch of well-known indie bands like SIVA or Aicle for example, which can seen as a proof of quality…
Definitly a band to keep an eye on, waiting for a first release !

Hello everyone, here’s my first post as a new member of Shattered Tranquility ! Hurray ! I hope I can bring you some nice news !
————————————————————————————————————————-
So, let’s introduce my first band ! They’re not exactly brand new and you may have seen their name a while ago when Adrienne posted their OHP renewal back here.
But I thought they needed an introduction as they look pretty interesting to me, not even mentionning their first release available in about 3 weeks…
Vocals : Kazuto
Guitar : Rin
Guitar : Hinata
Bass : Sana
Drums : Takuya
They look pretty interesting right ? Well, if ever you’re interested in them, be aware that they will be releasing their first maxi-single on October 26th as it was mentioned by Adrienne here when they were still known as baLetta !
Make sure you listen to the samples on Music Mall !

Mirabilis LibeR

Mirabilis LibeR (ミラビリス リベル) is a new band that had their first live this past July on the 26th at Otsuka Red Zone. Shortly after, they lost both their vocalist YUKI and drummer You. Therefore, on August 10th at Takadanobaba AREA they went on an activity pause.
But they weren’t giving up! In September they welcomed a new vocalist, Yuu to their line-up and earlier this month they also acquired a support drummer, Hiroto. Now they’re restarting their activities under the concept of being a band that reveals their colour with their distinct world view that lies in a rebellious spirit.
The members of the band are:
Vocals - 優 (Yuu)
Guitar - 希羅 (Kira)
Guitar - 妃咲 (Hisaki)
Bass - yu-ya
Support-Drums - 拡斗 (Hiroto)
The discography page on their OHP isn’t working right now (I keep getting that it’s forbidden), but I’m pretty sure they haven’t actually released anything as of yet. Although, their look is pretty together so hopefully we’ll be able to hear something from them soon!
