Dir En Grey to Return to North America for 2013 Tour

Our worlds will get a little more "grey" this fall, as Japanese metallers Dir En Grey will return to North American soil for a month-long tour. The trek will last approximately three weeks and it spans the U.S. and Canada. Welcome back, Dir En Grey.

"We're extremely excited to announce that Dir En Grey will be back in U.S. and Canada this November 2013 for a headline tour!," the band said.

Dir En Grey have been gone from the U.S and Canadian tour circuit for a while, so it's a big deal that they are back. If you dig hard rock with an enigmatic feel, then Dir En Grey are for you.

The band's last studio album was the well-received 'Dum Spiro Spero' back in 2011, but earlier this year they unleashed 'The Unraveling,' a new EP. The disc, issued in April, followed on the heels of 'Rinkaku,' a single that arrived in December of last year.
