The glory of Dir En Grey has always been how they manage to pull beautiful melodies through the most astonishing and brutal of metal hazes. DUM SPIRO SPERO features no dearth of those enchanted minutes, from the delicate moments of “Lotus” to the punitive crush of “Hageshisa To, Kono Mune No Naka De Karamitsuita Shakunetsu No Yami.”
Dir En Grey has always been a band of action, whether through their unyielding sonic assault or through what they stand for off-stage. It follows, then, that DUM SPIRO SPERO is an album of action, one that expresses their hopes and fears for their country and for the world at large as our grip on sanity ever loosens.
