    Here, anyone remember the name of a Japanese metal band that did a cover of Pink Floyd's "One Of These Days"? Been bugging me for ages.

    I was a big loudness fan, well of their older stuff. This thread seems to be about new stuff though. I haven't heard any of it.

    It was Gotsu Totsu Kotsu. They're named after a famous samurai which helped my hunt!
    Anyway, it's the last song on 2013's Legend Of Shadow. Which is a fine album besides. :)

    Usually CDJapan but I have ordered ARCHE Amazon.co.jp as its cheaper! CDJapan were looking £55ish in total with shipping and Amazon are charging the same with customs fees covered.

    I normally order from hmv.co.jp only tried amazon.co.jp once or twice but found them a bit more expensive. Is this for the crazy First Press 2 CD and Bluray one? Seriously tempted by that one, but it's a bit pricey.

    First press 2 CD and DVD but not blu-ray version :). I always find the packaging worth paying the extra for too. I just thought I'd treat myself :pac:

    I'm tempted to poke someone to get it for me for Christmas :D otherwise might just be grabbing the standard edition.

    the DVD version is going for ¥7,344 on hmv, just so you know ;)

    But yeah, they really do put some amazing stuff into special editions and the like. I should take pics of the crazy Maximum the Hormone special edition I have

    I didn't want to indulge you, but damnit... I love Deluhi too damn much! :eek:

    I'm sure you've heard Leda's other band Undivide by now, right? Well, former Deluhi drummer Sujk started a new project called Arkhelism. The second album had Juri on vocals, and Leda was meant to be a "guest" on a track, but you can kinda tell he did the whole album, so it's practically Deluhi without the original bassist. Well worth a look:

    Also, yours truly may have a certain someone's signature guitar now :)

    Yeah Thanks to Babymetal I've been introduced to quite a few bands out of Japan, most with some sort of link back to the awesome "Kami" (Gods) of Metal in Babymetal. In some ways it's unfortunate that Deluhi and then Undivide had finished but fantastic because shortly after Leda joined Ohmura, Boh! and Aoyama in BM. Seeing them live twice this year was awesome.

    I actually had a brief conversation with Leda online after he responded to my review of their show in Brixton. Also had a few exchanges with Yuya Maeta (BM Drummer) in the days after the show.

    Leda probably is heavily involved in Arkhelism. Apart from being an insane musician, It's been said in the BM circles that He under the pseudonym " Tsubometal" produced the music for 3 tracks of the album.

    I absolutely loved their 2012 album Justice, but haven't gotten anything they've done since. They've a new album out since September, Avalon. Damnit, too much awesome stuff out lately, I can't keep up with it all! :eek:

    The leading lady in Metal right now, covering a song which originated from an old Anime in Japan called "Evangelion"

    This is "Tamashi no Rufuran" (Soul's refrain) by Nakamoto Suzuka

    CD Japan is a good site to buy from but they are expensive. Amazon Japan sells at a lower price because the are based in Hong Kong not Tokyo

    Got a reply from HMV, apparently the manufactures won't let them sell the album overseas. Maybe because they want folks to buy whatever European edition? If Amazon'll ship, I'll grab it there, I just normally always order from HMV, they're exceptionally good and I usually get coupons and stuff for money off orders.
