UNDYING [w/ DVD, Limited Edition]

Wow. Just blown away by this single. Undying is a heavy, ear-bleeding track mixed with melodious parts so please, please listen several times to get the real feeling of the song. Ruki's vocals have expanded in range, or else he's just using his entire range in this song, and the effect is beautiful. Everyone is great artistically; guitars, bass, and Kai in particular is just shredding away at the drums. The video; you have to see for yourself. I won't spoil anything, just that it, like the song, weaves in portions of lyrics and pv's from the main album, Dogma. It's classy, surreal and stunning. There is a making-of portion also, in which the band members are seen taking part in the formation of the clip just as they did in Ugly. This video closes the circle on the message and world of Project Dark Age, in a poignant arc of storytelling. The concept behind this whole, massive undertaking by the GazettE and their creative team has been executed with precises attention to detail and it's paid off. Well done, and thank you :). I played this on my laptop in the USA (optical drive DVD Super-multi); just changed the setting to region 2 as all I play are GazettE and Dir en grey CD's. Through VLC media player it looks and sounds great. I'll review the second track, Mallum, on the regular edition as I bought that one too.
