I really loves these guys, especially Tatsu! At first, I knew the band from an anime called The basketball which Kuroko plays aka Kuroko no Basket. As you can guess, the genre is sport. And their song, Catalrythm, being the ending song of the anime. The first thing I thought after hearing their song is, "What the heck? The singer's voice is kinda menye (I don't know how to traslate it to English, kind of disgusting maybe?), 'cause you know, This people, Tatsu has never been singing a rock song before (Even he's singing some pop song, his voice is still sounded awful), and suddenly BOOM! He's singing this song. Some times later an anime called Free! (sport too) aired. And again, their song being the opening song of the anime. I heard the song once, twice, thrice, I still got annoyed (but I still loves Tatsu being a voice actor!). Until one day, my friend (she's take a liking to the song) and I, we heard the song together while finishing our tasks. And I started to loves all of their song until now. Yeah, maybe a javanese's old saying, witing tresno jalaran soko kulino ((if I'm not mistaken) love is born from our daily routines with someone / something) is true afterall.
Let me introduce the members!
OLDCODEX is a Japanese rock band from Tokyo, Japan, formed in 2009. They performed the opening themes for the anime series Free! and God Eater and the ending themes for Kuroko's Basketball and Togainu no Chi. They performed at Nippon Budokan on February 11, 2015 [Wikipedia].
Years active : 2009 - present
Labels : GloryHeaven (2009 - 2012)
Lantis (2012 - present)
Left : YORKE | Right : Tatsuhisa Suzuki
Mainly there's only 2 persons in the band, Tatsuhisa Suzuki and YORKE, the other members (like drumer, guitarist and basist) are just for formality, they may get changed everytime.
YORKE is the one who wrotes all of the lyrics, adding some (kind of) rap part and do the painting when they're performing on stage, PV's & the cover album design. While Tatsu do the singing part.
Here's my best 3 (right now)!

The other video has been deleted from the account :(
Here's the one I found from Contrast Silver Tour in 2013
Now I'll tell you why I love them so much!
The reason why I kept listening to all of their songs is because the melody is kind of going up and down. Sometimes, they're singing the song with a very slow tempo on the intro and very fast on the reff, vice versa. It feels like they makes you feel pain and anger at the same time, up and down; before, now and then. But at the end you can feel some reliefs. Second, mainly they're using monochrome palette (Black & White) for the PVs (except for Lantana, Feed A, Walk, Seek your turn and Eyes in chase (if I'm not mistaken, again)) and dark or abandoned place to get the feels better. For the other 5 song, they used some color to created some different atmosphere (like, Walk makes us feel grateful / Cheerful / enjoy our lives, Lantana makes us feel very melancholist (baper), Feed A feels like a craziness / madness about something / someone (mostly used color : Yellow), and Eyes in chase & Seek your turn (mostly used color : Blue) maybe makes us feel so blue (?), lol (I don't know how I feels about the song though, there's too much screams everywhere).
Flash news: Tatsu is one of the most famous seiyuu (voice actor / dubber) in Japan. His voice is commonly used in some big & popular anime such as:
