DEATHGAZE


Deathgaze (デスゲイズ desugeizu?) is a Japanese nagoya kei metal band.

History

Deathgaze was formed in the summer of 2003 by Hazuki, Ai, Naoki, and Kanna. After releasing their first EP, "294036224052", vocalist, Hazuki, left in spring 2004 to form his own band, lynch.. Guitarist Kanna also left in 2004. As replacements, vocalist Sou and guitarist Naoto joined the group in late 2004. The band released several more singles and their first album, before Sou left in late 2006 to marry. The band then did a tour without vocalist with girugamesh titled "Girugaze&Deathgamesh", with bassist Ai and girugamesh vocalist Satoshi sharing vocal duties. In March 2007 the band announced they would be on hiatus while searching for a new vocalist.
On November 11, 2007, the band officially ended their hiatus with bassist Ai becoming the band's vocalist. They continued as a three-member band until April 2008 when Kosuke joined the band to relieve Ai of bass duties.[1] On April 26, 2009, guitarist Naoto retired from the band and from music, but he stated that if possible in the future he would return. After Naoto's retirement, Takaki (ex. ASS'n'ARROW) played live support guitar for the band, while Ai contributed guitar work to "The Continuation" and "Blood." Takaki was added as an official member on November 20, 2009. From 2010 on, Ai also took up the rhythm guitar in some of the band's songs.
As of 2012, Deathgaze has released five albums and several singles. Ai is the main composer and lyricist of the band, and was so even when he was still the band's bassist. He is also in charge of art direction for their CD releases. From 2003 to 2007 the band also performed under the session name Knohhoso (野っ細), playing cover songs of older and popular Japanese rock bands. Knohhoso also featured Ai on vocals.

[edit]Music

Deathgaze's music is part of the nagoya kei scene, and has influences from various metal genres. The vocals are usually a mixture between clean singing and growls, with clean vocals being used more in recent years. All of Deathgaze' vocalists have had a similar, nasal singing style. When Ai became the band's vocalist, he had no previous experience with growls and for some time bassist Kosuke assisted him with the growls. Kosuke still provides most of the growled backing vocals.
All of Deathgaze's guitarists have used 7-string guitars, and since 2012 vocalist Ai has started using an 8-string guitar as well.
