The Marrow of a Bone (stylized as THE MARROW OF A BONE) is the sixth studio album by Japanese heavy metal band Dir En Grey and the first to use an all caps capitalization. It was released on February 7, 2007, in Japan,[4] and in the United States (20 February), Germany (2 March),[5] France (6 March),[6] and the United Kingdom (7 May)[7] in the following months. In total, the album was released in eleven countries.[8] The band was touring North America at the time of the album's release in both Japan and the United States.[9] In March 2007, The Marrow of a Bone reached number 21 on Billboard's "Top Independent Albums" chart.[10]
The album was released in Japan with two editions. The regular edition is a single disc packaged in a traditional jewel case, and a limited edition was released with two discs, one being the main album, and the second an "unplugged" album.[11] The European and American releases were all single editions.
The main disc with the thirteen featured tracks were included. The initial pressing of the album's American edition was affected by a misprint that rendered the album cover unreadable.[12] Warcon Records announced that corrected booklets would be printed.[13] Later pressings featured a correctly printed booklet with a fully visible logo. The cover image is taken from the Dmitri Baltermants photograph "Grief".
A promotional site, in both Japanese and English, was launched prior to the album's release, containing video clips and samples of several songs, information about the album, hosted on the band's official web page.[14] A second promotional site was launched shortly after the release, only accessible with a password included in the Japanese release.[15] Both sites posted information about "premium live" shows, available to those who purchased the album and registered with their product barcode. Footage from the first show was featured on the fan club DVD, In Weal or Woe.[16]
