Editor's note

Balzac's gothic visual kei sound from Japan

A Japanese visual kei band that blended gothic rock with metal and industrial elements.

For their sound, 'Killer In The Window' and 'Unvarnished Facts' give you the picture. They're what this band does.

Balzac brought a darker edge to Japan's visual kei scene when they formed in 1999. Songs like 'Killer In The Window' and 'Break Fuckin' Yourself' showed how they mixed gothic rock with metal and industrial sounds. Their 2001 album 'The Last Men on Earth' became their breakthrough moment.

The band formed in 1999 with vocalist Hirosuke leading a lineup that included Ryosuke on guitar, Takayuki on bass, and Takuya on drums. They followed their breakthrough album with 'Elysion' in 2003 and 'Corpus Christi' in 2006, maintaining steady studio and live output while guitarists and bassists rotated through the years.
