I have to say, the new EP is impressive as hell. Even after one listen, I feel like it’s easily a candidate for top 5 vk releases of the year (for me at least). Then again, it’s also been a shit year, lol. Still, this EP kicks ass. ---

Not only a new release is always put out around December, but it’s always 6 songs. The guys certainly follow some plan 🙂 ---

The first two songs are good but Scarlet Moon starts and the EP keeps hitting hard through to the end. Great EP, they’re improving with each release imo ---

> [@MorteSilenz](#): > > if Jin ends up having to make a new band will it eventually be a light themed band I mean… they might dress in white and all cutesy, but it’s their heaviest mini album so far, and I feel like the video plays around with the connotation of white as a funeral color in Japan. * * * lol @ castlevania intro in scarlet moon. I’m glad it’s a better release compared to the previous one which I only listened to once. ---

For me all of their releases were incredibly strong so far. I really like that they can create different coherent concept with each mini. The mini album format suits this band really well ---

Track 2’s intro sounds a lot like Paranoid Personality by D.I.D, anyone noticed that? ---

I really enjoyed this release, but I wished it to have a more easy melodic track, maybe a softer ballad, like the one with which they started their second mini (this track might be still my favourite Articlrear track). But as well I enjoyed that all this tracks had so much power, but the Jin projects are just too good in ballads to don’t have them. ---
