DIR EN GREY New Album "PHALARIS" Release

Jokes aside, I actually don’t think they can do that. They uploaded those ambient tracks under a different artist name, which I believe they did so that they wouldn’t have to pay the DEG bois.
So adding them to the album would be like adding a different artist’s songs to a DEG album.


NEW ALBUM 『The Insulated World』 2018.9.26 RELEASE
2018.06.29

one month and a few days later:

NEW ALBUM『The Insulated World』(2018.9.26 RELEASE): track list unveiled!
2018.08.02

three weeks later:

NEW ALBUM『The Insulated World』(2018.9.26 RELEASE): Artworks unveiled!
2018.08.23

So I guess for PHALARIS, we’ll get the tracklist around April 18 and the artwork around May 10?
Something like that, I guess.

dumb question maybe but who’s they? did someone other than Kyo/Kaoru/Toshiya/Shinya/Die upload those tracks?

Excellent news! Now, hopefully they actually include it on the Blu-ray.

Do you think the artists upload stuff on spotify themselves?^^
I mean the label, of course.

When do you think we will get some samples? Do you think they will release another lead single before it?

The last couple of albums we usually got the samples about a week or two in advance, so I guess early June is the most optimistic estimate (they’re still recording the album from what I’ve seen on Twitter).

A new music video might be possible, like last time with Ranunculus! Probably a few weeks before the album samples is my guess, if it does happen.

Apparently, Kaoru mentioned that he’s dissatisfied with how slow the album recording is progressing.
And that he wouldn’t be surprised if it gets postponed.

No surprises here if that actually happens.

I‘m making the bass recordings.

I bought some coffee for the staff to let them take a break.

There’s still a little bit more work left to do. Let’s do it.

If it sounds anything like the DSS vinyl mix, then absolutely yes.

Vinyl possibility? :eyes: I just hope it’s not locked behind a deluxe edition like DSS and Uroboros.

Even if it is, I’m gunning for a copy. Shipping fees have my firstborn paycheck please.

I only just realised that the album has been available to purchase. No idea how long for.

Ordered myself a Limited Edition + Blu Ray like the pre-order chump I am.

There are only a few things I’m happy to pre-order without seeing/hearing its contents. Dir en grey is one of those things.

Couldn’t give a monkey’s arse about vinyl records.
