Dear East

Artist Profile

• ZiON

  2001: Formed by five childhood friends from their hometown of Hyogo. 2002: Disbanded after a short period of activity. Time passed, and in 2023, the original members reunited and resumed activities. They made a miraculous comeback at a Kaku Metal festival hosted by guitarist Kaku Metal. Currently, vocalist YAS and guitarist Kaku Metal are performing alongside support members. Kaku Metal's style is influenced by METALLICA, PANTERA, SLAYER, and Shikija, and YAS's musical sensibilities are influenced by Slipknot, Machine Head, and Soulfly. Their music, based on a loud and heavy groove, exudes a sense of melancholy and nostalgia amidst the loudness. Their first release in 23 years, the EP "Dear East," marks a new assault on Japan's music scene! 2001: Formed by five childhood friends from their hometown of Hyogo. 2002: Disbanded after only one year of activity.
