A Tokyo band that blended symphonic metal, operatic vocals, and traditional folk touches.
For a quick sense of their sound, 'Vampire Miyu' and 'Ranka Bojou ~Ranka no TEEMA' frame it well, that blend of driving metal and melodic, folk-tinged pieces.
They carved out a space where gothic metal met symphonic arrangements and Japanese folk motifs, not an easy fit for mainstream ears but one that built a dedicated following. Songs like 'Vampire Miyu' and 'Ranka Bojou ~Ranka no TEEMA' show that mix of operatic vocals and atmospheric guitar work. Their recordings, with Miyu Yachiyo's voice over Shuji Katayama's guitar lines, have kept a place in the alternative metal scene.
Formed in Tokyo in 2005, they released albums from 'Vampire Princess Miyu' in 2007 to 'Ten no Koe' in 2013. They toured in Japan and abroad, collaborating with artists like Moi dix Mois and Dir en grey.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
