  • Dir en grey é uma banda de J-rock (rock japonês) formada em 1997, após o fim da banda La:Sadie’s. KISAKI, o baixista da antiga banda, se separou de Kyo, Shinya, Kaoru e Die, que chamaram o baixista Toshiya para formar a então nova banda, Dir en grey.

A pronúncia correta seria algo como “dir an grei”, mas os japoneses pronunciam “diru an gurei”. Os fãs de línguas latinas usam abreviações como “DEG” ou “diru”.

  • thumb|300px|Dir en grey w 2009 Dir en grey (jap. ディル・アン・グレイ) – japoński zespół rockowy powstały 2 lutego 1997 roku w wyniku rozpadu grupy La:Sadie's. Podczas gdy skład grupy od początku pozostał niezmienny, liczne stylistyczne zmiany sprawiły, że ciężko określić gatunek granej przez nich muzyki (jednakże najczęściej podstawą jest rock). Pierwotnie byli częścią japońskiej sceny visual kei, jednak w ostatnich latach zdecydowali się zrezygnować ekscentrycznego ubioru. Nazwa zespołu składa się z trzech słów, każde wzięte z innego języka. "Dir" z niemieckiego, "en" z francuskiego oraz "grey" z angielskiego. Kaoru utrzymuje, iż "Dir en grey" znaczy "szara moneta". Innym tłumaczeniem tej nazwy może być: "tobie w szarości". Fani, mówiąc o grupie, zamiast pełnej nazwy używają często wyrażeń "DEG" oraz "Diru".
  • Dir En Grey (stylized as DIR EN GREY and previously as Dir en grey) is a group of entertainers founded by four Japanese ex-Clinjas who became disillusioned with the commercial nature of the Clinja way and broke off to perform their own original act, which included balloon art, traditional origami, and Christian rock.
  • Originally an alternative metal band, they were known for their dark, grotesque visuals and shocking stage antics, characteristics that would later influence other extreme visual kei acts.

Musically, the band's sound revolves around vocalist Kyo's wide vocal range (usually ranging from inhuman growling to melodic singing and high-pitched black metal shrieking), dynamic, low-tuned riffing by Kaoru and Die, and complex rhythms by Toshiya (on bass) and Shinya (on drums) Dir en grey have toured through Asia, South America, Europe, and the United States, with a large international fanbase. They are known to have toured with notable international acts such as Korn, Children of Bodom, and Slayer. The band is regarded as a significant act in the modern heavy metal scene, and one of the better-known visual kei metal bands among the general metal fanbase.
