I decided that I was going to start with one of my most favorite bands ever: Dir en Grey. I love this BAND!! I first discovered them late 2006 and have been hooked ever since. They are a jrock/ Visual kei ( although they kind of stepped away from that)band.The members are Kyo (vocalist), Shinya(drum), Toshiya (bass), kaoru( guitar), and Die(guitar). I think the thing I love about them the most is how diversified, entertaining, and unique they are. They change their sound each album. Every album is very different. For example Vulgur has a heavier more metal-like sound while most of the songs on Gauze is somewhat "lighter" and "poppier" ( I'm not good with words:( ). Each year their sound changes. Right now their sound is more metal.
Although I have never been to a Dir en Grey concert, videos I have seen on Youtube and other places show that they know how rock a concert. From the headbanging to the fake vomit and blood to Kyo's self- mutiliation and wierd movements it is definitely something to see. Their videos and PVs are just as crazy and disgusting. If you don't know what I mean check go to youtube and type in "dir en grey obscure uncensored". Not for the faint of heart.
So overall I like Dir en Grey 10/10. If you want to check them out and see what they are all about before you start buying CDs,I recommend that you go to youtube.
