- D'espairsRay Set To Stun -
D'espairsRay

Fresh off the conclusion of their European tour, Japanese gothic metal band D'espairsRay have set themselves to stun with the upcoming release of their second full-length album "Mirror"!

Looking back on the two years since the release of their debut album "Coll:set," "Mirror"is set to include the advanced singles "Squall," "Closer to ideal," and "Kogoeru Yoru ni Saita Hana" as well as new tracks for a total of 12 songs. Keep your eyes peeled for more metal riffs, subtle electronics, and polarly melodic and aggressive vocals when their first full-length album in two years hits on April 11, 2007.

Preorder one of two varieties of D'espairsRay's new album "Mirror" to get your hands on a bonus CD-sized band member photo--one of eight varieties of which will be included with every album. Limited edition features digipack jacket design and poster (only while "First Press Available" banner is displayed on our site), while regular edition includes a bonus music video as CD-Extra content.

- Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Loft -
Kiyoshi Kurosawa's Loft

Master horror directors are like master magicians, they can show you their cards and still suprise you in the end. Kiyoshi Kurosawa is one such master and "Loft" is his latest trick.

While "Loft" is billed as Kurosawa's long-awaited return to horror, inside this story of mummies, a grotesque search for beauty, and murder lies an equally worthy homage to films passed. Each element of the film is an archetype: the strong yet fragile heroine, the silent and charming guy next door, a viciously former lover, and a sad, gorgeous, and ever building string soundtrack. The joy of "Loft" is not in how these elements serve to pierce through the horror atmosphere with heroine-carrying 1950s romance, but how Kurosawa then cuts his hommage back down with smirky, black horror-humor.

Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Loft" stars Miki Nakatani ("Kiraware Matsuko no Issho"), Etsushi Toyokawa ("Nihon Chinbotsu"), and the most impudent winch you've ever seen. "Loft" was released February 9, 2007.
