Sukekiyo


Sukekiyo is a Japanese band formed in 2013 by Dir en grey vocalist Kyo. It is sometimes referred to as a supergroup as every member of the band is or has been in other well-known acts in the Japanese visual kei movement, although only Kyo is currently active in another band.

History

Sukekiyo was formed as a side project by Kyo along with members of other Japanese rock bands. The name derives from Seishi Yokomizo's novel The Inugami Clan. The band's activities are by periods as Kyo's main project Dir en grey is still his priority. Since the band released their first album, they have had a handful of tours in Japan, and more recently, Europe.
In November 2014, they announced a new mini-album called Vitium, which contained 8 new tracks and released on February 4, 2015. The limited edition came with a second disc that includes collaborations with other artists such as X Japan vocalist Toshi and actor Hiroshi Mikami.
On June 21, 2017, Sukekiyo released their second full-length studio album, Adoratio. They covered "Gerbera" for the November 22 Mucc tribute album Tribute of Mucc -En-.
