Q: Dear powerful, yet lovely Ernie. I have a question which has been bothering me for awhile now, and nobody I know can seem to provide me with an answer. What ever happened to Shagrath (ex-Aikaryu, ex-IRODORI) I hope you can help me with this one!

A: Flattery is gold my dear reader! Shagrath actually is pretty active in the session scene. We last spoke about him over here, a session called Ultimate Sonic. The project (which Shagarth will be in the line up) also has a an event with UNDER CODE on November 7th! You can follow him at his blog.

I really hope that helps! Another edition of Ask Ernie has ended!

Second single from Eve

second-single-from-eve

イヴ (Eve) is a new band, which we haven’t yet introduced. They started their activities in February and have already released a single entitled 「Case:A」.

Vocal: 武翔 (Takeru)
Guitar: Nao (ex-irodori as Aki)
Bass: けいた (Keita) (ex-Order in Disorder)
Guitar: Ryo

Ryo joined the band in March, but I couldn’t find a newer pic with him. Currently they seem to be searching a drummer and will release their second single too! 「淡色季節/BULLET」 (Tanshoku Kisetsu) will be released tomorrow, 25th February and cost 1,050 yen. The tracklist is:

1. 淡色季節 (Tanshoku Kisetsu)
2. BULLET

Hopefully we will hear more about them. I think that they are really promising.
