About D'espairs Ray

D'espairs Ray was founded in 09.09.1999 by Karyu (guitarist, ex-Dieur Mind under name of Yoshitaka) Hizumi (vocal), Tsukasa (drums - both former member of Le'Veil) and Zero (bass). The line-up never changed from the beginning
They released 5 demo tapes, 3 singles (one "hidden") 7 maxi-singles and 2 mini-albums. Also they are in middle of working on full-album, or at least they say so.
They're getting more and more recognition on the scene by each release (they deserve that). Not only in Japan,but also overseas (DR gave two concerts in Europe - in Berlin at 30th and in Paris 31 at October 2004 ).
D'espairsRay plays a metal-goth music: dark, whining guitar, lots of static and noise, and lyrics, create dark and not so sane atmosphere,.. They're definitely a most promising band! Worth listening to, not to mention seeing live. Wonderfully dark and decadent.
