DIR EN GREY’s 34th single, The Devil In Me releases on April 24, 2024. Staying true to their tradition, the band has unveiled a teaser clip for the lead track and its accompanying music video. Although the teaser clip is brief, those 15 seconds instill a palpable depth of emotion, heightening anticipation for the looming release.

The video presents demonic visuals drenched in candy pink. They flash by so quickly that they barely leave an imprint on your psychebut if you dare pause the video for a closer look, the dioramas are absolutely disturbing. It makes us wonder if the pastel hues ease the edge, or intensify the surrealist horror. Against this unsettling backdrop, a mugshot resembling American serial killer John Wayne Gacy flickers across the screen.

In terms of sound, we confront a foreboding sense of tragedy—an echoing choir frames vocalist Kyo’s gritty verse, as guitars drone hauntingly in the background. Shinya’s drumline adds to the intensity, driving the song forward with a relentless force that amplifies its depth and atmosphere.

Steeled yourself? Check it out below. It definitely ramps up the tension for the full release!
