Will the new album actually redeem D’espairsRay? The last single to be released before the album and the title track as well, REDEEMER, brought the band back to its gothic and industrial metal roots and gave fans renewed hope for the album. However, they are a far cry from the hauntingly beautiful and provocative releases of old-school D’espairsRay. BRILLIANT, KAMIKAZE and HORIZON are good singles. But the most prevalent criticism is D’espairsRay seems to be veering into pop territory. The singles released between the second album Mirror and the current Redeemer are indications that D’espairsRay is evolving. And with it comes a seeming departure from their old sound. If Coll:set and Mirror did not exist that is.Īfter 2 years, the boys are back sporting less of their gothic outfits and now brandishing a contract from a Delicious Deli, a division of Universal Music Japan. Redeemer is one great album from D’espairsRay.
