    I don't know, how many fans Anthony has here, but since I really like his music, and since he has a new album coming, I thought he deserves a topic.

    So, as a starter, how do you like the fresh new track (Midnight City) from his upcoming album, "Hurry Up, We're Dreaming"?

    First, the track was a letdown for me, since I expected it to be simular to the songs on "Before The Dawn Heals Us" - my favourite album from him. It has more synths, but I think, it was predictable after "Saturdays = Youth". But after getting over the fact, that it isn't simular to anything from BTDHU, I started to dig this new track. So I have high expectations about the new double album.

    Anthony said, that the new album will be The Smashing Pumpkins-inspired:

    Talking about the album in a press release, Gonzalez cites the Smashing Pumpkins' super-grandiose 1995 double album Melon Collie and the Infinite Sadness as a key influence: "I saw when I was a teenager that I could dig into [the album]. It was like a treasure. If I were a teenager nowadays, I would try to find something as creative as this album. They had so much to say in their songs."

    Also, good to see, that Zola Jesus will appear on the album, even if she will appear in the intro song.

    Kyoto-based electronic musician Rei Harakami has died at age 40. According to music website Natalie, he died of a brain hemorrhage yesterday.

    Harakami made his debut in 1997, releasing a self-titled EP on Sublime Records. The following year they released Harakami’s Unrest, his first full-length album. He released seven albums over his career, along with several EPs and various remixes. Harakami performed at Fuji Rock Festival, Rising Sun Rock Festival and Sonar Sound Tokyo during his career. He was scheduled to play this year’s Summer Sonic with Akiko Yano, who he had been collaborating with as Yanokami for several years.

    Sad. I wouldn't consider myself a true fan of his music, but I really enjoyed his album 'Red Curb'. Rest in peace.

    Discuss.

    And please, stay on topic, and keep up a normal discussion. I know that nearly every Dir en Grey topic gets shitloads of drama, but let's try and make this topic an exception, okay? If somebody does not like the album, it's his/her opinion, no need for trolling him/her, and so on. Thanks.

    Also, I'm currently downloading the album, I will write down my thoughts after a few listens.

    ^I'm not sure but I think she's referring to the Facebook page and not the thread.

    I agree about that.

    Also, Isshi's last blog entry was translated:

    Isshi's last blog

    Day by day, time’s axes keeps proceeding out of synch…

    I wonder if it is going to feel like this for a while.

    Today we met on-site.

    Things like food, sounds, also photo shoots. (lol)

    I think we decided things in great detail.

    Of course, when the actual day arrives, I’ll properly tell you about the other members as well, so please wait for the announcement!!

    Well then, even today has gone by for the most part.

    Brace up everybody and let’s keep living!!

    No Czechoslovakia or Blackout makes me a little sad, but they threw 1970 in there so it's OK. Glad to hear you had a good time! :D

    Yes, I also missed Blackout (and Woman On The Screen, and so on), but that closing with 'Aileron' made me forget about it. There were a small crowd (about 70 people), but damn, you could see all of them headbanging and bowing to that song. It was a real killer, like a kraken, that pulls you down to the deepest places of the ocean, simply HEAVY. And yeah, it was awesome, I still have a pain in my neck from headbanging so much.

    Setlist at Hungary:

    Riot Sugar

    8

    Statement

    Attention Please

    Party Boy

    Flare

    Spoon

    Missing Pieces

    Window Shopping

    1970

    Pink

    Aileron

    First of all, Aileron was a real monster, they took that song to a whole new level, it was nearly a Neurosis-like monster song. I still can't believe how hard and heavy that song was, a real killer. It was a good thing, that they give a taste of nearly every aspect of their music from the Sunn O))) like slow doom-drone-feedback riffing to the quick, punkish hard rock songs. I was a bit afraid how the new songs will sound, but I must tell, that they sound a lot better at live. Flare was godly, totally one of the best moments of the concert, loved that riffs! But all of the songs sounded much better compared to the CD version. Michio Kurihara also played with the band, and god, his short jamming (If I'm right, at the end of Window Shopping) was seriously awesome - and he signed my ticket, haha! The band wasn't too communicative on stage, but before the concert, they had a coffee, and you could go to them, talk with them and have your ticket signed, they were very nice - and Atsou wore a Converge T-shirt! He was also great on stage, he was so energetic and crazy, not only drumming but hitting a gong, that hes was kinda the star of the show. They sounded mostly okay, only their singing could have been more louder, because except their more laid-back songs (for example Party Boy), you couldn't really hear them singing. It was a good thing, that the show consisted of 'blocks' (that's why there are gaps in the tracklist), because this way, they didn't slow down with a slower songs between two fast songs - especially the way they jumped from 'Missing Pieces' to 'Window Shopping' was awesome, great psychidelic soundscapes. An of course, Wata was like a rock'n'roll queen. ;3

    I can only encourage everybody to go and check them out on this tour; maybe the tracklist isn't the best (I could imagine a better tracklist, yes, and it's a shame that they didn't played Blackout), but they are an absolutely great band on stage, and at live, they take the songs to a whole new level. Great great great.

    Oh, about the merch. As far as I can remember, they brought CDs (they costed 15 euro), DVDs (Live In Japan, for example, I think they were 15 euro too), badanas (it was around 5 euro with an Attention Please promo pic on it), many T-shirts (25 euro), bag (6 euro) with a Heavy Rocks cover on it - and they also brought some Saade merch with them.

    I assume that u like LOUNDNESS which is one of my fav jap metal bands. Sadly, u don't understand what music really is. Pop is one kind of music genre as well, and I love it. So go to ya bathroom and sh*t 5 times instead of saying "5 shit singles in one row"

    I already told Ryu to moderate him/herself so there's no need to carry on this thing, especially not in this style. Stop this, thanks.
