MORE J-HARDCORE ALBUMS (Thread 96777)

Oh God, it's here! You make my day :D

To explain this album:

As I did to HCL some moments ago, refering to the cover -> "they are not evil creatures. They are Identities. The various identities a human can have. Yet do you see the hunble human in the midle of all that?
The seem to be lost in his own mind with so much identities he can take... or ... is it a war inside his mind of which identity will control him? "

The music style and compositions also were worked with that issue. Must say oAz amazed me in how he composed "Severed Identity" we did not had much time to work it better in communication, but he did somehow read my mind. In that track you will feel for sure the conglomerate of Identities.
Even I am still socked with that song 0.0

As usual. The music and art are one. Everything is related to each one.

Enjoy it. :)

This album in one word
Mindblowing!!(i know its actually two lol)
seriously all these tracks are amazing especially Spectrum(DJ Noriken Remix). i say this because i think it was in USAO's HS6 release party set.
oAz was really good with Severed Identity, it set the mood for the entire album. i felt a sort of Technorch vibe mixed with nnn when i heard this!! ^^ i liked it alot
pocotan's track Fly High! (2012 Remix) was also another highlight in the album
dai guren dan!!!!!!!!!!!! was like the climax of the album
and then it finishes beautifully with A Night Of Madness (pocotan Remix)

This is probably the best Identity_Crisis release so far!! Wonderful work Orie ;)

Thank you very much my friend. :)
I feel like everytime I work on it, they seem better then the last one. ^^

It's like an evolution of hardcore that gets better with each release

As you know, can't say I love all the genres, music is great, nothing wrong with it of course, that's just me. So I liked tracks 07, 08, 09, 10, 13, 15 above all.
I can't stand vocaloids though, especially Hatsune. And... too sweet voices in general... so to speak, both real and vocaloids.

It is an outstanding album :D Better than first Mermex for sure.

I dont like Vocaloid too. Megurine Luka is the only I CAN try to like it and ONLY in heavy metal songs. Al other genres seems so... plastic listening. :/
But in this case, the Vocaloid has meaning to be here ;)

Track 07 stayed in my mind for weeks ^^.
Track 09 is.... well, you know :p, Metroid is Metroid :D
Though you liking track 13 amazed me. It was infact one of the tracks I expect you not to like at all. Good that you like :p
Track 15, was meant to End this Universe. :)
Like sakon said "finishes beautifully with A Night Of Madness (pocotan Remix)"

^^

^ heh you're right, it's not 13, it's QUIL's no. 12 although the tracks are similar... in style. Why I liked it - the melody that starts at around 1:25 and gets repeated... Very beautiful.

don't like the voice sample at the very begining (still about tr. 12) that appears again in later stages, it is kinda annoying
the starting beats are aggressive as expected although that's fine but the voice... omg...

Orie, could you re-up this, pls? Thanks!

you could always go to the official website.
