DIR EN GREY Makes Fans Faint In New Single!

Rock-metal band DIR EN GREY has announced they will release a new single titled “Oboro” on April 28! This will be DIR EN GREY’s 33rd single overall, the newest single since the release of their digital single “Ochita Koto no Aru Sora” last year, and the latest physical release since “The world of mercy”, which released in September 2019. “Oboro” is a song that expresses the pain and emotions created by human weakness. The two other tracks have been revealed to be “T.D.F.F.” for the B-side coupling track and the third song will be a live version of “Keigaku no Yoku”.

“Oboro” will be released in several editions: a Limited Edition Deluxe with bonus Bluray, a Limited Edition Deluxe with bonus DVD, a Limited Edition with bonus DVD, and a CD-only standard edition. Both Limited Edition Deluxe contains 10 re-edited live tracks from their “Meguro Rokumeikan GIG” and a making-of for the title track, while the Limited Edition only contains 3 re-edited live tracks along with the making-of for “Oboro”.
