Japanese alt-metal band Dir En Grey have released a stream of a new track entitled “空谷の跫音”, which comes from their upcoming ninth studio album Arche (out December 10th). The track is a slower, almost ballad-esque song, released with a video that features dark, stirring images. Check out the track below.
Arche is the followup to 2011’s Dum Spiro Spero, which I was a really big fan of. The band has a very unique sound and singer Kyo is probably one of the most versatile vocalists in music these days. I’d even go so far as to say that he is comparable to Mike Patton, although Patton loves using effects to turn his voice into something otherworldly.
