AHHHHH THE PRODUCTIONNNNNNN!!!

This is gonna be great. Calling it now: Cage is going to be a big departure from the original.

Also, is it just me, or does Kyo sound noticeably different on Yokan?

Holy fucking shit, this sounds awful.

They couldn’t afford the music box?

It sometimes feels like DEG has become everybody’s sleep paralysis demon around here and y’all just trying to cope :skull:

The samples sound fine to me… title track might be interesting, I like it, sounds a little less by the numbers than usual. Replacing the music box with spoopy nostargic guitar is actually a nice touch and fits a rerecording like this really well and as to Kyo’s voice on Yokan: it’s Kyo all right, sounds relaxed, maybe a little bored but most importantly not like he’s trying to project through the weight of the world crushing his throat.

I dig the previews, but I’m kinda easy to please. I think the quality was kind of ass, but that’s previews

I enjoyed what I heard. But why they chose to record inside a submarine deeeeeep in the ocean?

Gonna pretend It’s tower records fault.

When I listened to Yokan for the first time, I legit thought it was from a cover band… why does Kyo sound so… young? Polished? Dunno

I actually liked what I heard from cage. The effect at the beginning ist a nice touch and when the song starts it’s like they added an extra layer of music. Like it was a simpler tune before and they showed of a bit what they learned since they first recorded this song.

I also wondered about kyos voice in yokan but I think he also sounds a little less passionate than in the original.

But I am still glad I preordered this one. :innocent:

My thoughts exactly.

I think this will be a lot better than the TR samples sound.

Yokan and Cage can go kick fucking rocks.

THE DEVIL IN ME sounds SICK!!!

Lovin that Kaoru is rockin the Octave power chord more than usual and Die is carrying the rhythm with the riffage. Often times its the opposite.

I LIKE!!!

What is your take on the new teaser of the main song?
It makes me wonder what the fuck im listening to… I am sure the “chorus” that was in the PV teaser comes after that. At this point I am worried that this will be one of their weaker singles.

The cage preview, do not like.
Yokan sounds okay.

Also, what up with just remaking old songs recently? Make two new fucking b-side songs for your single like it used to be!! Are they lazy?

Track Previews (TOWER RECORDS):

derp, just check the link to TR in the thread. unique tokens for session.

I think they work for the time being but may not work after the tokens expire.
