Random J-Rock Updates #6: Preorder Madness!!

September 30, 2008

This is a very special segment of J-Rock Updates.  Obviously, Dir en grey is the big news here but I didn’t want them to have the satisfaction of having their own post.  Luckily, there’s three more bands that will be releasing albums in the US in the near future.

-Dir en grey’s new album Uroboros will be released through The End Records on November 11 in America, a day before Japan.  In addition to the regular CD/vinyl/digital release, a deluxe CD version will be released with a bonus DVD.  All that can be preordered here.  More info including tracklisting is available on their blog.

-The Thursday/Envy split EP can now be preordered from Temporary Residence or MerchDirect.  The EP will be a combo CD-vinyl package.

-The CD and digital version of Polysics’ We Ate the Machine was released today.  It can be ordered at amazon and interpunk.

-The debut album known as Noble by Versailles -Philharmonic Quartet- will be released in the US by Maru Music.

Dir en grey- Dozing Green

September 14, 2007

DIR EN GREY will release a new single, ”DOZING GREEN” in Late October (worldwide release date TBA). DOZING GREEN will give fans a chance to hear a brand new track with a brand new sound for the band:

It took a long session of trial and error before DIR EN GREY came to the final version of DOZING GREEN. This track is definitely one that represents the new DIR EN GREY combined with elements that has never been in their music before.

The Marrow of a Bone

February 26, 2007

When I picked up my copy of Dir en grey’s new album last Tuesday I knew something wasn’t right…I couldn’t read half the lyrics! I think about 4-5 were actually visible under a light but the rest were barely even visible. Well, Warcon Records has acknowledged this flaw on myspace and directs you to the Warcon website to “get your hands on the proper booklet.” However it’s been a day since they posted it and there’s still nothing on the website about it which makes me wonder if they’re serious. In any case this album has had better distribution than “Withering to Death.” I found it quite easily at Best Buy and Borders and they still don’t have the prior album in stock.
