On October 28, DEZERT released their second major album, self-titled “DEZERT”. The new album showcases the latest evolution of DEZERT through 20 addictive tracks sure to be on repeat.

As DEZERT celebrates 15 years with a tour across Japan, they have provided their global fanbase a plethora of new material to jump into. With 20 tracks spread across two discs, the self-titled album, DEZERT, comes packed with a variety of styles. The album features previously released singles, including Ongaku (音楽), which was notably produced by Ken from L’Arc-en-Ciel. In addition to previous singles came 14 brand-new tracks. After opening with the heavy blood-pumping single Welcome To The End, DEZERT continually throws new surprises your way, track after track. DEZERT somehow seamlessly transitions the heaviest tracks on the album to the most somber ballads, as with the hauntingly beautiful “Elama.” metamorphosing into the lethal My Unhappy Life.

The album’s release was accompanied by a music video for Ikiteyukoune (生きてゆこうね), its closing track. Ikiteyukoune ends the album with haunting, dark, atmospheric verses disturbed with slow and brutal guitar riffs by Miyako. Complementing the dark instrumentation, the music video opens in grayscale, presenting an assortment of scenes shot at a low frame rate to heighten the creepy atmosphere. As vocalist Chiaki (千秋) enters the track, color returns to the music video, breathing new life into the visuals. Likewise, as the track progresses, the buildup of passion equally fills you up with energy.

The album DEZERT also features the highly addictive single TOXIC, which was released September 2 alongside Welcome To The End. TOXIC is a powerful, feel-good track with explosive heavy verses and addictive choruses, which will be in your head for days. With how energy-filled TOXIC is, it has also been selected as the November ending theme for the Japanese music programme Buzz Rhythm 02. TOXIC‘s music video can be found below for an intense boost of energy.

TOXIC isn’t the only track by DEZERT that has spread to the medium of television. Hibana (火花), also featured on the album, was made for the Amazon Prime drama series Ningen Hyouhon (人間標本). Similarly, Hibana explores fun-filled soundscapes accompanied by a beautiful music video showcasing the band putting their heart and soul into performance.

The album DEZERT is now available on major streaming services and can also be bought physically. For longtime fans, a deluxe edition of the album is also available, labeled Saikyo Ban (roughly translated as “The Best Edition”). It packs the base album and a third disc containing an additional six tracks. Additionally, a Blu-ray disc is also included featuring full footage of the Makuhari Messe concert and the documentary “Bokura no ‘Ongaku’ ni Tsuite” (僕らの“音楽”について). Links for both editions and streaming links can be found in the below.
