Dir en Grey is a Japanese band, but their following is multinational. The Osaka, Japan-born heavy metal group have made several changes to their sound and look over the years, but that hasn't stopped fans from consistently showing up to shows and album debuts. In late 2008, the group kicked off a North American tour to promote their latest album Uroboros.
