yeah, new track still lacks grabbing power. and production is predictably poor.

I'm digging the new song. The production will remain a point of contention. They need someone like Tue Madsen or Jens Bogren who can do a modern and loud sound that's still pleasing, again.

Listened to it a few times and it’s okay. The chorus feels like it could have gone on a bit longer and added something.



The cage remake is pretty meh though.

Demon tries listening to a new DeG album but “couldn’t I just listen to Arche again?” challenge, level: impossible(?) hmm this has everything I want even if I do really enjoy (most) of what else I’ve heard

I donno if they'll ever top this era, even their other songs from this time sound peak live, like this rendition of Saku https://youtu.be/3iSkhVFFGeE

Kyo's vocals are next level.

uroboros-arche was peak, id even go as far as to say withering-arche is pretty incredible overall. the new stuff doesnt hit the same way, its good but it sounds a little 'bored' compared to this era which was lightning in a bottle for sure. funny that the era where they stripped down their visual aesthetic so much is also the most versatile and interesting musically

Fuck man, this is even better than the previous two albums, which I love very much. This band doesn't miss bros.

Seems about right. I’d have Withering lower and I’m missing a couple tho. This is my fave also.

This, DSS and Uro are incredible. I haven't spent nearly as much time with the rest of the discog. Need to change that ASAP m/
