Iiiinteresting~ xD

 

Wondering what this whole "GRIEVA" business is... like an alterego band or something? Hopefully we'll have more info soon. Anyway, looking forward to it!

[Shaolan974 6185]

It appears that グリーヴァ looks like Megaromania and GRIEVA looks like trashy Dir en grey.

Two previews has been shown at their dinner show '_'

[Yukami 5086]

It sounds very interesting! Secure purchases!

It's a shame there are not mini-album news (for the 2013, supposedly)


btw, died to see the new look!!! *o*

[Jigsaw9 6783]

^ I think the "mini album" became these singles, more or less. I mean in total it's like 9 songs or what, with the tracks from the 2 "bigger" singles and that one-track super-limited thingie in September (so that kinda equals a "single + mini album" track count).

[Ikna 1225]

*looking at their new look*
Okay, this could become very interesting! Maybe they will do something more original this time. Would be happy if one of their new songs of their coming releases doesn't sound like a Dir en grey rip off for once.

03.黒い涙 (Kuroi Namida) (Re:recording) [from グリーヴァ]

 

 

Aww, but their purposely using poor sound quality in the demo-cd version to sound more kvlt was cool :<

 

Interested to see what they have in store for this.

[ricchubunny 2013]

Are they trying to do that stuff which older bands do? Like MUCCxムック, ダウトxD=OUT...? I hope they aren't...

I wonder if GRIEVA will be the name they use when they actually try to write their own music and グリーヴァ when they're just copying old Dir en grey songs?

 

I think I'm just going to wait for this to leak all over YouTube before I decide to buy it. Their last single was just so boring, all it left me wanting to do was listen to the original and better songs they copied from than to just listen to their rehashed versions. I mean, I guess it was kinda cool to hear Myaku with the Bel Air chorus but then I rather just go listen to Bel Air and Myaku on their own.

 

Now if they tried to rehash some Madeth songs or something like that, that would be cool. Getting bored of all the Dir en grey...(I did really like Wish though).

BTW the release text says something like “グリーヴァ = successors of the good old days” and “GRIEVA = model of present-day evolution”. So basically katakana ver is the same old shtick of copying classic VK, while letter ver is copying current VK*, I'd assume

 

*I mean, “trying something new”, but who are we kidding?

@Arithmetica indeed

So basically they'll use GRIEVA when they copy today's VK bands? Looking forward to the Megaromania covers.

 

Seriously. I'm excited.

Love the picture. It's like watching any regular pics of bands like Due'le quartz, Madeth gray'll, etc with a new air.

[hyura 465]

Although I love grieva and I'm all pro alter ego bands:

Are they serious?

I mean. They already have a hard time writing original music for one concept, how do they want to handle two? Maybe finding their own style first before 'trying something new' would have been the better choice.

Hopefully I'm wrong and the single is great, though. Their new look is lovely.

[stylelover 1086]

well if GRIEVA wants to be new vk then they can just copy their own songs (from reload era.)

[digi 192]

that new look is lovely

i'm excited for more diru ripoffs ;<

[Trombe 22025]

their forthcoming new mini album (originally planned to be released in 2013 autumn) will be changed to full album "終焉(shuuen)", which will be released at 2014/02/26 and will be sold in advance at their one-man live "-終焉(shuuen)-MAD death." at 2014/02/23

...... ... interesting.

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Cool cover!

[Peace Heavy mk II 7200]

 

And a new promo picture.

[Pretsy 1343]

The BG place reminds me of setting used in Dir's "JESSICA" (that weird glass dome thing they played in) and "Taiyou no Ao" (read the former) PVs, except that it's all in black, gritty-like texture.

 

Kinda neat.

[Jigsaw9 6783]
