Their debut singles was produced by Yoshiki from X-Japan.
At first music career,DIR EN GREY have make-up like other Visual-Kei musician.but they stooped their make-up.Why? The reason is they don't want to be decided what looking the band is ,we think.So now their looking is not typical style of Visual-Kei.
Sound style is affected by mixture rock ,modern heaviness and industrial.Vocal can sing growling,falsetto.Sound is deep,lyric is deep too.A theme of their world is about pain of life,like suicide,decadence,death.And vocal was doing self-injury and blooding on the stage.Now he is not doing it,but his staging is still stimulated very well.
After that they succeed in Japan and Asia,they went to go US,UK,and Euro.DIR EN GREY played at Budokan on 2 days(Budokan is the place the Beatles played in1966).And played many world Heavy Music Fes, at Download Festival in UK ,Wachen Open Air in German,Family Valued Tour in US.Vocal got the cover of Kerrang! magazine.
