This is a music video pretending to be a horror experience. The drawn figures contort through grotesque tableaus while DIR EN GREY's distorted vocals scream incoherently over jagged instrumentation, and you're pinned in place by visuals too ugly to look away from. There's no story, no catharsis, no reason, just sustained wrongness for six minutes, which is exactly the point. It's built for people who want art that repels them, not comforts them.

DIR EN GREY's 2006 single Agitated Screams of Maggots is given a fully animated music video directed by Keita Kurosaka. The band members appear only briefly in animated form. The drawings follow a traditional hand-drawn look and lean heavily into the ero guro style, mixing erotic imagery with the grotesque. The short reflects Kurosaka's fascination with violence and relationships, and its art style earned it a screening at the International Film Festival Rotterdam in 2007. It suits viewers interested in horror-tinged animation set to rock music.
