DIR EN GREY ANNOUNCE NEW MINI ALBUM

This band just do not stop, do they? They'd already made my year with the announcements of 'Rinkaku' and their ESP signature guitars; I'm not complaining though, and with the announcement of their new mini album, my year is definitely completed. (At this rate they'll probably announce something on New Years Eve) :P


The new mini album will be called 'THE UNRAVELING' and promises to show the 'evolution/depth/genuineness of DIR EN GREY). When I read their description of the mini album, I instantly thought that this could mean either a sort-of-return to their old sound (like Withering to death) or a new sound taking ideas from their whole discography (which is probably more likely given that this is what the band is famous for). Regardless of the final outcome, this is very exciting news. 


It's quite a pricey album, with three different versions on offer: a limited deluxe version, a limited version and a normal version ranging from ￥7,350, ￥3,150, ￥2,625 respectively. I will probably buy the limited 
deluxe version, as it comes with two CDs and one DVD, so I'm guessing the extra CD will be either a live album or bonus tracks, which is always exciting. 

The album is out next year 2013/4/3
