The ever eccentric Kyo in particular, is one helluva gifted singer he has always had a knack for soaring and heart-wrenching vocal hooks, which he shows off with great ease and artistic pride as usual on this new record, and they are such that a melody-loving metalhead cannot help but wonder why there can’t be more Western metal vocalists taking a leaf out of his book. If there’s one thing you gotta love about modern Japanese musicians - whether they play pop, rock or metal - it has got to be their iconic brand of clean singing. Being the eighth full-length studio album in the band’s illustrious career thus far, Dum Spiro Spero (which is Latin for “While I breathe, I hope”) is yet another scintillating record to add to the quintet’s already impressive and extremely collectible portfolio.
Experimental metallers Dir En Grey are Japan’s very own Into Eternity - their music is eclectic and hard to classify into any one sub-genre - except that they have the added fangirl-ish oomph of flashy appearances, thanks to their visual-kei roots.
