“Different Sense”, the new video from Japanese rockers DIR EN GREY, can be seen below. The song comes off the band’s eighth studio album, “Dum Spiro Spero” (translates to the Latin phrase “While I breathe, I hope”) which will be released on August 2 via The End Records. DIR EN GREY – vocalist Kyo, guitarists Kaoru and Die, bassist Toshiya and drummer Shinya – is inspired by sorrow, pain and anger either personally experienced or witnessed in others. The band strives to maintain this theme in their videos which further push the societal envelope.
The themes from the new video and album also happen to directly coincide with the recent turmoil in their native Japan. Toshiya explains, “We live in a world where we don’t know what is the truth and what we should believe in. We just wanted to put some hope into the music we created.” Kaoru adds, “And, the title is what we can say to the world as the people of Japan.” The title translates to the Latin phrase, “While I breathe, I hope.”
