 "This is an album in true Dir en Grey style, which paradoxically is realized in the absence of a defined musical style."

 The musicians play everything: Grind/Death, Progressive Metalcore, Tool/Meshuggah-style Metal.

Dir En Grey's eighth album Dum Spiro Spero delivers a powerful mix of metal styles—from grind to progressive metalcore. The band showcases impressive musical versatility and dynamic vocals by Kyo. While it may feel derivative to purists or less complex compared to some Western acts, it remains an engaging and accessible album for fans of hybrid metal sounds. Discover the eclectic sounds of Dir En Grey’s Dum Spiro Spero—listen now and experience a vibrant mix of metal genres!
