I totally disagree. thanks to ARCHE, I became interested in DEG. I also really liked TIW. I think this new album is going to go in the direction of the last one, judging by the previous singles.
Besides, I’m looking forward to The Insulated World final live. Too bad it looks like it’s not going to happen.

Well, to be fair, the only song that we haven’t got a live rendition of is Celebrate Empty Howls. Dunno if it’s a big loss.
… Well, also Followers (live audio only as Ochita’s b-side).
Plus, I’m kinda glad they didn’t play TIW Screams of Alienation. Those setlists were weird. Kinda have a feeling TIW doesn’t really work with other albums (hence the Insulated part, lol).

Or it can be a sequel to Oboro, with allusion to the Japanese domestic fucker family lyrics.
But what remakes, live tracks and wonky remixes is the limited edition super deluxe version going to have

Asking the REAL questions!
In a perfect world they’d just throw a Kisou Rebuild for the 20th anniversary, but that’s not going to happen. Assuming they stuck to the formula they did with TIW my guesses would look something like
Saku
Marmalade Chainsaw or audience KILLER LOOP
Then something like Repetition of Hatred or Grief

Guessing these will be bonus disc live tracks, then there’ll be some remakes:
T.D.F.F.
CLEVER SLEAZOID
The World of Mercy
possibly Oboro and/or Ochita.

Announcements of announcements are always ‘fun’. Early Summer is still six months away…
Now the waiting begins.
I quite like the model of bands dropping full albums as soon as they’re ready, complete with Order Now buttons.
Well, TIW was announced 3 months before the release, and many complained about it being rushed.
…On the other hand, I hated how we had to wait 9 months for Arche.
So yeah, half a year of waiting seems…eh, alright to me. Hopefully we’ll get some radio edits of a new song(s) a month before the release (or smth like that).
No doubt TIW was rushed, but that’s not because it was announced too soon, it was because they spent too little time on the writing process.
According to the website, PHALARIS is also complete. In this case, it seems they announced it right when it was sent to printing, so we have to wait for the factories and distribution services to do their thing.

Unfortunately this won’t be the case with DEG, any other band on their label or even (bigger) VK band.
Even when they announce an album which you can order right away, rest assured it’s the contract which defines the release date, not whether the band/album is ready or not
