Yeah, DELUHI lived and died. An UNDIVIDE reunion, however...

Apologies, corrected the OP. I was just glancing at the news on their website and picked up the '5 versions' part.

It was announced at DIMLIM'S Oneman live 【THE SILENT SONG】at 高田馬場AREA that a FULL CONCEPT ALBUM will be released Summer of 2018 plus several more annoucements see image below
 

gazette are going to put out the best prog metal album of the 2010s
 
opeth are shaking

I think at this point we can just agree DOGMA is a divisive album. Just like most of gazette's recent albums. 

I thought the consensus was that OMINOUS was one of the best tracks in the album, hence the early release.

Aoi deserves to be the sole songwriter based on Yoin alone. 
 
List only goes as far as Division, but it’s onbvious Ruki’s hand was deep in everything after that. 

The real key here is to stop letting Ruki dominate the songwriting. 

i'd be quite happy with a dogma 2.0 tbh

They are touring right now, tour final is on 03/10, maybe we can expect an announcement of a new release at this date

It looks like the "Nu-Metal Apocalypse Revival" is in full swing on the VK scene... I mean, how many nu-metal VK bands rose to prominence in the last 5-6 years? DEZERT, Kuroyuri To Kage, DAMY, Piglow in Gloomy, Mamireta, Bless This Mess, Savage,  even NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST adopted some pretty strong influences. Funny thing is those bands' material is better than most of the drivel shoveled out by Western bands like Coal Chamber and some other third-string acts...
 
Anyways, enough off-topic! imo D.I.D. are the kings of brutal kei: Agressive but technical riffs, some of the harshest vocals in the scene and killer bass lines and drums
 
 
 

I loved DOGMA. # idgaf 

I never play that game fortunately and always enjoyed their new releases.

So is MH gonna play the "I hope the GazettE blows us away with an album thats entirely new" game again and then get mad/disappointed when its not?
 
:V

Me neither, but I really want to watch a video with some sort of meaning (especially on serious topics) rather than 4 minutes of band members playing their instruments in 2358735 different camera angles

Some of you may be familiar with more comedic tag "brutal kei" to describe "heavy" visual kei bands who often use vocals and instrumentals seemingly inspired by "heavy metal" genres and sometimes "extreme metal" genres as well. The origins of the term "brutal kei" was coined by "matsuya89" aka @VkBrutaliaN in 2009 and later popularized by myself in 2010 as more of a "troll". I was inspired by a video which has since been removed on youtube; however, a forum discussion on this video and listing the bands used in the video can be found here: http://rockbandfinder.com/top-9-most-brutal-visual-keij-rock-bands/ . (I later found out the video was made and uploaded by @VkBrutaliaN). But the serious origins of this trend in visual kei began with various "Nu metal" tendencies as early as the mid-90s with bands such as: Aliene Ma'riage, ∀NTI FEMINISM, and 妃阿甦(THE PIASS).
 
Today it has become a less prevalent niche but a handful of bands of this type always seem to emerge only to disband very shortly thereafter. Kept alive by a cult following of an obsessive fandom. Many bands of the current wave of this so called "brutal kei" genre incorporate elements of electronica and mostly stick to a blend of metalcore, deathcore, nu metal, and typical vk melodic rock. The vocalist will almost always use harsh vocal techniques such as: screams, pig squeals, and death growls. Some current examples include: Nocturnal Bloodlust, JILUKA, FIXER,  DIMLIM, DEXCORE, and many more.
 
Oh and @Takadanobabaalienmy apologies for not mentioning the legendary most br00tal vk band "Deviloof"!!!!!!
 
Are you a fan of this sound?

Until you open the cd case there can be a cd in it or it could be empty. 

I guess they had . . . no desire to continue. ;<

Indeed, their best song for sure, that's why I'm truly, truly surprised.

Finally on par with their music, tehe
