Uroboros (LP) [Vinyl]
Formed in Japan in 1997, DIR EN GREY has conquered the Japanese rock scene with lyrics that convey sorrow, darkness and anger in modern society. The band has received international critical acclaim for their masterful translation of the lyrics to their dramatic stage show, which includes self-mutilation and bloodshed. They have toured extensively in the US, including a run with Deftones and an appearance on Korn s 2006 Family Values Tour.
Currently the band is preparing for the release of Uroboros, their seventh studio album, which will hit shelves on November 11th, 2008 in the US through THE END RECORDS and a day later in their native Japan (through Firewall). This marks the first time a DIR EN GREY album will be released worldwide in one massive coordinated strike, and the band will be touring extensively in North American with The Human Abstract in support of the album. Look for DIR EN GREY in a city near you this November!
