DIR EN GREY announces new album MORTAL DOWNER & tour

Interesting read.

Sounds like the album is going to be one hour of The Devil In Me.

Also when was the last time they haven’t mentioned that their songwriting approach was to write things that are easy to play live? Is DSS going to be their eternal bugaboo?

Wasn’t TIW specifically made with lives in mind?
At least, i recall some interview where Kaoru mentioned that they decided not to polish songs like they did with DSS

So the “every other album” cycle may be striking again.

sounds like the latest iteration on dir en grey’s dark and complex worldview

It takes six or seven for form a Mob.

55:54? Just short of an hour.

oh lol I just bookmarked their album page today in anticipation of this, wouldn’t have expected the lengths to be added mere hours later, neat

turns out 6 or 7 would’ve been correct, I was just making a joke there lmao

but the total album length is totally wrong, isn’t it? strange…

The Devil in Me still has that long ass fade into silence at the end huh.

I’d be pissed if they ditched the fade. I love the fade

Finally we got the Length of the Album which is excited…An Album with an Intro for the first time since DSS (arche got an instrumental but wasn’t the into).

I can’t wait to take the full length of this album. Im ready, Papa Kaoru.

I imagine the hit markers to sound like the Stuck Man snare.

From what ive heard, decide, the other D song, and the other song they played last tour are apparently really good

No Schraudenfraude this time?
