the GazettE will be digitally releasing its 8th studio album "DOGMA" in Europe a week earlier than the rest of the world.
"DOGMA" will be digitally released in Europe through JPU Records on August 26. The album will then be available physically in Europe and digitally in Japan on September 2. The rest of the world will be able to purchase the album on September 4.
To celebrate the release, JPU Records has also re-released the GazettE's first three major-label albums, "NIL", "STACKED RUBBISH" and "DIM", out now on CD with exclusive new translation booklets and digitally through various retailers.
"DOGMA" originally was set to be release digitally in Europe the same day as Japan; however, Tom Smith, the founder of JPU Records, protested this out of concern that people would illegally download the album if it wasn't made available digitally the same day as the album's physical release in Japan.
