ALSDEAD is a visual kei quartet with a heavy raging sound, easily distinguishable by their desperate melodies and MAKI’s violent screams. Unlike many bands, the vocalist is the main composer.
ALSDEAD formed in December of 2008 with vocalist MAKI, guitarist Shin, Reito on bass, and Setsua on drums. They played a number of live shows in Tokyo that month, and in January of 2009 their first single, Violent of Reason, was released. This was the first of a two month consecutive release campaign, and the second single, S.a.g.A., went on sale at the end of February. They will continue playing throughout Japan with shows lined up in Tokyo, Nagoya and Osaka through the spring and summer.
