Dir En Grey - Rinkaku Single Update

"This staggering track that could purify even the deepest of resentments is finally here."

Dir En Grey has released information on their coming single "Rinkaku":

"The track is unlike anything you have heard before, almost overturning the band's musical concept on a new scale, coming in with a range full of depth with Kyo's vocals that evoke classical elements in this beautiful and intricate melodic track which builds up dramatically with the intertwining guitars and bass.

The new single from DIR EN GREY will be released with two tracks which will include a new rendition of "Kiri to Mayu" previously released on the album 'MISSA' (25.07.1997) and a remix of "RINKAKU" by famed sound designer of horror game series 'Silent Hill,' Akira Yamaoka. Once again Tue Madsen came on as the Mix Engineer for this release after lending his unrivaled expertise on 'DUM SPIRO SPERO.'"

There will be 3 versions of the single released. The first being the original CD version, which only consists of the CD with 3 tracks. The second Initial Limited Version having the CD and a DVD with scenes from the recording of 'Rinkaku'. The 'Limited order-only Deluxe Version' comes with 2 discs: the single CD, and a  DVD of the 2011 tour AGE QUOD AGIS with the Rinkaku recording scenes.

'Rinkaku' is set to release in stores on December 19, 2012. Whether this is internationally or only a Japan release has yet to be clarified.
