relentless 254 Posted August 12, 2014 Can't wait to get a Hot Topic email about it!! Were their other US releases a long time after their domestic release? No. At most a week apart, though I remember Uroboros showing up on shelves on the same date as the Japanese release in Hot Topic. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Furik 832 Posted August 12, 2014 Yeah The End are decent about release dates and it wouldn't surprise me that they already have the rights to release their new album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted August 30, 2014 9000 yen --- looks like Spooky Kyo was just a test to see how wealthy their stans are. Aww @ kyo trying to be a leather daddy though. Whatever floats your boat, short stuff xoxo Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nullmoon 784 Posted August 30, 2014 Compared to the rest of the band Shinya looks old. So very old. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted August 30, 2014 compared to this tired looking band, Shinya looks aging-prone tbh Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DogManX 179 Posted August 30, 2014 Why VK? Because they're japanese and having some kind of styling here and there? Come on. And btw, I believe Kaoru's intend may have been a greek tunika... so much for that. And Shinya looks... different... without tons of bebè on his face.

greatest_dane 15 Posted August 30, 2014 You mean to tell me they have aged over the last 17+ years??? *GASP* Who gives a fuuuu about how old they look. My excitement meter for this album is off the charts. Despite enjoying DSS quite a bit, I always felt a *tinge* of disappointment with it, especially since it followed Uroboros (damn near perfect album imo). Stoked to see what Arche brings to the table.

Pretsy 1343 Posted August 30, 2014 ^ there are bands that looked better in their late 30s/early 40s (aka Dir's current age) (even without photoshop and make-up magic). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DogManX 179 Posted August 30, 2014 I think some of us mistook the hair shadows on Shinyas face for wrinkles. I agree though. Age or look shouldn't matter. Sadly this is an ex-VK band... so it DOES still matter. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonrei 108 Posted August 30, 2014 kaoru is just sporting some designer tee. nothing to see here, move on. die looks like some old lesbian tho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nisimaldar 153 Posted August 30, 2014 Come on Kaoru, you can't just roll out of bed and take a pic I think he's totally rocking it... if he went for a 'modern-day Jesus' kind of look. However, I have to say, since the remarkable moment of Toshiya shaving half his head a couple of years back, I'm totally digging his looks. Will there be any song previews or are there some already and I've just missed them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
platanity 99 Posted August 31, 2014 die looks like some old lesbian tho im just wondering why am i compelled to agree on this hah , i just sincerely hope they do not make something retro or anything remotely close to gauze . any materials that are extension to what they have been doing (ex: rinkaku, unraveling, sustain) , im good to go (and kyo looks nice here heh) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeus 7997 Posted September 1, 2014 They're thirsty for that money. No album artwork, tracklist, or previews yet but they have the preorders up. They must be really confident in this album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pretsy 1343 Posted September 1, 2014 They're thirsty for that money. No album artwork, tracklist, or previews yet but they have the preorders up. They must be really confident in this album. I find it odd that there's no "Arche-exclusive webpage" up yet (compare: Uroboros promotions which went like this: 1) News about the album 2) album cover (aka "Uroboros-exclusive page") 3) release info PLUS a number of tracks etc. 4) the actual tracklist 5) previews) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nekkichi 6043 Posted September 1, 2014 didn't they post a recent FB apology about album recording coming later than expected or something Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sebbivism 134 Posted September 2, 2014 I'm reliefed that they didn't do a 12000-yen edition for this album. The custom fee and shipping fee I got for those editions of UROBOROS and DSS were so expensive! Happy they finally included Blu-ray into their Limited Edition! I will definitely go for their 9000-yen Blu-spec+CD+BD edition! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhirlingBlack 1043 Posted September 2, 2014 I don't know if I mentioned this in the other thread for the tour, but the new songs are played on six string guitars. They didn't change guitars between Yokan and the new tracks. 2 Ada Suilen and Pretsy reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
