orange~ 387 Posted April 9, 2016 MARROW was actually the album that got me back to diru. I hadn't been listening them in years and just happened to see their album being sold in a store. I picked it up as it's really not that common to see vk or japanese music on sale here. Loved the album and I probably still rank it among my top favourites of diru. I feel like the gazette might have been aiming for something similar with their DOGMA 1 Jigsaw9 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmny 4139 Posted April 9, 2016 i still stan arche very hard, its just soooooooo fucking good. like i cant find issues with it as easily as dss/uroboros but i love those two a lot more but if there's any introduction to modern diru, its arche HANDS down. 1 LIDL reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Saishu 1589 Posted April 9, 2016 Arche is stellar. It's everything I've ever loved about DEG wrapped up in one album. In an alternate reality, Arche was the evolution of the band after Vulgar. 2 nullmoon and clow_eriol reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I wasn't a big metal fan back then, and its raw, unrelenting aggression confused and shocked me. I had to give it another couple of shots before the album clicked with me. 2 orange~ and Chikage reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

platy 3018 Posted April 11, 2016 Arche is the best DEG album imo, followed by DSS. The atmosphere of Arche as a whole, it's painful but every song is so beautifuly melodic, that makes it the top album for me. I know it's a lot more mellow compared to the other releases of the band, but I don't get why people seem to hate it so much. It's like the band went in a different direction while keeping their essence, I really appreciate that. 1 nullmoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nowhere Girl 189 Posted April 11, 2016 I don't think it's bad at all. It's definitely a nice break from the gloom that DEG spiralled into in the DSS era. There's a mix of darkness, beauty, complexity, and strangely, playfulness. We haven't had fun songs like Cause of Fickleness and Chain Repulsion for quite a while. 3 Chikage, evenor and nullmoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saishu 1589 Posted April 11, 2016 It's okay. I think Withering to Death is boring for the most part. Thank god it's DEG's shortest album. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yea that was my initial reaction at first as well. when I was just a small kid, I remember how even ZAN was too aggressive lol But MARROW grew on me and I actually got into western death metal, etc. afterwards as diru made my tolerance grow. I think I need to give ARCHE a new try seeing all these positive opinions. Didn't like it too much when it was first released... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emmny 4139 Posted April 12, 2016 "About the VULGAR tour in June. Kyo said they will play songs from the past, but not the same way as in the past, they will not simply try to relive the past. He also mentioned he’s very eager to play new songs. The work on new songs is going really well, but if they will play them in June depends on other DIR EN GREY members." http://kyotakumrau.tumblr.com/post/142608379207/20160410-gasou-talk-event mostly pertains to sukekiyo/kyo stuff but there's a bit in the end about diru's vulgar tour.
