DIR EN GREY will release its new album, "Uroboros", on November 12. The album will be released in three editions; a standard edition, a limited edition and a deluxe edition. The standard edition will be released as a single-disc CD album, while the limited edition will include a bonus disc. The deluxe edition, a significantly more expensive release, will include two CDs, one DVD and two LPs, and will be available for pre-ordering only until August 17.

"The album will be stuffed with themes of 'guilt and reincarnation' as well as 'the past, present and future of DIR EN GREY,'" guitarist Kaoru explained back in May. "This will be heavier and darker than previous albums, with a sort of oriental and religious mood and connotations. We're experimenting with different sounds — we'd like to introduce a multitude of different instruments on this album."

	No idea who "The Human Abstract" are, definately going to this for DeG, hopefully since they're headlinging this time they'll play more songs. Probably gunna leave before the other band even comes on, like I did last time when Diru played with Deftones (as did most of the people in the audience that night, lulz) Also, the whole "omg annie may myuzik" connotation srsly needs to die off. Just cuz they're from Japan you meat heads assume their stuff has something to do with Anime. C'mon... Do they sound BRIGHT and CHEERY to you? Their music just wouldn't be fit for it. They aren't some Utada Hikaru Kingdom Hearts lovey-dovey crap. And they haven't done the Visual Kei dress-up sht in years, yet you tards still crack at them and call them jap fggts. To you, they may suck, but to us they're the sht. Its our escape, atleast its better than 90% of the recycled Emo garbage we have here.
