SICK

[doombox 4421]

Their last release reinvigorated my interest in them so I am looking forward to this one.

[Chi 2624]

i thought ginga no oto was a pretty good first release as an independent A9 so i'm looking forward to this

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

I'm not as interested as I used to be in this band. I feel like A9 and Diawolf are both good, but harelipped reminders of what I used to love. In any case, Diawolf's new EP actually did inspire in me some love so I hope this does as well. I want to love them again.

[Licio123 181]

Good. Can't wait for it.

[Trombe 22025]

In case you want to hear the preview clip for ANIMUS. I haven't listened to it. I am gonna wait until Sunday, since I preordered the album. I'll get the full song then.

[ShanethVarosa 1209]

I LOVE it. To me, it's better than Ginga no Oto entirely. It's more Diawolf than I thought it would be but the funny thing is it's doing Diawolf better than Diawolf does.

[lollipopmonstar 346]

WTF, this is DIAWOLF |o|

I never liked A9, but OMG this preview sounds super awesome!

[Elazmus 1873]

Honestly it wouldn't make sense if the full A9 lineup couldn't do DIAWOLF better than DIAWOLF does haha. It sounds so nice though I can't wait for this!!

[-NOVA- 3027]

I love the ambient vibe its amazing
