Pseudo-metal? Do you even know what genre girugamesh is? I can tell you that they're not pseudo-metal for sure

Didn't Daizystripper do a cover of a SID song for one of the Vkei tribute cover albums or one of the anime tribute albums?

Definitely agree with this but if FADELESS is even the smallest inclination towards the album, it sounds like they won't. Aside from the main riff, Uruha and Aoi both played their own respective melodies

Oh, this is going to be a badass single!

Special flake attitude? Listen, I'm not about to start anything here because I know just how futile it is and the repercussions that will follow, but are you seriously giving me attitude as well for simply stating an observational fact that I've learned from watching all the GazettE threads on the review thread since PLEDGE came out? You're giving me attitude for hoping that this album actually pleases MH users so that, for once, there's more positive than negative reviews?

9 days until the review thread blows up with The GazettE's album where the majority (90/10) will be either A) Calling the GazettE generic, Telling them to disband, or C) Saying they've lost faith in them for the millionth time. Ii'll probably be one of the few people to give a positive review on the album since I can tell it's going to be good already, it would be nice for a change in the review thread

it seems that girugamesh is finally in the good graces of the people here again. Drain is definitely an amazing song! I'm curious as to what's going to be on their best album and how far back will it go?

Yeah, but I do want to hear other people's reactions to the preview here. If the people of MH dislike it, then I will most likely love it. If they like it, I'll definitely love it haha

True, even if the song PV came out, I wouldn't check it out anyway. I'm tired of getting the previews or the PV before the release, spamming the crap out of the song waiting for the release, and then being done with the song or skipping it when the release comes around. This goes for all the bands

A lot of people say that Colors is the best of the bunch, I have to agree with that. I have their Alaska, The Great Misdirect, Colors, Paralax I&II albums and it is honestly non-stop thrill and enjoyment of music to me. Colors is so cohesive and well put together that the albums almost flows as an entire song, the Paralax albums have an even bigger synth involvement from Tommy and are so intense, and Alaska has to be the heaviest album yet.

Well the reason most things have been quiet for sometime was because of the World Tour. Now that it's over, we've been getting the rush of information like the release date, tracklist, song lengths, cover art, album spot. We have at least gotten previews a week or so before the release date for the album PVs so if we are going to get a preview, it'll be in the next 7 days

Looks the kind of covers for a ballad

Is it the song that defines their style or the song that basically propelled their careers as a band and made them even more popular? I'd have trouble with Alice Nine's. It feels like it would be Number Six but then again, Rainbows was pretty much the turning point for them

So, apparently, Tomo and K from BORN already have their hands on BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY. They think it's cool but that really doesn't tell us much other than the CD is done and the fact that they're ready means that the PV should be ready so we should be getting a preview or the full PV soon

The DVD will also include the music video for the band's “INSIDE BEAST”, which is said to be a video exposing the two faces of the band's members. The particulars of the project have yet to be released, but are surely a highly anticipated feature for fans. Taken from BARKS website.

Ahhhh, I've been on a metal/prog spree for a good month now but the ones that I'm really listening to right now is Between the Buried and Me, Protest the Hero and TesseracT Between the Buried and Me is a progressive (not really) metal band from North Carolina, US. They've released a total of 6 studio albums, an EP, and a Live CD/DVD of their album Colors. Most of their sound is your awesome metal sound that you expect to hear from a band that's was born at the turn of the century. Reason I'm really into them is because Tommy Rogers, the vocalist, has a freaking unique and amazing growl that I have never heard, his voice has like 5 different settings, and he can really hit some beautiful notes. Songs like Ants of the Sky from their Colors album are the reason I love them because of the beautiful mixture between some ambient guitar melodies, clean melodies, driving riffs, insanely fluid leads, and a varied, fast-tempo drumming that Blake Richardson provides. BTBAM are able to combine some beautiful melodic sections, heavy riffs, and even mix up the song by ending it with some crazy country hoedown sound xD(Check out Ants of the Sky 11:30). Unlike most bands, they don't aim for long songs, but nevertheless, they end up with long songs that are just perfect and never bore. In 2011, they released a part 1 EP titled Paralax I: Hypersleep Dialogue, an EP containing 3 songs, 8-11 min long each, and then a full 73 min. album a year later titled Paralax II: Future Sequence TesseracT is a very progressive UK metal band formed in 2007. Their credited to be the leading pioneers in the 'djent' movement. They've only released 2 albums in their lifetime, One and Altered State (The latter being one of the best albums I have heard this year). Daniel Tompkins, a highly-regarded vocalist with an insane amount of vocal control, was their singer from the start and helped record their One album but Daniel left the band in August 2011 for personal reasons. After a long search, they finally got Ashe O'Hara as their new singer the man with the voice of a thousand Angels (Not exaggerating here). Soon after Ashe joined, they began writing new material and released their second album, Altered State, on May 28, 2013. Altered State has to be the grooviest, most atmospheric metal album I have heard in ages and it is absolutely riveting. I love that they don't feel the need to include heavy vocals in their music and can still make some groovy metal. Protest The Hero, they've been together since the guys were pre-pubescent little runts. They've matured to become one of the most amazing technical metal bands out there. Even though they've been around since 2001, they've only released 3 studio albums: Kezia, Fortress (The best of the bunch), and Scurrilous(the more progressive of them all). Their drummer, who's been with them since the beginning, departed this year and has been replaced with a support drummer , Chris Adler (Lamb of God) who's given the band an ever more stronger and heavier metal sound. With Adler in their rains, the technical insane riffing of Luke Hoskin and Tim Miller, the groovy bass lines of Arif, and Rody Walkers amazing vocals (with the constant guest appearance of the beautiful and talented Jadea Kelly), Protest The Hero have announced the release of their 4th studio album, Volition, out October 29, 2013(they've already released two of their songs on YouTube). This album is surely going to blow away any album out this year and even all of their previous works (the guys are also complete goofballs)

I think maybe he meant how their album follows a certain concept of sound, rather than imagery. Toxic was conceptual in the sense of it was all about the electronic sound. I could be wrong but that's my take on what he said cause they really haven't had an album that's really conceptual like, say, Alice Nine's GEMINI

Aoi: The album has been produced to sound pretty close to how we sound live. That's one of the things we were conscious of while working on it. Uruha: This time, every member's individuality has been packed into the album. We used to only make conceptual albums, but this time it's more like back-to-basics this time. I think the albums brings out the good points of the band. Taken from MTV81 interview

I know. But thanks for reassuring me that information

Yeah, not much of a shocker. After they got the new vocalist and they lost their lead guitarist, things started getting shaky for them. Last good thing was Mou Nakanai...

Holy crap, a music thread is actually turning into a Digital art/photoshop discussion hahaha, this is awesome

Actually, the artworks for this album are better than the past two IMO. Idk if you're truly seeing it since you just called it an ugly wolf but it's actually an image of a morphed ram, wolf, eagle(?), and tiger head (Limited edition), and the regular edition is of the images of each animals head overlayed over one another. Probably the best cover they've done in a long time

Wow, haven't heard from them in over a year. Super Duper Galaxy is all I remember from their recent releases and Let Me Crazy i think.

It seems they really did change INCOMPLETE a little bit. Previews sound really promising especially the one after INCOMPLETE Monster ver. They are really wubby but I like them, hope for more soon This is the demos of MONSTER from the limited edition of INCOMPLETE
