Dir en grey is one of the few Japanese rock bands that is now breaking into the international scene. The band, originally founded in 1997 after the band La:Sadie's, of which all but one of the band's members were a part of, disbanded. They released their first album entitled GAUZE in 1998. Though they remain popular in the Japanese goth / rock scene, their growing popularity in Europe and the United States has caused the band to begin making releases and tours outside of Asia.
