Hello Everyone

I have made a Dir en grey community from Tumblr's new community feature. I am very new to this so I apologize if it's a little messy. I've never been in charge of a community before. If anyone wants to be a moderator, please message me. As for everyone else, here's the link to it: tumblr.com/join/1EpSyve0 Have fun 😊 P.S: I want to thank @yridenergyridenergy for letting me use one of their newest photos of the band as the banner for this community.

Today's entry is クリスマス改革 (Christmas Keigaku) - Christmas Reform by Mario paint P featuring Yuzuki Yukari.

It is an avant garde metal song. Warning! A couple people I showed this too got headaches when listening with headphones, including myself. It's a good song, but be cautious

In my dreams

I stare out in the distance of the city scene

From way up here it’s so serene

There’s nothing said

As I make myself more comfortable with the edge

I leap into the darkest night

Wind on my face, it satisfies

I never have felt so alive

And in my dreams I fly away.

Hey music loverz!

This is a more popular band (though I've not met anyone who listens to them), but I thought I'd recommend them anyway!

Genre: Experimental rock/Avant-Garde Metal (though it changes throughout)

This band was formed in Eureka, California in 1985! You may know the lead singer, Mike Patton, for his other bands. A few include Faith No More and Tomahawk (which I plan on going more into another time).

This band also is considered a pioneer of the genre 'Avant-Garde Metal'!

The band is known for being odd with the usage of unconventional song structures, instruments and dressing up in masks and costumes and influencing many bands (like Mushroomhead, Slipknot, SoaD etc).

They have 4 albums, but I'd recommend to start with either their Self Titled from 1991 or California (2001)!

I hope you like my rec! If you have any similar bands to recommend or more to say on this, you can repost or comment with your recommendation!

Well, that's the end of this post! Dw I'll make sure to post more,

See ya🖤

Agriculture - Agriculture Well here it is! The long awaited first release from the LA based black metal project Agriculture. Agriculture has been building up steam from pre-release reviews and commendations from metal blogs, critics, magazines, the whole lot. This album, at least in my circles, had a lot of hype. Even had a whole meme associated with the band: "I love the spiritual sound of ecstatic black metal by the band Agriculture" and it's pretty good! First off, a lot of black metal fans will shit on anything blackgaze-esc. Anything that even has the smallest whiff of Deafheaven or Liturgy is considered "Not Kvlt" or "poser shit" and frankly a lot of those people think that way because they're more invested in the aesthetic of music, how it makes them look to others, how it makes them feel, then they are about pushing forward the genre. Listening to the same four Norwegian black metal bands from the 90's isn't KVLT. Listening to endless repeats of the same tired BM tropes just reminds me of a Satanic version of Greta Van Fleet, and that is an ATROCIOUS thing to be similar to. Not too mention, all too often, these "TRUE BLACK METAL KVLT BANDS" are just Nazi Black Metal. From Burzum to Deathspell Omega. It's just Nazi shit. Agriculture on the other hand really dives deep into the blackgaze genre. Really pushing against what people expect when they turn on a black metal album. There is an interlude that is just a man singing over guitars. There are trumpet and jazz-esc sections. I mean there's still a shit ton of tremelo picking and high pitched screaming but it's black metal you know. There are definitely moments where it all works and it all felt so incredibly epic. Those emotional highs that I got listening to Liturgy or Deafheaven, but, at least on the first listen, I came away thinking "Yup. Kinda what I thought it would be." Not that that's a bad thing just, I wasn't blown away. The instrumentation was good, the singing was good, just... maybe it just didn't click for me. I'm excited to give it another listen and see if maybe I'll pick up on more nuances in a different context or mood. If so maybe I'll revisit my thoughts. But for now I think it's fine. If you really like this kinda music you'll absolutely love this, but for me, I'll probably just listen to some more liturgy.

I love DSO It's music for everyone. It's music for no one. It's a mix of every genre before it. There's nothing else out there like it. It's an insanely distinctive sound. It's a different thing every time. It's genre soup. I can't make it through an entire album. I can't get enough. Salsa interlude at the end of an operatic song about the horrors of war? Sure! Bolero metal? Why not? They sound like exactly what you think they do. You'll always be surprised. It's a sugar rush. It's electric. Why is there a trumpet?

Crestfallen Dusk - My Clouds Have Not a Silver Lining

Absolutely absurd avant-garde black metal infused with country. Not everything from this band lands for me, but this is one of their best and worth hearing once for the gimmick alone.
