Icky but enjoyable Japanese doom metal video: Dir en grey
Here's a super trippy and disturbing music video from the Japanese band Dir en Grey. I guess they're somewhere between boy band and black metal? Contains robotic nudity, barf, some chick eating a baby's severed head, and chopped up ladylegs. Video Link. (Thanks, Susannah!)
Reader comment: Greg Lara says,
Dir en Grey are considered part of the genre called “Visual Kei” (Visual Syle). Dir en Grey received coverage in the US newspapers earlier this year because they sold out a concert tour with zero advance promotion/publicity.
