The band’s foundation is built upon the expression of despair and hope. They describe their own music as “hard, electronic rock”, which incoporates and is influenced by several genres including but not limited to: industrial, metal, electronic, gothic rock, punk, and pop. Most songs have industrial and electronic based keyboards and heavy metal guitars and influences from pop music.
As of 2011, as well as internationally touring on several occasions, the quartet has released four studio albums, two best-of compilations, two EP's, 7 DVD's, 5 demo tapes and 14 singles. Due to vocalist HIZUMI’s ongoing throat condition, the band was on hiatus for six months. He planned to return once his condition would have been improved but in June 2011 D'espairsRay made the announcement that they had mutually decided to disband because HIZUMI'S condition was not improving.

D'espairsRay Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
今解き放て your mind
Screaming out your emotions !
ありふれた未来を break out
溢れ出す想い太陽を射抜け
Everyday ギリギリのスリルで 錆びたHeart火を点けて
絶望してる時間など無い Now! Now! 突き抜けて uh!
Screaming out your emotions!
怯えるだけの自分を葬れ
始まりの鐘が響いた… 此処が BIRTHDAY… 目を開け
加速していく地平の先へ Down! Down! 飛び込め
噎せ返るTHIS WORLD切り裂いてゆく Now! Now! 楽園へ
Dive! Trust yourself!
Arise! We’re not slaves!
Awake! Calling out to you now…
孤独なこの世界は君の声を待っている
存在を、その意味を叫べ
「俺は今、此処にいる…」
暴走してくCHAOSの渦へ Down! Down! 飛び込め
絶望してる時間など無いNow! Now! 突き抜けて
Screaming out your emotions!
The lyrics to D'espairsRay's song REDEEMER express the idea of breaking free from mundane and ordinary life, by unleashing one's emotions and finding a deeper meaning to existence. The song encourages the listener to let go of fear and trust themselves while diving headfirst into chaos in search of a higher purpose. The opening lines, "Screaming out your emotions! Release them now, your mind. Screaming out your emotions! Break out from an ordinary future," urge the listener to express themselves freely and break away from a life that is predictable and uninspiring.
The song continues with lines like "Everyday thrill, igniting the rusted heart," which means that even in mundane life, we can find excitement and purpose by following our hearts' desires. The lyrics also state that there is no time for despair because we must push through the chaos and reach our goals. The chorus, "Dive! Trust yourself! Arise! We're not slaves! Awake! Calling out to you now!" reinforce the message of taking action and being in control of one's own destiny.
The lyrics culminate in the lines, "This lonely world is waiting for your voice. Shout out your existence and its meaning. 'I'm here, right now...'" These lyrics suggest that by shouting out and expressing our true selves, we can make a meaningful impact on the world and fulfill our purpose.

@sandyblah6671
I miss them very much... they were my first jrock band... and my last... I just couldn't get into another band... they were the best....
@roainwolf997
For me it was despair ray, dir en grey and earlier quaff material before they changed they're style, those were the only three bands I would listen to.
@nikkili8944
I listened to D'espairsRay, Dir En Grey, The Gazette, Mucc, Kagerou, Girugamesh, lynch., D, Versailles PQ, Deathgaze, Deadman and ExisTrace. That are the ones that I can remember of the top of my head. But D'espairsRay was always my favourite J-Rock/VK band. I was a die-hard Despa fan indeed 😄

The Universal should post a video with a better quality. o.o
The PV is good, and the band deserve more respect for their work.
