Isn’t there literally only one song out right now since the project was announced like two years ago?

The World of Milquetoast

They’ve been ending setlists with Mercy. After Ranunculus. Which is a fucking dumb ass decision.

World of Mercy sounds like a Keigaku no Yoku and Zetsuentai mashup. It’s a good thing it didn’t end up on TIW. The similarities would have been a lot more obvious.

Edit cuz double post, also just cuz an album has two or three bangers doesn’t mean it’s good also also Kisou is DEG’s worst sounding album. It’s the aural equivalent of chewing foil and sandpaper

I’m not going to argue. That’s why I put it right above Wtd.

Wtd has more TRASH than gems so fuck it

To be fair, I made myself tired of DSS and haven’t listened to it much recently. Also Tue Madsen sucks and I hope DEG never works with him again. Unfortunately he’s been doing the mixes for Sukekiyo so whatever I guess. Most DEG albums sound like hot trash, but I like the raw sound of the original Uroboros and Insulated World. I don’t like a lot of polish – and surely there’s some middle ground compared to what TIW sounds like – but I’d rather that than something sterile. World of Mercy has been discussed at length already, but I think it just sounds like a ton of other shit they’ve already done on TIW smashed together.

Fuck all y’all Uroboros (the OG mix) The Insulated World Macabre Arche Dum Spiro Spero Gauze Vulgar The Marrow of a Bone Kisou Withering to death Edit: and yeah that’s best to worst

Lol what happened to Seraph?

I don’t know, just saw some tumblr posts and it culminated in someone blaming it on the fans for not being active enough at lives

Oh hey apparently Kyo has been “bleeding” on stage again and it’s because he’s been playing to lukewarm crowds. He lives for your energy please scream with all your might!!!!!!!!! my ass

That Kyo image is cracking me up. I don’t think World of Mercy gets good until after the “sekai de!” and by then 90% of the song is over.

Yeah I can’t say Sukekiyo even crossed my mind when I heard this. Is it the electronic elements in the beginning? The riffs are VERY DEG.

Shit, more than that.

The Insulated World songs sound awesome live.

I made it a point to buy the digital versions of Chedoara and Rijin when they hit US iTunes, even though I already had the physical versions. It’s more about support on both sides of the earth more than anything else. It definitely SEEMED like Dimlim was on the way up when the singles for Chedoara were dropping last summer. Amazon Japan sold out of the album and I had to wait several weeks before it was shipped. I don’t know, maybe they aren’t making themselves visible enough? One album, one single, and a live limited mini is rather sparse output compared to other young VK bands hungry for success. And that’s not to imply they aren’t working hard, but there has to be something holding them back.

I don’t want to live in a world where Dimlim disbands while Nazare continues to thrive

I don’t have much hope to be quite honest.

A vast majority of Withering to Death is hot trash. It is the most boring goddamn thing DEG has ever done.

Last minute and a half are the best part of the song.

What could he play in the faster sections? He could use both kick drums for one. He doesn’t need to play a blast beat, but an interesting kick drum pattern would go a long way. He basically plays a four on the floor beat almost every time for faster sections, which leaves a lot of empty space. There’s nothing interesting about that when he does it all the time.

World of Mercy has very familiar tom patterns, a groove that was lifted from Behind a Vacant Image, Aka, and Followers, and the exact same baby’s first blast beat that he’s been using since DSS. At one point he WAS at the very least throwing in some triplets on the kick, but then he wouldn’t repeat it live and apparently just gave up entirely. Shinya has very creative hands, but his feet are practically dead weight.

Shinya is just fucking stubborn and lazy. He’s not an extreme metal drummer, plain and simple, and he has no intentions of playing fast double kick patterns or crazy blast beats.

He’s fine until the band goes the “extreme” route, then Shinya has to play oversimplified patterns to keep up.
