With a consistent lineup of guitarists Kaoru and Die, vocalist Kyo, drummer Shinya and bassist Toshiya, they have released eleven full-length albums. Numerous stylistic changes have made the genre of their music difficult to determine, though it is generally considered to be a form of metal. Originally a visual kei band, the members later opted for more subtle attire, but have continued to maintain a dramatic image on stage. The Marrow of a Bone (stylized as THE MARROW OF A BONE) is their sixth studio album, released on February 7, 2007. In March 2007, The Marrow of a Bone reached number 21 on Billboard's "Top Independent Albums" chart. Clever Sleazoid is the closing track (track thirteen), lyrics by Kyo and music composed by Dir En Grey. "Clever Sleazoid" was re-recorded and released as a b-side of the band's "Ochita Koto no Aru Sora" (落ちた事のある空, The Fallen Sky) single in 2020.
