Welcome to the latest band feature in here. I 'd like to introduce a very fascinating japanese band with a pretty unique sound to you ... Dir en grey.
Formed in 1997 with the sole purpose to spread the feeling of hurt and and sorrow caused by weakness, shallowness, and the egoism of humanity. Since then, their grotesque ways, their warped affection, and their crazy live shows took the independant record scene by a storm, putting them on the very top.
In 1999, their fame caught the attention of then CEO of East West Japan. Thus signing them to a major record label. They debuted releasing three singles at once, very rare for a newcomer. Of course, all three songs hit the top10 on the charts. After that, all their releases would hit the top 10 on the charts providing that more and more people were sympathizing with their lyrics.
When they first formed, their expressions of pain came from struggling and writhing, hiding inside the feelings of hurt and suffering. But as time passed, their pain became a cry, also a message.
Dir en grey are among the Japanese musicians who have enjoyed notable success in Europe and North America. Billboard writes, that the group "has transcended the language barrier in the United States through its music [...] gained its audience without singing in English". The band has charted twice on Billboard's charts in the United States and played several festivals in europe.
