Biosphia is a band to watch. They have a full on death metal/grindcore edge to them that I find stimulating. I can't and will not put them into a certain box.I feel that they are just them. Biosphia.
Bassist Yuki, who you may remember from "Bloody Mary", and "Zodia" (if you don't know about those groups that disbanded, rest assured, I shall bring you up to speed) sets the tempo with driving chords and handles the change ups with ease in each song. Guitarists Reki (from Marrow Haze) and May (from Griever) blend together seamlessly with dizzying solos and accompaniments that will have you ready to go destroy whatever is in front of you. Drummer Shion (From Velgreed) continues his percussion with the same stamina and finesse that brought Velgreed to my attention back in the day.

Vocalist Naru blew my mind when I first discovered the band "Lovin'," and trust me, the name had even me, Miss Hattie Hardass, crossed up. I totally thought that it was going to be SUCH an oshare kei band and I made up my mind. "Pretty pop sound, bubbly lyrics, oh boy," I muttered to myself. Okay, I was wrong. As the song "Siren" from the single album "Descent the Savage" began and I heard Naru belt out the lyrics..I sat stunned into stillness. The music gripped me and I was borne away on the alternating smoothness and roughness of his voice. There came a point where he sang acappella and and I was totally dumbfounded. Simply put, the man can blow. I found the unpolished sound of the band gripping and I had to learn more. Give a listen after the jump.
Yes, I am gushing. I was captivated. I had to know more, and hear more. I was like a crackhead looking for her next hit. Anyway, I so totally didn't mean to ramble. But yeah, the man has me in an aural headlock, if that even makes sense. I was saddened when they disbanded. Lovin' had a those three songs that I loved, (get it? nudge, nudge) such as "Dokushinjuu," that Naru totally ran roughshod over and through it. That voice..oh, yeah. He shredded that song. I also loved "Between Heaven and Hell."
I will talk about Velgreed another time. I know I ran away with the point of the original post, but this band is a myriad of sounds and looks that I adore. Anyway, back to the topic at hand. Biosphia is the new project that has seriously created a buzz with the single "Scream of Pain."
You knew I was going to post it right? Of course you did!
Love it. The band is going to go far. I hope they do. The look is streamlined, with the members wearing black leather, gloves, belts and pyramid studs that of course appeal to me and my gothness. The dark aspect is certainly done well. The appearance works for them. They are talented and mesh together well as a unit. Believe me, this band in in my top 5. I'm going to post those another time.
The band will release a new live-distributed single (still untitled) at their one-man live, "Night of Destruction OSAKA RUIDO on May 20th. The single will include their live songs.
