Dir En Grey; Album DUM SPIRO SPERO; Licensed to YouTube by direngreyweb, WMG (on behalf of FIREWALL DIV.); Sony ATV Publishing, and 1 Music Rights Societies. Dir en grey - DIABOLOS Live. Dum Spiro Spero is an album where all the Dir en grey members try really hard to impress us on a musician level. As a fellow musician, I was thoroughly impressed with the entire album. Before Dum Spiro Spero (DSS), Kaoru and Die haven't done a guitar solo for a long time; but in DSS they both did a lot of unexpected stuff on the guitar, like.

This is the discography of Dir En Grey, a Japanese rockband. They have recorded ten original studio albums, three EPs and thirty singles in their twenty-two years together. Each of the band's releases has charted on Japan's Oricon charts.
Dir En Grey made their earliest releases as an independent band with Free-Will, eventually signing a temporary deal with Warner Music Japan. Dir En Grey's earliest releases were self-produced, however, they worked with a producer, X Japan drummer Yoshiki Hayashi, for a series of five singles preceding Gauze.
With the release of Macabre, Dir En Grey began to release cooperatively between Firewall Division, a subsidiary of Free-Will, and Sony Music Entertainment Japan. In 2005, Dir En Grey signed to the Europe label, Gan-Shin. The following year, they would release in the United States under Warcon Enterprises and Fontana Distribution, while being managed by Free-Will's American branch. On both foreign labels, the band's initial release was Withering to Death., and followed by The Marrow of a Bone. Their seventh album Uroboros is planned for both a European (Gan-Shin) and American release (The End Records).
Dir En Grey have made only one release on their independent label, Free-Will, since the major label debut; they released their music video compilation, Average Psycho through the independent label due to graphic content, not allowed by Sony.
