Following a series of teaser clips, DIR EN GREY released the “promotional edit” music video for MOBS on April 24. The song appears on their latest album, MORTAL DOWNER, released earlier this month.

The video runs under four minutes, shorter than the album version of the song, which is over six minutes long. While the promotional edit presents a visually rich, dark aesthetic full of world building, it does not cover the track in full. That being said, MOBS captures the morose, esoteric atmosphere of the album, making it a fitting choice to showcase MORTAL DOWNER.

This music video also features graphic imagery, including scenes of human suspension, cults, and implied sacrifice, so viewer discretion is advised. As Kaoru, the band’s guitarist put it, “Those who dislike watching pain should watch this with half-open eyes”.

DIR EN GREY - 「MOBS」[12th ALBUM『MORTAL DOWNER』収録] Promotion Edit Ver. (Clip)

DIR EN GREY’s latest album MORTAL DOWNER is now available digitally worldwide. MOBS is the band’s latest music video since The Devil In Me, released in 2024.
