DIR EN GREY: New Single To Premiere On BBC Radio 1's 'Rock Show'

January 24, 2011

A brand new song from Japanese rock band DIR EN GREY's upcoming EP, "Lotus", will premiere on BBC Radio 1's "Rock Show with Daniel P. Carter" this Tuesday.

14 months after the release of "Hageshisa To, Kono Mune No Naka De Karamitsuita Shakunetsu No Yami", also a track on the "Saw 3D" soundtrack and DVD, DIR EN GREY is back with a new single called "Lotus". The title track stands out with its heavy chords and vocals that are unreserved in presence making it a beautiful yet intense number. Defying the stereotypical definition of melodic, the song leaves a new type of impression with a sound that is unlike something from before that would remind you of a new process of evolution. This track brings a sense of an unrelenting self-depiction together with an expanding personification of the band.

DIR EN GREY joined forces with mix engineer Jason Suecof (TRIVIUM, ALL THAT REMAINS, DEVILDRIVER) and Tue Madsen (AUGUST BURNS RED, SUICIDE SILENCE, THE HAUNTED) on this track. The single was mastered by Alan Douches at West West Side Music (SEPULTURA, SUFFOCATION, UNEARTH) in New Windsor, New York.

"Lotus" will be released via iTunes on January 26.

"Lotus" track listing:

01. Lotus
02. Obscure
03. Reiketsu Nariseba (live)
