About DIR EN GREY
Hometown
Osaka, Japan
Formed
February 1997
Genre
Metal
Dir en Grey is the first Japanese metal band to break through globally. Initially associated with visual kei, they were arguably the most successful non-English rock act in the 2000s after Rammstein. Gauze, their 1999 debut album, charted at home. Their major-label debut, Macabre, entered the country's Top Ten upon release in 2000. The band made their U.S. debut with 2007's acclaimed The Marrow of a Bone as their sound began leaning on influences from goth rock and death metal. 2015's Arche -- widely considered their masterpiece -- added vanguard and technical death metal to the mix. In 2018 the group revealed a more thrash-oriented sound with the controversial The Insulated World. Dir en Grey reappeared in 2022 with the decidedly more progressive Phalaris. In January 2024, they issued the three-track EP 19990120, which contained re-recordings of the band's first three singles, "Yurameki," "Zan," and "Akuro no Oka." A new single, "The Devil in Me," appeared later that year.
