Arche (stylized as ARCHE) is the ninth studio album by Japanese metal band Dir En Grey. The title comes from the Greek language, meaning the origin. The album was released on December 10, 2014. The contents of the album as well as the tracklist were added to the band's website in late September. At that time, the band's guitarist Die said it would be the most achieved sound that they have ever had. The album will deal with the theme of pain, as shown in a trailer narrated by Ryō Horikawa released on November 12.
