DIR EN GREY is a Japanese metal band formed in Osaka, Japan in 1997 from the disbanded visual kei band La:Sadie’s, that have maintained a consistent lineup of 京 (Kyo) on vocals, 薫 (Kaoru) and Die on guitar, Toshiya on bass and Shinya on drums. Originally a visual kei band, the band has dropped that style since around 2005 when they released
ReplyDeletetheir fifth full-length album, Withering to death.. Their musical style is difficult to determine;
throughout their releases, they have played styles
ranging from pop to death metal. Today, their style can be considered generally a version of metal or, more specifically, progressive metal/alternative metal. Their fifth full-length album, Withering to death., was the band’s first to see distribution outside of Japan.
It was released in Europe by GAN-SHIN and the
United States by Warcon Enterprises. The band has
been signed to FIREWALL DIV., a subdivision of Free-
Will under Sony Music, for its entire career so far.
They’re currently signed to Okami Records for European distribution and The End for United States distribution. DIR EN GREY, in its earliest form, began as the band
of vocalist 京 and drummer Shinya - 廃人黒薔薇族 (haijin kuro bara zoku “Invalid Black Rose Family”).
Members and associates of this band formed La:Sadie’s, which eventually included four of the band’s five current members. La:Sadie’s disbanded in 1996. All but the bassist, Kisaki, and former lead
guitarist, Shio (replaced by Kaoru), came back
together to form Dir en grey.
