I first saw them live in Japan in 2006 and knew absolutely nothing about them except they looked like some metal band in the advertising posters so I decided to go but I wasn't prepared for what they delivered at all. I thought it was gonna be your typical metal band but it absolutely wasn't. Truly amazing live show, one of the best for sure.
Never heard of this band before thanks for the introduction. I really liked your comments at the end and agree entirely. Metal is so diverse and I love it.
Yes, there are so many genres in rock and metal. And so many interesting and unique bands. I love it! Digging deep in the metal rabbithole is such a wonderful adventure 🤘❤️👍
I would always highly recommend to hear the songs with english subs, because their songs live from their lyrics literally. This athmosphere you can feel is even more haunting and immersive with the lyrics. The music and the tone and intensity of the expression of the voice: all is completely perfect presented for the lyrics. As good as every Dir En Grey song is translated with english subs on youtube. I recommend Kaya Channel for subbed songs. Their lyrics are amazing and let you deeply feel the band! They are also live much better than on album and a blast! They coming again to europe in spring 2024. I had the luck to saw them many times in Japan and Germany. Also they exist since 1997 and in same band member formation. They changed musically and visually drastically over the years, from their beginning in Visual kei, then going more metal/rock, then more western style ( they made a family values tour with Korn back then and the singer made a live collab with Apocalyptica) and then progressive metal to develop their own unique style. The singer improved drastically over the years and also the lyrics became more and more deep. He often expressing with figurative lyrics. In my opinion Arche is their best Album lyrically and musically. ( 2014). Actually they have 11 studio albums released until now. Thankyou for the great reaction. I listen to this band since 15 years and no other band made this strong, deep connection to me which captured my inner feelings and heart so much. I dont know where I would be without their music. I would recommend these subbed songs: Ware, Yami Tote ( Even if it is nothing but darkness) live from them: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-xwkDFJR0rck.html Embryo: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-wL2xeXmAy5Y.html Undecided: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-gcujhW4LR88.html These songs are all ballads. Of course they have more metal style songs. But the ballads are always so intense and pure out of the heart. The singer (Kyo) write most of the songs by his own, also the other band members. A not so ballady song is Keigaku no Yoku ( insatiable Desire): ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6poeml0SoZw.html They said about themselves that their music is not for everyone, but these who understand their music know the meaning strongly. They dont put themselves into a genre. It is the Dir En Grey genre. Some songs are personal songs from the singer, some are from other perspectives and all are more or less all questioning the human being, suffering, mistakes and sorrows and the question of life. I would be very very happy if you would react to these songs.
More DeG! 🖤 Since you are now familiar with their more complex and moody songs, I would recommend a ballad and something more usual for a metal scene (if ‘usual’ can even be applied to these guys) Namamekashiki ansoku tamerai ni hohoemi is my all-time favorite ballad by them. There is an awesome live version translated into English by Kaya. It’s deeply emotional and blue in a beautiful way As for the more simply structured songs, I absolutely love Repetition of hatred, also translated by Kaya. I think it’s a very fun one Thank you for the video!
В плане песен путешествий рекомендую diabolos. А вот с какого концерта слушать тут не подскажу потому что они разные и не могу выделить какую то лучшую версию этой песни.
This is the second version of this song. The first one released was more "songy" if that makes any sense. Lol give it a listen so you can see the differences
