Dogma (stylized as DOGMA in Japan) 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.[1]

The album scored number 2 on its first day of release on the Oricon Daily Charts[2] and number 3 on the Oricon Weekly Charts, selling 18,102 copies in its first week.[3]

For DOGMA, the GazettE launched a very special project that goes beyond the music:

the GazettE released its eighth studio-album on August 26th 2016. Titled ‘DOGMA’, the band does with it everything on a grand and beauty scales! The record is incorpored [sic] 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 thirteenth sub-projects represented graphically by a logo, a ring-shape dodecagon. The circle added to the twelve-sided polygon symbolizes the thirteeth [sic] 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 (duration, age). These sub-projects, commonly titled ‘movement’ — the notion of time is a corollary of the notion of movement — yet dissociated by ordinal numbers, are then revealed in further details in dribs and drabs. Album ‘DOGMA’, being the very first movement (located at the far north on the logo), is the core piece of the puzzle which encompasses other audiovisual and text elements created in association with 18 artists.[4]
