Song of the Day: Silver Ash - Gorgeous Devil

Many of the veterans of the visual-kei scene will be familiar with the name Silver Ash. Silver Ash are one of the first visual kei bands to come out from China, having been founded in Beijing. They are not well-known to most younger fans (who, at most, are familiar with ParanoiD, Venue, and other current VK bands from Hong Kong), but at one time they were rather popular. Their song Gorgeous Devil is one of my favorite tracks. 

Song of the Day - Perverse Rendezvous - Kaya

Sorry folks, today's song of the day is late a bit.

Interview: UK-based Machina Shogunate on Music, Sheep, and Confusing British Customs

For those of you who love steampunk style, gothic rock music, and British people doing awesome things while speaking in a British accent, we have a treat today! In the honor of The Queen's Diamond Jubilee and Metal Monday, we've rounded up the British visual-kei steampunk band Machina Shogunate, and bribed them with tea into doing an interview with us via Skype. Today, they tell us all about their music, some of the challenges they face, as well as sheep, British war customs, and Hogwarts. The band consists of V-zhon (vo), J (gu), and Az (b).
