Japan s visual kei veterans the GazettE return with their seventh full length album BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY. BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY captures the essence of what it means to be an outsider. Since their inception over a decade ago, the GazettE have found themselves being somewhat of an anomaly separated from regular bands and musicians. Their singles have continually ranked in the top ten in Japan, but their music is far too aggressive, dark and disturbing to be recognised as pop; their guitarmanship and sea of fans headbanging in unison at live shows is a spectacle to witness, but the band s androgynous demeanour and attention to art and aesthetics makes them an irregularity in the rock and metal worlds. The album title, combined with its unusual artwork, is a physical representation of a band that never compromise in the way of expression. The cover art is a further metaphor, envisaging a hybrid beast made from five distinct but very different creatures. the GazettE s creativity depends on the individuality of all five member of the band , explains vocalist RUKI. Our art is a distilled combination of audio and visual . JPU Records edition of the album will also marry the sound and vision of the GazettE. Its 24-page booklet embodies all 14-tracks with unique artwork depicting each song, while an additional booklet will be included excusive to the UK, Europe and Russia, containing translations of the lyrics into English and Romaji. BEAUTIFUL DEFORMITY will be released in 79 countries across the world, making it the GazettE s biggest release so far as their overseas fandom continues to swell. If you haven t already, it s time to tune in and celebrate the beauty of deformity.

Such an awesome album
Just like all the other The GazettE albums this one is amazing. I love all the tracks but have to say that Inside Beast is my favourite. If you are a fan of The GazettE then you have to buy this. Like the last album, it is so different and has a different style to the last one. I have not found an album from The GazettE that I don't like yet. Definitely recommended.

The more I listen to it, the better it gets!
The GazettE have done it again and produced an album full of different elements showing off the varied and wide skill and sounds they have developed over the years. Making it a great album for both new fans and the seasoned Sixth Gun out there.The album is a mixture of their classic sound and their heavier tracks, rocking out with an electric twist and gorgeous ballads. I'm not always a big fan of ballads but these ones took me by surprise.You can hear the development from their last album (DIVISION) which is present in the tracks with a more 'electric' sound (like Derangement) but they have got a lot of their older roots in here too which helps to pull it all together and make it theirs.The intricate layers of sound going throughout most (if not all) of the tracks is something to be admired.Every time I listen to the album I hear something new which I didn't notice before so this is definately one to hear a few times before you really make a cut throat decision about if you like it or not. I have definately come to love it a little more each time it runs through my speakers!

Old GazettE, New GazettE
The first time I listened to this album I was really let down. I didn't particularly like any of the songs. I quickly put it back on so I could listen to it again. It's amazing how just listening to the songs more than once changes your whole view on them!This album hosts songs that bring whole new sounds to the GazettE's repatoir while retaining enough of their originality.Give this album a listen and I'm sure you won't be disappointed. Great for old fans and new!

Bloody Brilliant!
I've adored this band for well over a year and I own three other albums by them, I own four in total. (This album making up as one of the four.)Just wow, this album does blow me away.Ruki's voice is purely magnificent, a mixture of high and low, and just down right awesome!Every song, I enjoy, I love every song this album offers.Not too much to say, but place an order for this album NOW! I recommend!
