Dir en grey
« on: August 23, 2010, 11:47:18 PM »
Let's get a thread going for these beasts. Just came back from their concert in Toronto, it was fucking amazing. Blew the first concert of theirs I saw (playing in the Family Values Tour). They stuck to mostly the heavy stuff, which is fine, but I don't think they played anything older than Vulgar, which is unfortunate. Most of my favorite songs come from GAUZE and Kisou, today's concert was mostly Uroboros and Marrow, with a couple off Withering and Obscure from Vulgar. I'll get the exact setlist when I can get my hands on it.

Anyway, appreciate!  :metal :metal

You definitely should. Now, which album you should start with entirely depends on what kind of music you're looking for...because if you listen to GAUZE it's gonna be a drastically different experience than Uroboros.

So has anyone checked out any albums other than Uroboros? I'm curious to hear what people think if they have.

Not yet! I'll get to it pretty soon though. What album do you recommend?

Also, is it me or the music video for "Obscure" is the most fucked-up, horrifying thing ever? I couldn't even watch it all the way through.

Heheh

Seeing the band get as big internationally as they did is so funny to me since when I was first introduced to them, they looked and sounded like this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NSZl6pWlWoQ&feature=related

Ahhhh... Visual Kei  ;D

Cage was one of the first songs I heard by them, and its still one of my favorites.

That's a difficult question  :lol
If you want something that is closer in sound to Uroboros, check out The Marrow of a Bone. If you want something that is rather different, check out GAUZE. That being said, my favorite is probably Kisou.

I love that video  :metal :metal

Their first album, GAUZE, has a video for almost every song, and some of them are pretty screwed up as well, particularly the ones for Cage and Raison D'etre.

You want a fucked up music video look up Ohrwurm by Cephilic Carnage.

There is a line when 'goriness' ceases to be horrifying and becomes ridiculously hilarious. This video nuked that line from orbit, then took a giant, intergalactic dump on its smoldering remains.

I saw them when Fair to Midland opened for them. They're okay, although I guess if I want to listen to j-rock, I'd go for Malice Mizer or X-Japan 1st.

Agreed.

Also, Kyo is one of my favorite singers in any band, just putting that out there. That man can do some insane things with his voice.

Kyo is a beast. Up there with Devin Townsend as one of the most diverse vocalists out there. Anyone who can go from Grindcore vocals to actual singing while sounding a) natural and b) good is awesome in my book.

Worse? Have you even seen Obscure (the uncut version)? "Come to Daddy" is somewhat unsettling but it's nothing comparing to the other.

Yeah, it's gory and weird, but that's all it really is to me.

Hey, look, a thread for me. A lovely sight to see :smiley:

Uroboros and Vulgar are two of my favorite albums. Absolutely insane vocalist.

You really should, but keep in mind most of it is very different from Uroboros.

Fans of Uroboros should like Withering To Death and Vulgar, not sure about anything earlier though.

I went to pick up Uroboros yesterday from BestBuy and I had been shopping for several other stuff that I didn't pay attention that I picked up the wrong album, after I opened the packaging I noticed it said Uroboros -With the Proof in the Name of Living...- At Nippon Budokan, so it's a live performance and not the album.
I listened to most of the album online though and it's pretty good.
