A sudden tragedy
A call from a friend
I doubted it many times, but it was true
Beyond the limits of tolerance
One light went out
My tears and voice are all gone
I will never forgive God for taking away my friend's existence
The sadness and hatred that cannot be touched by the family and friends left behind will continue forever
A shooting star guided me The bond is so strong
I don't care about the reunion process
I'll enjoy the passing of time
I liked the way he rode a motorbike and smoked cigarettes, so I tried to imitate him
He loved music and I have fond memories of performing live with him
I'll keep telling you the many anecdotes
The precious bond you gave me
I wish with a strong twist
We’ll keep tying them together forever so they won’t come undone
But no matter how much I wish, my anger
Only grows as my wishes are not granted
I can't forgive
On the last night, we were all in tears
I stayed by your side until dawn
On the last night, we drank until late
I kept talking about memories with you
The precious bond you gave me
I wish with a strong twist
We’ll keep tying them together forever so they won’t come undone
But no matter how much I wish, my anger only grows as my wishes are not granted
I can't forgive

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.
