One of Visual-Kei's most legendary indie-bands with a sad history. They've been around for almost 20 years and have gone through a ton of line up changes. Three of the four original members are currently dead (two of which died during the making of a PV, supposedly an accident but it can be interpreted as a joint suicide) and a lot of other members quit due to musical differences. Poor Takayuki has held the band together for all of this time switching from to guitarist to vocalist at the same time, back, and is not just their vocalist. Up until 2007 this band was a four piece but with the introduction of their third official vocalist it became a 5 piece band even though the only "official" members were Takayuki on guitar and Tetsua on vocals. Because of the many vocalists, the band's sound varies a bit from release to release. Also, the band's style started out as a more old-school punk rock sound and then became aggressive thrasher metal after the "PIASS" album. The band has not released any new material since their latest reformation.
