Hello and welcome to Henkka’s Aucifer blog, hereafter referred to as Silent Melody. How original…
In case you weren’t aware, Aucifer are a band. Actually, they’re a pretty damned good band in my books. If you’ve no idea what they’re about, the Jpopstop article on them would be a good place to start investigating — I would know, I’m the one who wrote it!
I’d call Aucifer my all time favorite J-rock band. I got to know them like anyone else: through the awesome Kaikan Phrase anime. I loved it! Since I’m a huge music fan, it was a very entertaining watch: whether it was the silly animated playing scenes, the ridiculous band rivalries, the “releasing five singles on the same day” schemes or the 24-hour live shows (what the hell?!), I thought it was magnificent. More than anything though, it was the music that stuck with me. It didn’t take long for all the songs to be completely burned into my memory. I started investigating, quickly dug out their whole discography and, well, here we are.
As to why this blog exists? I have another blog where I occasionally wrote about Aucifer but I figured, why not just make a new one focusing entirely on the band? Hey, they’re my favorite after all. Some might argue that there’s not much to talk about a band that’s been dead and largely forgotten for a good seven years now, but as it just so happens, there’s very strong reason to believe Aucifer are going to be back soon (more on that in the next post.) Even if that never happens though, I don’t mind: I like to occasionally check what the members are up to and then write about my findings. And hell, even if they stop doing anything at all, there’s still all those old songs to fangirl over, right?
Please join me as I write about anything and everything having to do with Aucifer, its music, its members’ recent activities and about how much I want to engage in sexual activity with Yuki‘s hair. Please bear with the site as I try my best to not make it look like shit!
Hum… I was sure I made a comment early today. Whatever, I still remember it.
“o.o’ WTH, an Aucifer blog? Weird, I never got the impression it was your favorite J-Rock band. Sure you talked about it, but if anybody asked, I’d probably… Actually, I was going to say I’d guess 9mm Parabellum Bullet, but it’s more like a random choice between that, SharanQ and Aucifer. You talked a bit about Acid Black Cherry too, but that wasn’t enough. I always expected some other blog to come up, since you keep the other one pretty closed on H!P and J-Pop, but you listen to a lot of other stuff…
Hey, why is there Acid Black Cherry in the Official Sites on the sidebar?
“I got to know them like anyone else: through the awesome Kaikan Phrase anime.”
Oh, I’ll take that as a “Watch Kaikan Phrase if you want to know Aucifer.” and go look it up then.”
@phr: Thanks a lot for the first comment! As usual eh? 🙂
Yeh man. I just like the band so much, I had to make one. Who knows if I’ll actually have anything to say about them but… well, we’ll see. Haha, you probably know me better than i do. 😛 9mm and Sharan Q are definitely in my top faves for sure.
The guitarist of Aucifer is also in Acid Black Cherry. They’re a cool band i think! Maybe a little too on the visual kei side of things for my taste, but i’ll deal. 😛 with that said though, i do have a single and a dvd or two from them in my shelf.
And definitely watch that anime if you’re into music and band stuff! I have to warn you though, you will only find it in very shitty quality on the internet, but still. That anime was a good watch. Thinking of rewatching it myself actually, been a few years. It’s good stuff. 🙂
If you ever do watch it, let me know what you thought!
