Pretsy 1343 Posted December 25, 2012 The title makes it sound like a generic deathcore record (pointing out their current style btw, see Ktm -2012 ver.- for more) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wonrei 108 Posted December 25, 2012 is it change time again? I mean, I was expecting anything but an ep Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Shaolan974 6185 Posted December 25, 2012 Unexpected yes. I'm very excited now. 7 new songs .... *0* Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rosà 37 Posted December 25, 2012 Totaly unexpected... First nothing for a very long time, then a single, new mini... I wouldn'y be suprised if they announce new full album soon. To be honest I'm not really excited. I like some of their stuff but recent works aren't as good as f.ex. Uroboros. I didn't like MOO too much and i didn't like Rinkaku either. If it will be something like this again I'll propably give up with DEG. They're important to me in some way and will ever be, but CD after CD i'm looking more and more down to them, not up, as I usual have been doing for a very long time.

sebbivism 134 Posted December 25, 2012 ...and now it seems that it most likely will be an European tour in June 2013, because they're confirmed to Nova Rock-festival in Austria! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wonrei 108 Posted December 26, 2012 Well, just realizing Tabula Rasa means Blank Slate... the new mini is called "The Unraveling" and there's all this talk about evolution and depth... I did like all the songs on Rinkaku, but I won't really find it bad if this is the six ugly change all over again Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Licio123 181 Posted December 26, 2012 WOW! Nice X-Mas gift, didn't really expect a Mini! I was pretty satisfied with Rinkaku, hope it keeps their good form. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LIDL 692 Posted December 26, 2012 Been awhile since their last EP LOL! Also, that title is so boring + basic now, after the oh-so-deep and religiously themed UROBOROS and MOO. Looking forward to it nevertheless! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bonsaijodelfisch 328 Posted December 26, 2012 Also, that title is so boring + basic now,after the oh-so-deep and religiously themed UROBOROS and MOO. yup, "Tabula Rasa"-Tour is cool though still very, very! exited for this, 7 songs seems like a good length to me...

ghost 2686 Posted December 26, 2012 So excite! So few bands make mini-albums this far in their career. Although, yeah I'm past the MOO phase now. I hope they try something new with this release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShanethVarosa 1209 Posted December 27, 2012 I love this idea, it really seems like they're stripping down their old sound and trying something totally new. It's so exciting! I really hope I end up loving it. I liked Rinkaku, but I would really like to hear a decent mix of powerful songs and toned-down ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
