Dir En Grey Discuss NEW Album "Dum Spiro Spero"

Dir En Grey was formed in Osaka, Japan in 1997 and are considered one of the most successful bands to ever come from Japan. Originally a visual kei band, the band has always offered numerous stylistic changes throughout the years and have made the genre of their music difficult to determine. With the release of their eighth studio album titled "Dum Spiro Spero", the band's deep and extensive, unique perspective is once again borderless, uncategorized and proves once again that their musical evolution is not stopping anytime soon.

The themes from the new album also happen to directly coincide with the recent turmoil in their native Japan. Bassist Toshiya explains, "We live in a world where we don't know what is the truth and what we should believe in. We just wanted to put some hope into the music we created." Kaoru continues, "And, the title is what we can say to the world as the people of Japan." The title translates to the Latin phrase, "While I breathe, I hope."

We had the chance to interview guitarists Kaoru and Die (via an interpreter) about the bands career, as well as about their NEW album titled "Dum Spiro Spero". Check it out!
