Nothing wrong with Amon. Boring and unoriginal, sure. But that's about it. But I will never understand why they would even think about using a title like "The Blossoming Beelzebub". That's just...a huge WHAT!?

Edit: The artwork is extremely bad as well. What is this? Is it a concept brought up and then made by a 10 year old kid or what? :?

You missed my pun.

Also, I like how the last three letters of the title match up to spell "MOO". First thing I noticed actually.

I see it nao! Oh my God, how could I miss that? I guess I missed it because I was dancing and screaming out "THE BLOSSOMING BEELZEBUB" as loud as I can, feeling cool and smooth...due to the awesomeness of that title.

I kind of like the artwork, kind of wish the statue thing was a little bit closer though. Also I don't really like the font/position they used for the band name and title.

as for the track list, I have no comment except for I 2nd this!

calling it: THE BLOSSOMING BEELZEBUB is going to be the best song with the worst title

Henceforth this album shall be known as The Moo album. :staru:

I actually like the coverart somewhat. Not surprised at The Blossoming Beelzebub, there must always be at least one wtf name on there. If it were otherwise I would be worried.

i love the cover art, It looks mystical.

I like bamboo forest, they need to put King Cobra on it somewhere though,

to make it realistic :lol:

OTOH, some interesting song titles on the track list.

but think they can name it what they want,

all i care is how it will sounds now.

And with "Yokusou Ni DREAMBOX",

somehow it took my mind to Yokan lololo

tracks that caught my attention the most:

The Blossoming Beezlebub: Definitely picturing something that starts off soft and then gets heavier and heavier. Like vinushka perhaps but more BR00TAL?

Diablos: 'nuff said.

Decayed Crow: at first though of that Sadie track, and the title sort of feels out of place to me, but i would love to hear this!

Ruten no Tou: translates to "Tower of Vicissitudes", which yields some AMAZING imagery. And such a great word, Vicissitudes. lol

Good news for the european release! =D

Okami Records has also posted some comments about DUM SPIRO SPERO on Facebook.

- Tell us about the album title “DUM SPIRO SPERO??:

Kyo: It doesn’t matter how you interpret, or if you take the paradox meaning of the title. I’d like to leave the interpretation to those who read our lyrics and listen to the songs on this CD.

Toshiya: We live in a world where we don’t know what is the truth what we should believe in. I just wanted to put some hope into the music that we created.

Kaoru: And, the title is what we can say to the world as the people of Japan.

- “Hageshisa To, Kono Mune No Naka De Karamaitsuita Shakunetsu No Yami??, “LOTUS?? and “DIFFERENT SENSE?? are all singles released before the album. Can you please tell us where these songs stand in ‘DUM SPIRO SPERO’?

Kaoru: Those songs are definitely some of the highlights of the album, but they are actually the more catchy and easy-listening songs on this album. Can you even imagine what our other songs are like?

- What do you want this album to be to those who buy the record?

Kaoru: It can be their anything at all. We’ve put our all into this album, now it’s your turn to make something out of it.
