Content looks good so far. But why isn’t Testament here? :disappointed_relieved:

David will go on hiatus from live activity after their tour final on 9/17 due to Sui’s physical and mental disorders. He’s probably exhausted, between doing the Messiah tour (and having released an album prior) and working on Enishi. He did the same thing before Gothculture, but hadn’t complained of any ailments until now.

Tour final dates have also been announced for 9/16~17 at Ikebukuro Edge. A CD and memorial book for both events will be sold at the venue.

Sui made a lengthy statement about the hiatus. He talks about not being able to overcome certain hurdles and not being able to ideally reach his goals as an artist. He further states that he will stop live activities to find himself.

The song Messiah -新約- is a crime, the other titles sounds good so far. A bit generic though, even for David :cry:

Yeah,I agree!

Sounds like it’s just a faster-paced rock retake of the original Messiah xD I’ll have to listen to it when I get my copy.

I hate the tracklist.

I’m not wild about it either. I like the idea that there’s going to be a Gothic Unplugged disc and that the tracks will be re-recorded, but I’m not really excited about this in any particular way. I’ve also still not heard the New Testament Messiah song yet…

I ordered the Souyakuhen version of the album since I really wanted the acoustic CD. I’m not wild that Seishou is a cappella, though. Also, I find it weird that “Born” is on the album, but not Mother Earth or the New Testament version of Messiah, but live versions are available. And what is “The Falling Asleep of the Virgin”? Has he even released that one anywhere?

This man releases track lists so unusually…

I can not remember the source (release) for this, but the song is super boring, as much as Funeral Procession
