Dir En Grey Announce New Album Phalaris For June 2022 Release

Japanese heavy metal band Dir En Grey has announced the release date for their new album Phalaris. The brand new record will be released on June 15 and will feature limited edition options for purchase which include exclusive new renditions and live recordings.  

Phalaris marks the band’s eleventh studio album thus far with their most recent being The Insulated World which was released in September 2018. The group gave fans a taste of what to expect with their earlier track “『朧』” 

Back in April 2013, the band released a mini-album entitled The Unraveling which featured seven tracks. In August 2011, the group released their record Dum Spiro Spero receiving praise from fans and critics alike. 

The limited edition version of the album will feature a recording of the band’s recent live performance at the Tokyo Garden Theater in May 2021. The show marked their first live performance in over a year due to the Covid-19 pandemic which had forced many artists to postpone and cancel their live concert and touring plans.
