Felt cute, might start a metal band later.

[@nicoleputnam7778]

Idol unit*

[@protikclapton]

Count me in

[@jamesbright3439]

What's the name?

[@Cjspectre7782]

I really do hope this group gets another incarnation soon. I regret finding them after they announced a hiatus, but i have enjoyed going thru the rabbit hole of all things Necroma

[@mgrzx3367]

The lead singer is doing a solo project under the name Isiliel, I don't think this band exists anymore. "Ritual" is an amazing song. TC we all dream.

[@ronnimetalpicodeathchamato6266]

Check out MANACLE (three girls here plus an unknown member at the time; though Risaki left the group last year and it was just revealed recently that she gave birth) with Hina, Risaki, and Rei (Ray)! Tall super long hair girl is Himari and is the only member left, but is currently focused on a solo career as ISILIEL (same management/producer of NECROMA), and girl in make-up is Sari who has been solo for several years now...

[@gozuam1617]

Yeah its a shame, really liked their music and am hoping for the same. Thought they were only an album or two away from getting more popular.

[@christinawilkephillips7684]

Freezing your ass off in the woods for a metal video ! 🤟😝🤟 METAL AF

[@carljohansvamp]

The Lead and tha Tall one are metal. The others are probably questioning their career choices.

[@Kenryu20]

I love your band, the concept of lovercraft together with the idols theme is super creative, the voices have a unique harmony, they deserve much more recognition.

[@gival2854]

Will I match the spyder, I love here greatfull !) 😘Please!

[@ThisVideoAnnoyedMe]

I don't think there's any other Japanese band that cares so much about it's foreign fans! Thanks so much for the lyric translations and performance videos for those who can not be there personally! As for this son, such a perfect mix of synth and metal rock sound, need more songs/bands like this! Anyone who wants to hear something similar should also check out these older Necronomidol songs too: Azathoth, Ichor, Skulls in the Stars, Vulture

[@hall0weentwn]

even though they aren't bands, idol groups from hello!project have english trans even though they aren't always right.

[@GideonHaitis]

That's only because their producer is an American. Or Australian. Either one of those two.

[@tcmax7837]

american

[@orhunseyran8506]

its business dude.

[@sjnix7044]

There manager is a metalhead from the US. He totally gets it.

[@inversion66]

Himari probably didn't imagine when this was filmed that she'd eventually be the senior member of the group.

[@lordvile1209]

at the end there, seeing how the snow doesn't immediately give way to their steps, you know that shits real, ice fucking cold. epic.

[@txmetalhead82xk]

Absolutely! You feel the cold on your head, neck, hands, and then feet. In fact, they probably couldn’t feel their feet. Dedication!

[@Saicofake]

Something about the vocals singing over the synthesisers during the chorus makes it mesmerising.

[@kalebdaark100]

I believe the lyrics on the chorus for this translate to something like "I'm so cold I may not survive this video, I'm so cold my joints have frozen stuff, I'm so cold I hope the filming's good, I'm so cold this will be the end of me".

[@technewsfortechnoobs]

You can tell how much of a trooper they all are, especially when you can literally see Hina (in the pigtails in the back) it literally standing there shaking because she is so cold. They all harmonize wonderfully in this group, but I honestly like the current version of Necronomidol more....and god help them if Himari ever leaves. Her voice is PERFECT for this style of music.

[@Gaoshiki]

>Music Video in a snowy forest Yep, that's metal alright.

[@jaye23_]

The only way to make it more metal is to watch it in 144p.

[@konstantin3374]

still not kvlt enough, buuuut maybe if I put my speakers in metal bucket...

[@mohameddebdoubi2130]

Gaoshiki jahahahhahahhahajajabaja

[@TheXnyu]

it’s even Death Metal

[@Satsujinki1973]

@@jaye23_ So true, yes I checked.

[@ThanatosSD]

Sari is unique and we will always miss her. But I will always be supporting NECRONOMIDOL.

[@PrincessPetra14]

Did I mention? New favorite band! New favorite song! Go, Necronomidol!

[@WibottaZu]

The western hordes love Necronomidol! Between the English subtitles and the new Bandcamp store, I think 2017 will be your year!

[@pepperwillow6]

Wibotta Zu I just started liking these creepy and beautiful girls Necronomidol, can you please tell me what is Bandcamp store ?

[@WibottaZu]

The link is in the video description, you can buy music and merch with international shipping :)

[@OSiE_3150]

Necroma: the costumes were too hot to wear onstage, making the girls sweat too much and feel uncomfortable, so we needed to make some adjustments Also Necroma: shoots music video in the freezing cold

[@Gustave154]

And the most chillest (literally) idol group goes to NECRONOMIDOL!!! DEATHLESS is a superb album definitely would recommend it if you like this song.

[@kwasimodo7816]

A "Making of" of this video would be very interesting.

[@fortyeightrush]

First psychopomp had such beautiful scenery and now ITHAQUA, NECRONOMIDOL is really giving us scenery fanservice.

[@bigmasterjay]

Talking about suffering for your art. I am impressed! Fighting!

[@HiDesert004]

The Great Old Ones demand suffering!

[@sleepysartorialist]

Fighting is a Korean thing don’t confuse Japan and Korea dude, that’s racist.

[@Staplegun]

@@sleepysartorialist You're right, the they FAITO instead.

[@txmetalhead82xk]

Lyrics are incredible - respect! Worshipping the Ice Walker, Ithaqua! Awesome

[@edgardvazquezhernandez1182]

MY god I felt myself freezing just watching them!!

[@21Kyzix12]

最近メタルのアイドルがちょっと流行ってきたけど、やっぱりNECRONOMIDOLはもちろん可愛くて綺麗で、その上に音楽と映像と雰囲気も一番メタルって感じですね。これからも応援しています！

[@Toughguysdontdance12]

They die of Hypothermia at the end of the video, LOL, you can't get more black metal than that.

[@TheBadboybrian]

and their Souls... Froze Over... I lil bit over the edge... of some frozen planet somewhere....far... far ..far.. .Away. =D

[@rafaelrash]

loosing your toes in the name of metal!

[@txmetalhead82xk]

Becoming one with the Great Old One, Ithaqu.

[@derekwooding5354]

Just discovered this awesome Japanese metal band. I always appreciate it when they accommodate all their fans over seas. And Michelle has now joined them

[@noahspencer7050]

"We gotta film a music video! What's the cheapest thing we can do?" "Well, it's really snowy outside." "I have a brilliant idea."

[@MarceloZinato]

This is pretty fucking amazing

[@mitchellhodgemeyer7306]

A great track and a beautiful video (the girls are dedicated - they must have spent hours freezing in the snow.) Anyway, well done all - I dig this song and the clip too. Can't wait for the new CD; just a few more days of waiting.

[@Princess_kitty14]

dying of hypothermia just for the aestethics, can't get any more metal than that

[@vmmmusik1519]

its all so creepy its cool. so cheesy but feels so real. takes me back to Interview with a Vampire days. & still hot, i mean cold, no hot, for sure hot

[@marionetamtz]

OMG! This is awesome! Great song and video! I respect the girls more than ever, that place must have been very cold.

[@wintermute5486]

I came to see the idols but this guitar tone is red hot. Great song.

[@Raggedyman72]

Damn. You can see them shivering. Hina and Sari, mostly.

[@Raggedyman72]

Poor frozen Hina 2:23

[@luffywarrior]

Raggedyman72 I was thinking the same, that most have been hard for them.

[@luke666808g]

Grim and frostbitten af.

[@Frahamen]

And some thermal blankets

[@motterb.motterb.9033]

Raggedyman72 These Idols are tough

[@metalmachine4433]

how should I describe this. It is both beautiful, mystical, cute, awsome

[@UMAlogist]

Song sounds incredible! Really great job on the video too.

[@mgrzx3367]

Amazing to watch this. Thank you so much. The love I feel is too much. Arigato . Thank you so much

[@mgrzx3367]

Again KZbin fails me. They put this way down in a mix with a large variety of Japanese all Female metal bands, and this is first time hearing them. This is awesome sauce. I'll sub and ring the bell. Amazing! Arigato.

[@xXxXSchreiXxXx]

my favorite necronomidol song!

[@Desert_Rose_]

This song is hauntingly beautiful

[@theorenspencer]

Great song and video! Looks like it was really cold!

[@DavidKAnderson]

Just saw them last night here in Portland. This song is their closer, and it was legit epic.

[@ashj340]

Watching them perform this live was such good. Takes it to another level. Girls are very talented

[@pabloyagani]

Best song and video they have done

[@markbigelow2608]

I love the lyrics. So Lovecraft.

[@annawanna5995]

The girl with the teal-coloured hair reminds me heavily of that one Suehiro Maruo's artpiece... If her look is a direct reference to him, then it's kinda amazing to see it in an idol group of all places :D The song's cool by the way

[@asxsoonxas]

売れる売れないを意識しずぎないで、この曲のリズムなりイメージをキープしていけばいい意味で維持していけると思います。 変に露出とか甘い路線ん移行すれば一時は売れると思いますが、短命に終わるのがわかる気がします。（素人目線）

[@cockroachafro]

Sounds like some old Lucio Fulci soundtrack music mixed with symphonic death metal. Its great stuff.

[@bexigah]

One of the best metal song I ever heard

[@Jose-zs7pc]

Vamos a tener difícil superar este tema. Ojalá me equivoque 😁😁😁. El estribillo se me ha colado en la cabeza y no lo puedo dejar.👍👍🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟🤟

[@tanapolboon-umpol8522]

another great song and pv !!

[@tomasc0202]

This band is amazing. Lately listening a lot to Japanase Metal and it doesn't dissappoint me.

[@JOHL08]

I am so possessed by this song 😂😈🤘🤟👍. Love and support from France ❤️🇨🇵.

[@MrInfernoblade10]

Wow this is truly awesome as if I needed another reason to love Japan, thanks "This Exists"

[@yosephhermawan3085]

Amazing chorus..I love it

If you love ITHAQUA and you love Necroma, join us for this fun social support campaign on Friday! www.homicidols.com/next-friday-we-go-deathless4necroma/

[@SuperInformatik]

One of my favourite songs. But Shooting of the video must been hell... or maybe more the cold counterpart. You clearly see several times, the young women are shivering... except Risaki Kakizaki. She is wearing way shorter clothes and doesn't even move an eyebrow. You have guts as hard as steel, Kakizaki-chan. 😁 But the hard shooting day provided a music video with remarkable imagery. It was definetely worth the struggle, congrats girls. 👍

[@MaskedRiderChris]

Much as I like the vocal harmonies in this one throughout, especially at the end, I admit to preferring the current lineup based on what I've heard so far. These girls sang well, but there's something about the new lineup and how entrancing and sultry their lower vocal ranges are, to me. Not that this is a bad song, by any means! The video was also intensely thematic, with Ithaqua being the Wind Walker, after all, and the frozen wastelands being his territory. EDIT: OK, I take that back--that vocal melody and harmonies at the end won me over to the dark side. :)

[@ThaKoalaKing]

The girl with the pigtails didn't look very happy to be there, she was very noticeably freezing her ass off.

[@meimimiyasaki]

SO AMAZINGLY BEAUTIFUL! Guys! I have no words! The song is amazing tho! Congrats!

[@shipfusarelaifu]

This music just makes me want to go on a quest.

[@syrtycon7299]

God bless the one with the pigtails. You can tell she was freezing her butt off.

[@alexander_sinclair]

wow they deserve more recognition

It's beautiful! I saw your band's name on a british magazine (Neo). Greetings from Turkey.

[@erikstriker1446]

Nicee!! Japanese music it's amazing!

[@_Phillter]

What a song! Immortal, Emperor, and Burzum would be proud.

[@EnricoAldi]

PhillterGaming man.. I was thinking of them when watching the video... mostly Immortal and Burzum... used to love Black Metal in the late 90s... but I think Necronomidol did a great overcome....

[@Yaguara]

Well it's really different from what those bands makes in terms of music, especially Burzum because Varg uses to like poor production (well but no he's not into music anymore) and here we have a really good work on the sound. But in terms of atmosphere the starting in the moutains clearly reminds me of Immortal or Darkthrone's artistic style. IMO Necroma's "most close to Black Metal song" is あたいの爪痕. As I said in the comment section of the PV I think this song sounds more black metal than a lot of recent BM bands.

[@EnricoAldi]

Yaguara I see you're another Black Metal listener... I used to be in the same vein... hehe... cool...

[@Yaguara]

Yes. Mainly the second wave famous bands you mentionned and 2 or 3 others (Darkthrone, Mayhem, french band Seth, Marduk...). I also like more mainstream version of black metal like Cradle but only old albums and well, i'm not sure we can still call that black metal, but i'm not focusing on only one style (i'm not anymore a kid who think one style is the best and all other things are bad).

[@hrolfr-kraki]

I think any guy from a real black metal band would have beheaded them and ate their eyes while jerking off.

[@buyungmetal9967]

heavy metal this song its so really2 cool 😎✊👊👌

[@Edgelordess]

This Exists Brought me here. Love anti-idol so much better than j-pop.

[@UnkaJosh]

So the structure of Ithaqua singing to the band to lure them to join it (in death) reminds me of the old German song Erlkonig, and that's awesome.
