Album Notes & Community Reviews

Marking a definitive shift away from their early visual kei aesthetics, the Japanese group completely embraces a significantly heavier, darker sound. 'Vulgar' seamlessly merges aggressive nu metal and industrial textures with Kyo's incredibly manic, deeply disturbing vocal shrieks and melancholic singing.
