Angelo will release their new single "SCARE" at 2014/10/08 http://angeloweb.jp/

Guess this was "inspired" by DEATHGAZE's "SILENCE / THE END" cover.

Is this their answer to THE UNRAVELING?

In most cases, I use the iTunes Store (they have high quality artworks in 600×600 resolution, which is more than enough for me). If you register an account there, you can download any cover by clicking on a song you have and selecting "Get Album Artwork". However, it won't actually save it - when you remove the file from the player, the artwork will be gone. To prevent this, after selecting "Get Album Artwork", do the following: Get Info -> Artwork -> Copy -> open any image editor (IrfanView, for example) -> paste -> save it as .PNG -> Get Info -> Artwork -> Add. This way the image will remain within the file until you manually remove it. Another source I can recommend is the last.fm gallery. Since everyone is free to upload cover arts, it's a good way too find the best quality available. Just go to an album, click on the cover, then select the one with the most positive votes. To view the full size image, go to http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/X.png (X = the serial number of the image). Here is an example: http://www.last.fm/music/DIR+EN+GREY/UROBOROS http://www.last.fm/music/DIR+EN+GREY/UROBOROS/+images http://www.last.fm/music/DIR+EN+GREY/UROBOROS/+images/67738798 http://userserve-ak.last.fm/serve/_/67738798.png

I'm not an expert on this issue, but I heard King Records usually tends to upload PVs with very low quality audios to prevent piracy or whatever. People were complaining a lot when lynch. released their INFERIORITY COMPLEX PV, and now I don't hear anyone complaining much about the sound quality of that album. Anyway, it's a nice and catchy song, really liked it!

This tracklist reminds me of that particular 12012 album (even though it had some Japanese titles). Now I have some ideas why they dropped LIGHTNING and BALLAD... Btw, the cover art is also available: I think it's not their best (the text in the middle kinda ruins it), but I like how coherent they are with these animal artworks.

It's so strange to see another band doing the exact same mistake 12012 did two years ago. They must be stupid for not learning anything from that.

A better title would be TO DISBAND OR NOT TO DISBAND Anyway, looking forward to this release. I think their last 2 singles were kinda cheap, but I still enjoyed Rewrite for some strange reasons.

The title is too similar to SHADOWS, but that's my favorite lynch. album so idk (wonder if the PV song is called GALLOWZ).

Will they ever release another full album?

I agree, but it's not so different from a song like SORROW. It can be seen as a fresh thing since they rarely release ballads (while they keep repeating the BLOOD/abyss formula for many years now), but it's nothing new, actually. It's just not the "standard DEATHGAZE song". On the other hand, I have to say I really liked it. Their ballads always do it for me, no matter what. And when I stop thinking about how they "stopped evolving" and how their songs are similar to each other, I end up enjoying most of their works. Of course I'd prefer some new ideas, but there's nothing I can do about it... so I just try to enjoy what they give to us.

I might be completely wrong, but I always linked the title to this 2-year-old letter: https://www.facebook.com/notes/dir-en-grey-official/an-open-letter-from-dir-en-grey/251636024864866 Guess it could be about how governments in the world are hiding important imformations from the "common people".
