They posted/reposted quite a lot on Twitter/X
Ah, ok. I donât use X.
But thatâs reassuring 
So no magazine website still? lmao

So weird. Voting starts in 9 days and still no info at all.

Hereâs Hevn Magazineâs Twitter:
They posted today about Masked: MASKED new visual kei project (which sounds fucking awesome and with a far greater chance of happening) so I know Hevn is active and aware of having been tagged in a few tweets.
Weâll find out whatâs happening sooner one way or another, silence is also an answer.

MASKED had a previous edition last year and really got a boost this year. Being a domestic event itâs only natural oganizers have a easier time making it happen.

Jealous and happy for everyone that can go to Masked! Itâs too short-noticed for me. But itâs not about Masked, itâs about Hevn announcing Masked and not B7klan which means Hevn is active, working, posting on Twitter (and clearly capable of doing proper social media) but likely didnât get any more info from B7klan so they could launch the site on time which is

But, MASKED last year also had very interesting content of the organizers planning the whole event, they shared part of the making, brainstorming, marketing strategy, etc with the public months prior to the announcement of the first band.. and the organizers were kind of amateur as well, was a risky thing even for them.
MASKED have advantages as being locals, and having experiences as ex band memeber (the head of the project).. creating trust with the community is essential, this âsmallâ details they are missing is slowly chipping away at the initial campaign

Yes, Masked is going to take priority because inherently, what Hevân would be asking itâs readers/followers to do is help pick a band to play at a big festival that will be too expensive for most to attend due to travel costs and Yen to Euro exchange rate.
Whereas most of them can actually attend Masked

I mean, as the voting was planned for this weekend they kinda HAVE to post something. Even if itâs just something along the lines of âsorry for the delay, weâll give you an update ASAPâ.
I wonder why there arenât a lot more comments on their instagram account regarding their silence about M&G and the website that should have been launched last week.

My theory is that they just wonât post it (and weâll discover the bands) until the day of the voting. Which would be totally fine, if they didnât said otherwise previously.

Canât wait when people complain about the bands participating as well

I mean they did announce when the vote times are in advance.
I assume they are thinking everyone will already know what bands they want when they see them on whatever page they are posting.
I agree tho 2 days isnât enough time for everyone to vote assuming this is on a multiple choice basis.
I hope they set some rule like 1 IP 1 vote or some kind of filter to avoid mass fake votingâŚbut I can see the voting being another issueâŚ
Sure, but what if none of the bands I, for example, wanted to see applied and I donât know any of the bands who did? I want to have time to check them out properly. And we have no idea how many bands are available to choose from. Could be 10, could be 50.
I can imagine that not as many bands applied for this as they hoped they would.

True, another reason for the delay might have been that
Pro-tip for the future: If youâre going to do this fan voting, make it only one round and have your shortlist prepared in advance

Or maybe multiple bands applied, but dropped out when they saw no reply in 5-7 business days which is on brand at this point
