Welcome chiyo91! 🙂 You livened up this thread! :win:

I've been waiting for something new from Diru too. It's been forever! When are they coming out with a new cd? I need new songs! I've listened to all of their other ones so many times I can sing them all backwards. Still enjoying them though. :-) It would just be nice to hear some new songs.

In the studio with... DIR EN GREY

Kings of J-Rock take the impulsive approach for new album

Primed to launch a fresh assault on the rest of the world, Japanese metallic whackjobs Dir En Grey are in the midst of recording their seventh full-length album. The follow-up to 2007's widely acclaimed The Marrow of a Bone, the band's new opus is being recorded in Japan and produced by Yoshiki Hayashi, a founder member of X-Japan, one of the country's biggest rock bands. Hammer spoke to Dir En Grey guitarist Kaoru about whether the new album was going to be the one to break the band both in the UK and the United States.

"Absolutely!" says Kaoru. "But we are trying to create Japanese sounds that are not British or American. We thought about getting an international engineer or producer, but we decided not to. We thought that recording in Japan might be more suitable for our work this time. We've never worked with Yoshiki before, but he's like one of our forefathers. We call him 'Abarenbo Shogun ' which means he's a rowdy general."

As with their previous albums, the as-yet-untitled new one is likely to feature a dizzying array of disparate styles alongside Dir En Grey's trademark metal chops. As Kaoru explains, the band favour spontaneity over planning.

"I guess we well recognise the right direction for the songs as we progress," he states. "Whatever happens, the album will be stuffed with guilt and reincarnation, as well as the past, present and future of Dir En Grey."

Already huge in Japan, Dir En Grey look certain to build on their international reputation during 2008, as anyone who witnessed the scenes of hysteria when the band hit London last year will testify. As Kaoru explains, UK fans should prepare themselves for their imminent return.

"We will spend half of this year making an album and the rest touring," he says. "There's no specific plan right now, but we will be in the UK in the near future. Our shows in London last year were really amazing."

THE NEW DIR EN GREY ALBUM WILL BE RELEASED LATER THIS YEAR VIA GAN-SHIN RECORDS.

AAAAAAAAAAAH! NEW ALBUM + UK SHOWS = Amazing year!👍
 
Waaaah!!!! New cd!! 😎🕺 I can't wait! 😄

I guess all we had to do was ask about when they were going to make a new cd and the magical Diru fairies would swoop in and tell us.

Thank you Pyroyale on LJ(even though you don't know I'm thanking you)!
And thank you Revengebaby for posting this! 🙏
 
Ahh, I love you for posting this! Been a while since we heard anything about their new album, makes it more official. And their coming to the UK!! I can't wait! I got in to them right after they left last time, so I didn't get to see them..
 
Ahh, some wonderful person who we should all worship has finally ripped Weal or Woe for us! Go search it on youtube =D

God, his acapella... I LOVE it when he does that, its so beautiful and trance-like... And the crowd stayed quiet through it! I can never understand people who scream when he's doing that. I know its good to be enthusiastic and all between songs and during more lively ones, but not that.

Lol thats so wrong yet so right :D

I love IWOW! Especially the older songs on there, it feels weird to see them play those with their current image.
I caught a glimpse of my arm in it! :p

Did you guys see the hide memorial recording. They did really well. Haha Totchi f**ks up at the end, I love that man.
Kyo's new tattoos are love, especially the tiger. I want!
I wanted to see them play Miscast though, I wonder why they didn't broadcast that?
Listen to a bit of it here though:

New press release, sounds really exciting:

"DIR EN GREY Begins Work On New Album - May 7, 2008

Japanese rockers DIR EN GREY have begun work on their next album at the studio in the Sony Tokyo building. Pre-production started at the beginning of March, with the actual recording of the first few tracks currently in progress. The band then plans to return to pre-production to work on the remainder of the songs.

"The album will be stuffed with themes of 'guilt and reincarnation' as well as 'the past, present and future of DIR EN GREY,'" guitarist Kaoru explains in a press release. "This will be heavier and darker than previous albums, with a sort of oriental and religious mood and connotations. We're experimenting with different sounds — we'd like to introduce a multitude of different instruments on this album."

Produced by the band itself, the CD is planned for release later in 2008, but no date has yet been set.

In other news, DIR EN GREY has been nominated in the "Best International Band" category at Metal Hammer Golden Gods 2008. Past winners of this award include KILLSWITCH ENGAGE, AVENGED SEVENFOLD and THE USED."
