Your Homicidols Weekender #315

/ DAEMON

While the front page has been a little quiet lately, we have been busy behind the scenes. It’s December, which means, by the Homicidols calendar, it’s our Best of the Year awards season. Per tradition, our “Year” goes from December to November, which means that the window for eligibility just closed this past Wednesday. A lot of acts rushed out some last minute entries, so if was a packed week for new material.

Before we get to all of that, the  big news of the week was the announcement we all knew was coming but were silently dreading:  Zenbu Kimi no Sei da. will go on “indefinite hiatus” following their upcoming show at the Budokan in March.

Here’s a bunch of new stuff to distract us from the news of next year’s front runner for Saddest Disbandment:

KING∞RAGE is back with a vengeance.

It’s always nice to hear from our prodigal friend, Shiina Pikarin.
