J-goth and Doujin Metal

Ever since I listened to the album  少女 ～D～  from Eine Kleine I have delved full force into this brand of symphonic J-goth metal. I am content to have found another genre that caters to my lofty tastes as D'va;;;;;;5 and Team Grimoire does.

I have been wanting to write something worthwhile to accompany this ground breaking piece. Every time I listen to it I am left in tatters. It was so good that I had almost given up on being able to find the right words to express the sort of sentiments it has evoked from me. It was so powerful that I think it might have brought out some of my best work.


The totality of our most agonizing moments can crush our spirit to bits and consign us to expire in a gutter with abject disgrace. From a most hallowed beyond the songs of the most nobly ruined call out to us. Our innermost injuries are given succor by a cathartic lullaby that is sung with the benevolent grace of a tragic heroine. All the while encouraging us to keep pushing forward no matter how grisly the demise is which awaits us.

Because real art brings people to their knees.

It cuts right through this turgid veneer, that buildup of petty grievances which has accumulated from the nervous procession of our lives. With a musing and melancholy sort of wonder we are reminded what it felt like to tap into that well full of contemptuous resolve. Now driven by a ghoulish tenacity, we descend back into that very same chasm which we were cast out from before.

Because real art should bring people to their knees. 

And they Shall Know No Bad Vibes

“They will be my biggest badasses, these dudes who are down to roll with me.

Like a teenage day one Zyzz I shall mould them and in the gym of war I shall shred them.

They shall be of iron aesthetics and steely biceps.

In level 99 armor I shall clad them and with rare artifact end game raid drop guns shall they be armed.

They will be too fucking sick to get sick; no wimpy cold or fever will ruin their day.

They will have such hax, MLG strats, and gaming rigs that no scrub could ever beat.

They are my bouncers against the Terror.

They are the Defenders of Brokind.

They are my Space Marines

. . . and they shall know no fear.”

-The Empruh of Mankind
