Elect the Dead by Serj Tankian is maybe the most surprising choice on there IMO Pale Communion is a weird one too ---

Isn’t that album collection for a whole band and not just Kyo (Pantera’s album was Kaoru’s first metal album in fact)? ---

Whoever’s list this is, they seem to really love The Wretched, so that’s cool to know. ---

Definitely hear a bit of a trip hop influence in immortalis. Wouldn’t be mad if sukekiyo went heavier on the trip hop in subsequent releases 🙂 ---

I think the title states its only the influence on the vocals. It also says other books show the influence on the other instruments. I have the guitar book and Pantera’s album is on Kaorus list. He wrote he first listened to it in high school and was very surprised by it and listened to it everyday at home, playing air guitar to it (if i read the japanese correctly). But I would like to know from which book the list of Kyo is taken from! ---

It’s… an instagram post with a pic? Not sure what there is to explain. They don’t come to Chile or anywhere overseas anytime soon, to my knowledge. ---

I filled out the survey while going through the Portland airport earlier. One answer I gave was along the line of printing throwback designs from the early days. I wonder how many people selected Missa as one of their favorite albums; it’s a pipe dream if they perform Indies-era material. I’m sure the Chicago crowd will sing their hearts out though ---

They are 100% planning an overseas tour. I selected Kisou as my favourite album. ❤ ---

Does anyone actually know what G.D.S stands for? Just occured to me when watching Final Days of Studio Coast that I have no idea and cant find anything online besides dumb joke answers. Haha. ---

“God Death Speed” seems to be an assumption but sources around say even Dir themselves do not remember what it stands for anymore 🤷 ---
