There is now a wee clip of the Murder Scope PV at their official site....


I know that I should be neutral when giving out news, especially because I am(trying to) promote them, but I am not getting paid for this, and most importantly, I make it a point to tell people that if I don't like something, I'll look them straight in the eye and tell them so. I can't look anyone in the eye here, because all we can see is the computer screen, but anyway....

I can't say I dislike the song, because I haven't heard the whole thing, but based on the clip, I disagree with the description they gave it when they first mentioned it at their site; they claim that it's reminiscent of heavy and death metal. Now, I listen to LOTS of death metal, and I couldn't hear it in the song. Arch Enemy is death metal.

Trivium used to be death metal(since around '06, they lean more towards heavy metal, but there are moments where in some songs, they revert back to death metal). Capharnaum is death metal. Death is death metal(obviously XD; by the way, Death is the original death metal band \m/(>_<)\m/). Children of Bodom is death metal, and Matenrou Opera says that it's one of their favorite Finnish bands, so they themselves should know what death metal is supposed to sound like.

It's a very small sample though, so hopefully, the song will be better, and most importantly make me understand why it is that they decided to say that it's supposed to be reminiscent of heavy and death metal. Other than that, the only reason why I am not cancelling my order is because, as few as they are, the DVD comes with clips of Dawn of Anomie in Akasaka Blitz, and I will only purchase the concert DVD when it comes out at the Cure shop, because I currently don't have a region free player, and nobody knows the unlock codes for the DVD players at my house, thus reducing purchasing the Dawn of Anomie DVD to pointlessness.
