DOGMA

Dogma is the eighth studio album by Japanese visual kei rock band the Gazette, released on August 26, 2015, in Japan and September 4, 2015, in the US by Sony Music and October 2, 2015, in the UK, Europe and Russia by JPU Records. The album scored number 2 on the Oricon Daily Charts on its day of release and number 3 on the Oricon Weekly Charts, selling 18,102 copies in its first week. The GazettE released its eighth studio album on August 26th, 2016. Titled 'DOGMA', the band does with it everything on a grand and beautiful scale! The record is incorporated within the framework of a global conceptual scheme named 'Project: Dark Age' which marks the thirteenth anniversary of the combo. The project, which was launched over the course of March 2015, is being developed purposely through a range of thirteen sub-projects represented graphically by a logo, a ring-shape dodecagon. The circle added to the twelve-sided polygon symbolizes the thirteenth line. The graphic choice, driven by the age of the band, is without a doubt well-thought, since a twelve-star polygon is culturally linked to the Earthly Branches, an ancient means through which time is measured.
