DIR EN GREY To Release New Single In December
August 23, 2012, 12 years ago
Since the release of their eighth album Dum Spiro Spero, DIR EN GREY went into hiatus following a vigorous touring schedule in Japan and abroad, and now a year and a half since their last single release, they are back with 'Rinkaku' which will hit stores this December 19th.
According to a press release, "the track is unlike anything you have heard before, almost overturning the band's musical concept on a new scale, coming in with a range full of depth with Kyo's vocals that evoke classical elements in this beautiful and intricate melodic track which builds up dramatically with the intertwining guitars and bass. 'Rinkaku' mixed by an internationally acclaimed engineer has turned out to be an inimitable track with an intense sound."
'Rinkaku' will be released as a Limited Order-Only Deluxe Version, Initial Limited Version, and Original Version.
The Initial Limited Version will feature a bonus DVD featuring scenes from the recording of 'Rinkaku'.
The Limited Order-Only Deluxe Version features a bonus DVD featuring scenes from the recording of 'Rinkaku' and the band's November 11th, 2011 concert at Tokyo Dome City Hall.
