The THIRTEEN // A World of Villains: There is no justice in this world

雪 (Yuki) 28 June 2026 No Comments
In April of 2023 The THIRTEEN released their 8th EP “A World of Villains”, a collection of 6 songs with a concept of, you’ve probably guessed it, villains. And while The THIRTEEN have released a new single earlier this year, 雪 (Yuki) can’t wait to take you on a journey through one of their earlier works.

In this review we’ll dive into every track individually, discuss the lyrics and the story they collectively tell, and of course we also take a detailed look at the music video for the song “QUEEN”!

After the release of their first song “Breed” SLEIPNIR already spoke with us to tell us more about themselves and the single, but in that interview they also mentioned the upcoming release of their second song and music video: “Into The Light”!

Since their first interview with us was so well received by all of you, we invited the band a second time to tell us more about their new single.

LIZA // 未完の肖像 (Mikan no Syouzou): I’ll carve “me” into you

雪 (Yuki) 28 December 2025 No Comments
LIZA is a brand new band in the ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei) genre, but the same can’t be said about its members. Consisting of former members of リベラヴェル (Libravel) and Ars Nøva, LIZA aims to show us their world that is inspired by art and dark fantasy through their first single and MV “未完の肖像” (Mikan no Syouzou)!

雪 (Yuki) took a deep dive into their first work, and will tell you all about it in this review!

DEVILOOF // 因習 (Inshu): The moment when the crimson moon shines

雪 (Yuki) 30 November 2025 No Comments
DEVILOOF are currently in Europe for their tour -THE UNHOLY-, which makes it a great time to talk about their music once more. The newest addition to the group’s discography is the digital single “因習” (Inshu), which also has a music video.

The band themselves describes the song as ‘a return to their roots’, but is this really the case? In this review 雪 (Yuki) took a deep dive into the single to tell you all about both the song and the accompanying MV.

OPHELIA // Proof that I am alive here and now

雪 (Yuki) 24 October 2025 No Comments
OPHELIA is a brand new visual metal band based in Tokyo, Japan. And even though the band only has one official member, there are quite a few interesting aspects with this project.

More than enough reason for 雪 (Yuki) to ask vocalist 煉華 (Renka) for an interview to learn more about his band, inspirations and of course the very first single “薄明” (Hakumei)!

NETH PRIERE CAIN // 神の啓示、月光の聖女 (Kami no Keiji, Gekkou no Seijo): Why am I crying, without any light?

雪 (Yuki) 28 September 2025 No Comments
NETH PRIERE CAIN’s single “神の啓示、月光の聖女” (Kami no Keiji, Gekkou no Seijo) may have been released in February of this year already, but the single tells an interesting story of contrast that we do want to share with you.

For that reason 雪 (Yuki) took a closer look at the single and the music video for “オルレアンの少女～la Pucelle d'Orleans～”, and she’s now ready to tell you all about them in this review!

SLEIPNIR // “We’re a local, handmade indie band that just recently played our first live show.”

雪 (Yuki) 7 September 2025 No Comments
Following the online success of their first single and music video for "Breed", SLEIPNIR played their very first live show in TIGHT ROPE 名古屋 (Nagoya). But, if you didn't see their online presence until now, you're probably wondering: "Who are they?"

We asked the group for a chat to talk about their band, music and of course how they see their future. Are you ready to meet SLEIPNIR?

DEVILOOF // Devil’s Calling/Angel’s Cry: The story of love that I vow to die for

雪 (Yuki) 3 August 2025 No Comments
Despite being released in August of 2020 and now being considered an ‘older work’ from the group, the “Devil’s Calling/Angel’s Cry” single from DEVILOOF contains two very interesting songs that are connected to each other in a very interesting way.

In this review 雪 (Yuki) takes you deeper into the single to hopefully let you see these two songs in a different light than you might have originally.

DAMNED // 酔狂と交わる強迫的価値観 (Suikyou to Majiwaru Kyouhaku Teki Katikan): All that’s left is the determination to keep going

雪 (Yuki) 27 July 2025 No Comments
Recently we took you on a deep dive into DAMNED's song and music video "STAIN", which ended up being one of the more story-type of songs for the band. And since you seem to be enjoying their works as much as we are, we're now taking you on a journey through their (currently) most recent single and music video for “酔狂と交わる強迫的価値観” (Suikyou to Majiwaru Kyouhaku Teki Katikan).

Will the band live up to "STAIN", or will their obsessive values intersect with insanity?
雪 (Yuki) can't wait to tell you more about it!
