Japanese Melodic Death Metal band GYZE Official page

Biography

In May of 2009 in Sapporo, brothers, Ryoji and Shuji, created SUICIDE HEAVEN, the first incarnation of GYZE.
Their fast paced, lyrical guitar melodies gave them the chance to play with many accomplished artists and reshape Sapporo’s “extreme-scene.”
The band then moved to Tokyo in 2010, changed their name to GYZE, and continued activities at full speed.
In 2012 GYZE advanced through the METAL BATTLE JAPAN event for the chance to play at the biggest metal festival in the world, WACKEN OPEN AIR. Regrettably victory escaped them, but through the event their true abilities were introduced to the world.
That’s how in 2013 they came to know the Italian Disarmonia Mundi member, Ettore Rigotti who produced and engineered GYZE’s long-awaited first album. In June of that year their debut album FASCINATING VIOLENCE was released by CORONER RECORDS, an Italian label owned and run by Ettore Rigotti.
Immediately following the release, there was a change to the band’s lineup and FASCINATING VIOLENCE claimed the number one spot on Amazon’s Hard Rock/Heavy Metal charts for 3 months straight (July – September 2013), as well as topped BURRN!’s foreign record charts in their October 2013 issue. In a single bound GYZE had put the Japanese metal scene on the map.
Continuing their vigorous live activities, the band headed to Korea for their first overseas concert. That show too was a success.
After their first foreign show, support bassist Aruta formally joined GYZE and they made their unprecedented major debut in September of 2014 with Victor Entertainment, a full year and three months behind FASCINATING VIOLENCE’s European release. At the same time contracts were signed with EvolutionMusic (Korea) and Magnum (Taiwan) to launch their Asian debut.
The band also joined forces with HOWLING BULL, the best of the best in managing extreme bands in Japan. Shortly thereafter, they set off on “Final Violence Tour 2014” in Japan, Korea, and Taiwan to support the Japanese release of FASCINATING VIOLENCE. Whether at home or abroad, they were supported by their brilliant looks and unimaginably intense live performances and techniques.
Following the tour final, featuring DISARMONIA MUNDI’s CLAUDIO RAVINALE at TSUTAYA O-WEST in Tokyo, another event was quickly added at ROPPONGI BLUE THEATER as a thank you to all the fans that filled O-WEST and for those who couldn’t make it.
Then in February of 2015 the band’s second album, BLACK BRIDE, also produced by Ettore Rigotti, was released in Japan ahead of the rest of the world. The album features Ettore Rigotti himself on HONESTY (Track 3) as a guest vocalist. (As of June 2015 it has been released from Coroner Records world-wide.) The album seeks to light the listener’s heart on fire with its polished, weeping melody lines and refined techniques. Certainly, in that moment when the song consumes you, saying that GYZE is writing some of the hottest melodies in the world right now is no exaggeration.
Furthermore, in keeping with the band’s surprising philosophy, they have introduced the Your Price System where the audience decides the price based on their satisfaction with the concert. With this innovative system they want to stress the importance of the fans’ satisfaction.
Shortly after the second album’s release, in order to introduce Japan to MIDIAN (Korea) and ANTHELION (Taiwan), an event called “Vanishing Heaven Fest” was organized. At this event too audience satisfaction was priority, as always with GYZE, and a 100% money back guarantee was introduced. Afterwards, GYZE appeared with the American band UNEARTH.
In May of 2015 the band toured Sapporo, Osaka, and Tokyo a second time for BLACK BRIDE TOUR 2015. This time, the band took a step up from TSUTAYA O-WEST to TSUTAYA O-EAST, a much larger venue.
In 2015 GYZE were supporting DragonForce, Children Of Bodom, and Carcass in their Asian Tour.
After that the band is back to Japan where Gyze will be opening on the second day of Japan’s premier metal festival LOUD PARK 2015 at Saitama Super Arena.
In February 2016 GYZE are to support SOILWORK during their Japanese tour.
In summer 2016 GYZE will be on stage of “Summer Breeze Open Air 2016″ and More Than Fest 2016 during their EU tour!
