DIR EN GREY will release their 8th studio album DUM SPIRO SPERO on August 2 via The End Records. DUM SPIRO SPERO is the follow up to UROBOROS , which garnered the band global critical acclaim and put them on the world s hard rock musical map. Dir En Grey have always been praised for their unique musical perspective, a rock leaning sound that proves itself once again to be borderless and uncategorizeable. A special edition digipak of the album that includes two bonus tracks as well as a double gatefold vinyl will be available in addition to the regular CD edition.
