Withering to death.

~ Release by Dir en grey (see all versions of this release, 9 available)

Annotation

First print run of what was later to become the "European Edition". This CD was sold in France only, and was printed by FREE-WILL Europe before they cooperated with Gan-shin Records. This is a rare CD. The album has one of these thicker jewel cases that are originally used for their Japanese releases.

The tracklist accidently included the data track/Music Video-track of "KODOU" as Track 1 instead of Track 15, therefore the original Track 1 "Merciless Cult" is instead Track 2 etc.
