Finally getting around to the video/song, I really like it even if it is just their usual. 
 
Also Hazuki is super, super hot. 

Hazuki's looks like the visual kei god he is with those all-black hot pants and trench coat. It suits his singing and overall performance so good I can't avoid thinking about it.

For some reason, there is always something exciting about listening to lynch. At least to their promo songs... for me, it is something as simple as that combination of Hazuki's faux-baritone voice (with the backing vocals somewhat 'incrustated') doing his trademark anthem-like melodies over that speedy hardcore groove with the drummer hitting the crash on the last quaver of the measure... It's just so 'visual-kei' I can't resist the pleasure.
 
This is fucking why in the last 10 years every act in the scene, even the 'leaders', are doing anything but selling formulaic fan-fulfilling garbage and don't seem to plan to someday stop and put their minds into something with a little plus of 'artistic' value...

Definitely interested!

Whenever I think of lynch, I think of "stale pop-metal". I always listen to these guys expecting some good, heavy-hitting, music, and all I get is music that's one degree of separation from Babymetal -- pop with a commercialized "metal sound" layered over the top for affect.
 
Fingers crossed they step it up.

Fuck they look amazing, so hype (eventho XII was hot garbage [2])

This album needs to slap. XII was hot garbage and they didn’t release anything last year. Let’s hope some fresh ideas have spawned.

Wow, this look Hazuki and the drummer went full-on vk! I praise. Hope the new songs are interesting as well (and not more boring post-hardcore cliché moves).
 
P.d.: Screaming @ that killer portion of nude upper leg lefting from Hazuki's hot-pants.

here's hoping for a lynch. world tour.

I’m wondering about the title...

Well, at least it's not as lifeless like XIII was when you first listen to it. Sounds better for sure.
My pizza metaphor still holds true lol.

It sounds like GREED. I like it. It's lynch. Good job.

It amazes me how consistently these guys put out amazing tracks. 

I wonder if the album will be as generic as the cover art

I look forward to this new album ... without a doubt one of my favorite bands

Really uninspired album cover, dang.

Calling it now—EROS will be the arbitrary jazzy song, RUDENESS will be the one minute generic banger.
