They misprinted the obi, instead of DISC 3 (Blu-ray), it says DISC 3 (DVD) on the Blu-ray version lul Right below "World":

Yeah, Keibetsu to Hajimari is pretty crazy. kyo_official twitter 2018.09.25

I exclusively listen to this Dir en Grey, btw:

Considering that the album will be available on streaming services, I wonder which timezone they use for its release on the services... For me, Japan is seven hours ahead, would I still be able to listen to it online even though it's still the 25th for me, tomorrow? And wouldn't it be possible to somehow rip those streamed songs in some way? I don't stream music, so I have no clue how it works.

No vinyl, nope.

I mean we can all agree that and Zero is the perfect opening track, right? They even use it as an opener during concerts sometimes, but na, better make it a deluxe track.

Another random interview: https://okmusic.jp/news/292989?f=fb While repeating construction and destruction, DIR EN GREY keeps on walking forward.

Hey 😠 What's with the farting in the 10 sec. sample of Devote My Life? Oh and there's something new in Utafumi Some background scream-word-thingy.

Because those are some of the most (in)famous symbols in human history.

It's linked on the OHP: http://direngrey.co.jp/news/3553/ In response to below: Official homepage

DIR EN GREY band scores to correct the wiki's lyrics: GAUZE, MACABRE, VULGAR, six Ugly and a ticket for Nightwish in November :]

The Devote My Life intro is weird. What's with the random bongos(?) in Celebrate Empty Howls? The intro for Rubbish Heap is weird as well. Aka sounds promising, the leak didn't do it justice. Followers... wtf is with this album and its weird intros? Lots of calm tracks in the second half, huh. Kigan seems to be an updated version, same lyrics I think. Same for THE DEEPER VILENESS. But it got the VOS treatment... not sure if I'll like the full song. Wake sounds promising. Same lyrics again.

Yeah, me too. It was linked on reddit some hours ago, I simply removed the speaking (because who needs that anyway) and uploaded it for anyone who cares. No competition or anything. Now, here's the samples, finally:

Is that your account? I wasn't aware, but no, I uploaded it because that's what I do. I'll take it down on Wednesday anyway, same for the samples.

Here's the radio edit version without the talk: And here are the samples:

KtH and VoM are 3 to 4 minutes long as well.

Yup, I completely understand all of this. I personally draw the line at Nazi music (Störkraft, Landser etc., if you know any of those). Dunno how I would react if any of the artists I like turn out to be rapists or something alike. Luckily, it hasn't happened so far... I think. But I definitely make a distinction between music and artist. I'd even go as far as saying "I like them as musicians, but not as humans". But defending someone's vile actions because you like the artist is just plain wrong (like Chris Brown fans or those mumble rapper fans do, for example).

I mean it is possible to like music but dislike the musician. It's not like they are inseparably connected.

All of 'em. :^)

Out of all those, Keibetsu is definitely the heaviest, closely followed by Utafumi. Haven't heard Devote My Life yet, though.

The songs they already played live are 軽蔑と始まり (mode of DSS), Values of Madness (TOUR18 Shin Sekai) and Devote My Life (TOUR18 Wearing Human Skin), along with the three known songs of course.

Allegedly, it was a friend of the one who's mixing the album.

They got signed by Warner Music Japan, according to j-wiki.

"Song is sang in a mysterious language from “Planet - Ryo” , which no one understands except Ryo Kawakita @ Mimikajiru" 😂 ...then why do they upload it on their official channel?
