DIVISION is the sixth studio album by Japanese visual kei rock band, the GazettE. The album was released on the 29th of August, 2012 in Japan by Sony Music Records.

The album is the band's heaviest and most progressive release to date; while it continues to feature the experimental/nu metal style present in many of the band's releases. It also includes elements from a wider range of musical genres; ranging from noise rock, industrial, EBM, dubstep, pop, dark ambient, punk rock and metalcore (with less emphasis on the rap metal influences featured in previous releases), resulting in a denser, harsher sound akin to bands such as Dir en grey, Korn, Slipknot and Fear Factory.

All the lyrics were written by band leader, Ruki.
