Why didn't they added the title tracks of their past singles and made a full length? (Great news tho)

i'm definitely in need of a memento mori 2.0 but i also liked the kuroyuri concept

kuro will not be with him anymore,so...i really don't know exactly what to expect in music terms

but i'm sure that Mei won't change much cuz he has a strong personality 

understand  both opinios

in first place i think that memento mori ended bcuz they didn't wanted to be labeled as a tradicional japanese vk band

like a Kiryu.then kuroyuri came to give more oxygen and freedom to execute different ideas

grotesque and brutal lyrics like ozashiki asobi and gesshoku ,conceptual artworks,nu mental influences like in Benjo

traditional japanese stuff...he can bring all of these stuff to the table.i can't see any reason for a drastic change on 

his way to make music,since i think that the disbandment was kuro and yohan's decision

Im sure his comeback won't disappoint

† in Mei we trust †

@seikun  their names can be similar,but Kikyo is not Kyo or Kyouki, his voice isn't so powerfull,i think

but for the 90's vk wave his vocals are very convenient

you just need to get used to that (like i did) ,but improvements are always welcome,and he needs it

i'll tell you this,The Gallo is the most solid vk band alive nowadays

i mean,almost one decade on the road and these guys just keep improving,making good music with no bullshit

look at their discography,there's nothing to complain about,their essence still there and strong

Half of this thread should be moved to the dir en grey section

To me their discography stops at Kyouka Suigetsu album and continues with Harushigure on...Feels like I'll never digest their material ,which makes me angry.But I'm kinda digging this release. hope Mahiro can survive tho

After almost one decade as a visual kei listener,this is the first time i wish so hard for the end of a project.

Usually i'm always anxious to get the samples,but i rather think twice when comes to this album...

i wouldn't resist checking it if the samples come out,so i feel like if i ever check them i'm going to ruin all the experience,

cuz i'm already hating the whole concept of this release,so letting the band surprise me feels like the only way to keep it fresh and exciting

Maybe they'll pull a DIMLIM and suddenly become good, or at least slightly more progressive than the standard deathcore template, wouldn't that be something?

Seiya will come back, that's pretty good.

But he was the main composer of Deviloof ,so the band must find a guitarist at the same level as him,and I really hope they can do it...

Im feeling so lost with this release.I'm not vibing with nothing that has been revealed so far .the tracklist,that creepy artwork, and now this preview...only the re records on the disc 2 excites me.

Hope my thoughts can change when grab the whole piece

Seiya and keisuke are the essence of Deviloof.both seiya and Hiroto already declared that will be back to the scene,but I'm afraid of what's gonna happen to Deviloof from now on. Didn't see that coming at all. I'm frustrated

Someone,please tell me that this is a fake news 

This is what deviloof would sound like if they didn't care about being the most brutal vk band

the dark age is not over

Are you guys ready for the second chapter of DOGMA? lol

As for Black Metal or DSBM and VK together, it's actually very surprising that there aren't more bands doing it. With all the occultism, depression, suicide and general nihilism in the themes

 

 

 

Sorry for quoting you again, but that's some interesting point. Look at how the vk scene is nowadays... The only "serious" new/young band involving those themes you mentioned is DIMLIM. The rest are just generic/colourful vk shit. Just like DeG is a huge base or a kind of legacy and source of inspiration for many vk bands, Sukekiyo is a "new opened door" for a different world of ideas and combination of sounds involving all the nihilism/occultism/elegance,etc. And those two projects seems to realize the importance and influence of Sukekiyo and how rich their concept is, and the addition of black metal was simply genius, nobody else does that. but the Japanese vk scene seems to be blind to such richness and originality, keeping the same boring things over and over (of course with some exceptions). It is pretty sad that the vk scene in south Korea still so small, and that's mainly due to the personal interests of the korean industry in kpop shit

With a title "the insulated world" 

I imagined something simple and dark, like the MOAB cover,or some epic artwork like MELIORA from Ghost, you know what i mean... definitely not an artwork that represents DeG's music.

I think doesn't even worth it opening large discussions about these guys, they're just aiming for delivering some fun stuff

I agree 100%! Pretty sure if it was Japanese, people on the forum would already be hyping it. But the Korean language matches this style of music very well. 

yeah,that's it.and for sure, if they were japanese they would be one of the most commented bands here

their sound really impresses me,plus the "korean essence" in it ,which something that i'm not used to as i said

btw,the diversity,the passion,the elegant and at the same time sinister atmosphere on some tracks gives me

strong Sukekiyo's vibes and it's one of the favorite bands of the vocalist,so he's definitely influenced

i'm excited for this release,and glad that i've found someone to discuss about these guys

their other project is pretty interesting as well

Let’s be honest, people here would find a way to hate it no matter what it looked like.

well...that's the truth .

jesus christ,seems like they were influenced by the vaporwave aesthetics
at least it feels like we are going to get something COMPLETELY different from ARCHE,maybe...

this is one of the best things i've heard this year,they deserve total attention of this forum

visual kei and black metal,my two fav subgenres together,what could be better?

and glad that they kept the korean language in most of the tracks,

i'm definetely not used to listen any metal songs in korean,sounds really refreshing

when i'm drunk,sad,bored with my music and simply don't wanna listen to anything but still don't wanna be in silence

these two are my fav ones.from time to time i play both on loop
