DIR EN GREY: New Album Cover Artwork, Track Listing Revealed

Japanese rockers DIR EN GREY will release their eighth studio album, "Dum Spiro Spero", two years and ten months after "Uroboros", which garnered overwhelming support as the strongest and the maddest record resonating across the globe.


In our time when heavy rock music has become diversified, DIR EN GREY's deep and extensive, unique perspective is once again borderless, uncategorized. This record which encapsulates the band's present will not only secure tremendous support from the hardcore devotees, but will surely gain recognition from heavy rock fans, including guitar enthusiasts and Western-music-obsessed music fans.

There are 14 tracks, including "Hageshisa To, Kono Mune No Naka De Karamitsuita Shakunetsu No Yami" (featured on "Saw 3D" soundtrack), "Lotus", "Different Sense" as single-cut tracks in this album.

With the combination of world-noted engineers and the individuality of a Japanese-born and -bred band, this album will no doubt be the determining punch for DIR EN GREY.


DIR EN GREY will release "Dum Spiro Spero" as a standard CD, a double LP (both featuring the same 14 tracks) and a deluxe CD which will feature the two bonus tracks. Also available will be the limited edition bundle, which features:

* The deluxe version of the CD (with the two bonus tracks)
