General DIR EN GREY new album and DVD release

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

I was actually going to ask if anyone knows if this one will be released in America just like the last 4. I'd love to get myself a hard copy of it to add to my Deg collection.

[Peace Heavy mk II 7200]

are they guniw tools now

[Zeus 7997]

Those are some very Kyo titles.

[Seimeisen 4406]

Wow! 16 tracks. And I was kind of curious if 輪郭 would have made it to the album. I have a playlist where that song is at the end of THE UNRAVELING (...THE FINAL → 霧と繭 → MACABRE → 輪郭), so it'll feel a bit strange hearing it in the middle of an album, as opposed to the end.

 

No caps!

your turn, gazetto

Hmmm... yeah I don't see RUKI un-hitting the caps lock button anytime soon.

But still, it's kinda cool haha. There's not even any WeIRd cAPs oR AnyTHING...

tefu tefu [2]

massive eye-rolling over that tracklist tbh, but I like how much stuff they've recorded for the album

 

Hmmm... yeah I don't see RUKI un-hitting the caps lock button anytime soon.

UNSLAM THE capslock

[Wonrei 108]

With the exception of "tefu tefu" and "revelation of mankind" those are some pretty nice titles

 

too bad it may all sound like StU

 

weird how the instrumental track comes on the bonus CD instead of the actual CD... why

[Wicked Teletubby 528]

*new album hype*

so no intro and longer tracks this time. makes me think of Kisou somehow.

Who knows, maybe they'll pull a Sukekiyo and put the intro as the second track. I still think it sounds weird.

 

Even though I know you're referring to just the track list, more Kisou would be

[Wicked Teletubby 528]

I want that instrumental intro they used live and on GHOUL DVD. sounds awesome.

[ghost 2687]

That is a nice intro.

 

Ghoul Intro

 

For anyone who hasn't heard.

I could only find a short live clip from their US tour last year.

A studio version of that (i.e: no crowd noise) would sound pretty cool!

[Elazmus 1873]

The tracklist is interesting me.. track names do remind me a bit of Sukekiyo's.

 

Ohh that GHOUL intro.. I want to go back in time to that show

Maybe that's And Zero? who knows...?

 

Kinda reminds me of how they didn't actually release a studio version of their old intro song

[ghost 2687]

Do you mean the one they used for shows like Code of Vulgar[ism]?

If so, they did release a studio version of that on their "saku" single.

It's called "G.D.S."

[Wicked Teletubby 528]

I believe he's referring to European intro that has been used back in 2005. at Rock Am Ring for example.

that intro never made into any release.

[ghost 2687]

Goooot it ?.

Don't think I ever heard it.

[Wicked Teletubby 528]

this one

 

[Bear 1817]

16 songs? Oh dear. To be honest I hope some of those are just interludes or just some very short tacks. Not too keen on a super long album.

[ghost 2687]

My gosh.

When Kaoru's hair was a decent length.

Cool, thanks for sharing. (Man I miss old Obscure live)

[Evilas 19]

Oh my, oh my, 16 tracks. Wonder if they made any 9+ min song(s).

[Jigsaw9 6783]

Track titles look as neat as always, hopefully the content will match up to them... (not getting my hopes up after those boring single tracks)

What's wrong with tefu tefu though? It's a legit, old Japanese word which means "Butterfly"? (Even Plastic Tree had a song with same title...)

 

Other than that, I am curious as always.

 

Edit: I think the album will be more Kisou-based song order-wise tbqh (some titles sound so...SE-ish to me? Idk) BY THE WAY - do I see some other titles in old Japanese too? Kanji experts, hullo?

I believe 「濤声」 loosely translates to "the sound of the waves". I'm hardly a kanji expert though, so don't take my word for it.

[Furik 832]

I'm getting a Kisou vibe from this. I hope I'm right. With how immortalis and StU turned out, I'm hoping to god they've left their Uroboros/DSS sound behind.
