Dir en Grey - Uroboros


Dir en Grey are back again. This heavy metal has become one of the most popular bands to come out of Japan. Dir en Grey has built up a allegiance of fans across America and Europe. The band's newest album "Uroboros" won't disappoint those fans. "Uroboros" shows the bands more experimental side. While the songs are as heavy as ever. The band uses a wider range of sounds such as the mandolin. Even the singer Kyo's vocals a little softer on this album. This isn't a problem. All the songs flow well together. I'm always happy when I see bands try different things and evolve there sound. I've never been a fan of artist that just keeping making the same the CD year after year. I feel as though the band is cheating themselves when they don't try new things. If your already a fan of Dir en Grey "Uroboros" is a must buy. If you've been interested in them and haven't listened to them yet I would suggest starting with album "Withering to Death."
