Not so original, they already used XIII for a tour and we see it very often in VK :/ It's a bit generic but i still like it as it means so much for them (13th anniversary, reunion with AK..). But I'am a bit afraid tho, i can't stop thinking that XII was a name of a 12012's album and it was... their last. I'am supersticious but they annouced it a 13th Friday ^^; and the GazettE's NINTH (also a number as title) album will be released the 13th of June, my birthday ! oh wait ... Anyway, even if it's near 63€ i will buy super limited edition and hope that the bluray is a full live and the second CD is a rerecord of some old songs or of greedy dead souls, something like that can be cool for this 13th birthday !

Thanks it's better ^^ And for those who are interested i found an other version of SORROW and other songs lyrics from SINNERS at ltanji.tumblr.com (i don't post them cause she wants people to ask permission but as i don't know if she will answer me, i prefer just credit). She also post some tweets/instagram translations !

I tried google translate with some corrections, there's still errors (from traduction and as i'am not bilingual), but well i think we understand the essential. It's a poetic song anyway, full of metaphors and it seems the MV reflect it well : Dusk to twilight where the evening comes To keep grief silently A light that does not change the one in the heart I believed that I will go on foot Ringing around the crumbling sound I was losing everything and was alone. It is my dreamy days to remember An undoubted encounter and pleasure Sparkle Having a moon floating in the beautiful amber sea I kept this hand that I could not protect from anything. Having a star on the beautiful sky, red as blood* Breathing when I leave consciousness at this time If everything has an end Does even this sea wither? Important words unforgettable Closed dream that can not be touched The sure things were the days we cried together I promise not to forget it Sparkle Dusk to twilight where the evening comes To keep grief silently You made me sad. I will never let go of it again There is no end to end here I want you to believe someday again Sparkle Having a moon floating in the beautiful amber sea I kept this hand that I could not protect from anything. Having a star on the beautiful sky, red as blood Breathing when I leave consciousness at this time A moon floating in this sea At this time to breathe A star on this sea Walking to that future Light that does not change the one in the heart I feel like I can go on foot * translated from "akane" : maybe they also want to express angryness as "Akane" means red with anger. It's maybe the angry red sky, but akane evoke also blood. Anyway we got the idea as they used sunsets in the MV.

Good choice for a PV, the best song from SINNERS imo. Sunset parts at the end are beautiful and fresh from lynch. ! But in terms of music i can't hear a difference with the EP version :/

Ok... i think it's the first time they disappoint me in terms of release, it's not lynch to do stupid best of or compilation :/ I thought it was a joke or something x) I was waiting for an album totally new (with blood and/or creature) not this... I know they are really happy to be 5 again but re-release songs with Akinori is really required ? Put at least ONE new track. Though, I must admit i will consider buying it cause i did'nt bought SINNERS & BLOOD so in terms of "collection" it's worth it in that case but... Let's see the BLuRay bonus and if the "remixes"are useful (SINNERS was not a good release so i'am still curious to see if some of the songs i did'nt like are better) AND the positive thing is that they have more time to work on the really new album (maybe why they kept new songs)

I'am surprised the single is'nt available for download, but well guys great news, it's on Spotify now !

Hi.

BLOOD seems pretty good Here the sample for THE WHIRL on Amazon :

Nice song, finally something "new". Not really new cause it's influenced by their THE BURIED era (whispers remind me unkown lost a beauty + they remake the whirl, not a coincidence) but compared to SINNERS and particullary TRIGGER, it's fresh !! The MV is very nice to see, also fresh things from lynch. Gz guys !

YES ! The whirl one of their best song, and among the ones i wanted to hear rerecorded most !! (EVOKE, SINNERS, BLOOD, CREATURE.. hum you know what i mean ^^')

3 songs from this setlist for the Disc 2 : lynch. 4/18「THE JUDGEMENT DAY」at 新木場STUDIO COAST SET LIST SE.AVANT GARDE 1.ADORE 2.I'm sick, b'cuz luv u. 3.GREED 4.DAMNED 5.DEVIL 6.THE FATAL HOUR HAS COME 7.ALL THIS I'LL GIVE YOU 8.GUILLOTINE 9.INVINCIBLE 10.GHOST 11.melt 12.an illusion 13.MELANCHOLIC 14.D.A.R.K 15.VANISH 16.EVIDENCE 17.THE OUTRAGE SEXUALITY 18.MIRRORS 19.pulse_ 20.EVOKE EN1 21.JUDGEMENT 22.INVADER 23.GALLOWS 24.MOON EN2 25.A GLEAM IN EYE 26.TIAMAT

To wait, here some new samples (the first 45 sec of each songs) http://tower.jp/item/4472914/SINNERS-EP＜通常盤＞ I think i will love Kaleido and Sorrow

It's decent. Anyway even if they sometimes do some forgettables songs, they never did and never will do really "bad" songs. But i must be honest, except the solo and the verses... I was like, "and ? nice collab for a 2 sec bass slap", and i was waiting for some "scream drop" during all the song, i love their soft songs and i don't mean they must add screams to make a great lynch song, but here it could make it more powerfull. The refrain is quite boring and the song is too long. Overall it's a bit disappointing, but let's see the rest of the mini. NIGHT was a so much better title song for the previous EP (one of my favorite song by them). And after an interesting album, with "deeper" sound and new things like Deftones vibes (FAREWELL, PHANTOM..) we can feel indifferent ...

It's nothing but so proud to find this x) Just hacking (Or just change the link of the countdown background image 2 days forward :p)

I know there is a tutorial for buying through itunes jp, can someone link me it please ? I don't find it :/

All the previews seems great for me, especially Fuyuu, a shoegaze masterpiece for sure.

Love this art (the regular is better positioned), the bloody flower fit well with their aesthetical and musical universe imo. Reminds me of I BELIEVE IN ME (one of their best albums) and especially forgiven, it's a really good thing :

As DARK, they'll release AVANTGARDE for Europe with Gan-shin records at 2016/10/14 (one month after japanese release). Already preordered my limited, but i prefer "original" version anyway (with bonus from CDJ ^^)

For those who might be interested in tracks length (according to Tower Records) 1.AVANT GARDE ................................ 00:01:55 2.EVIDENCE ................................. 00:03:57 3.PLEDGE ........................................ 00:03:39 4.F.A.K.E. ........................................... 00:04:23 5.DAMNED ....................................... 00:02:38 6.UNELMA ...................................... 00:04:17 7.PHANTOM ..................................... 00:06:12 8.KILLING CULT ................................. 00:03:19 9.PRAYER ......................................... 00:03:31 10.NEEDLEZ ................................... 00:02:26 11.THE OUTRAGE SEXUALITY ....... 00:02:56 12.FAREWELL ................................. 00:04:20 I really like FAKE, FAREWELL and PHANTOM ( One of their longest song with prominence and latin maria) seems to be powerful ballads <3 (dat singing). I'am not sure about the others, there's something new, but still classical, i'am not really impressed :/ I'am curious about KILLING CULT and its SHADOWS feeling. We can still have surprises with full songs and by the feeling of the whole album, from now, it seems to be better than DARK for me, I can't be really disappointed by them anyway

FULL PV

Wow dat useless release :/ They could add some new versions of old songs or something at least, it's too soon for a compilation and too expensive for what it is imo. Nice look and cover though.

DVD Cover (seems the same for Normal and Limited versions : http://www.lynch.jp)

Hi, seems the link is already down, someone can re-upload DEPRAVITY please ? EDIT : Sendspace works, thank you

L.I.N.K -the faces of evil- I don't like this title, it changes from short names but seriously, "Dark" and "Evil", so cliché and already overused by the band. After 10 years we don't need to know that they play mostly dark and heavy songs.
