ABOUT SOUNDWITCH

名称未設定 1.jpg

【SOUNDWITCH Profile】
大阪にて結成。デジタルビートに絡みつくアグレッシブかつヘヴィネスなヒューマングルーブを支えるYuki(Ds)、Matsubai(B)のサウンドに縦横無尽に飛び交うMaiden(M)のギターとマシンサウンドが重なり作り上げる楽曲はネオインダストリアルゴシック、ネオEBMともいえ、その圧倒的世界観を作り上げている。また、楽器陣が作曲をほほぼ均等に行いプログラムも各々が担当しているのも多彩な世界観を構築しているのに影響している。それらの全てを支配する女司祭のごとくボーカルのTwinはそのグロテスクでありながらも妖艶な世界観に息吹を与え更なる深みを加えている。

暗黒ディスコと形容されるのそのライブは、見る物全てを圧倒し、SOUNDWITCHワールドに瞬時に引き込むライブパフォーマンスで、国内でも有数のツアーライブバンドとして圧倒的存在感を誇る。

インダストリアルにゴシックで、そしてグロテスクでありながらも妖艶なSOUNDWITCHワールドをぜひご堪能あれ!

【SOUNDWITCH Profile - English】
SOUNDWITCH are a female fronted 5-member rock band formed in Osaka, Japan. Their English lyrics are poetic and their sound is industrial, electronic, and gothic.
They have released three, original full-length albums, WICCAHOLIC ('09), GROTESCA ('10) and ROMANESQUE ('14), as well as WICCAHOLIX ('11) a popular remix album. 

 

After performing at their first domestic festival, GEKI ROCK, SOUNDWITCH continued to perform at festivals both in Japan and internationally

 

September, 2011 - Taiwan (Taipei, Kaohsiung)
March, 2012 - United States (Pittsburgh - TEKKOSHOKON Convention for over 2,000 guests, and at the Hard Rock Cafe)
June, 2014 - United States, New York
July, 2015 - Taiwan (WAKE UP Festival, and in Taipei)

 

Their talent and ability to give power packed performances has garnered attention and praise from across the world. Ever since a member change up in 2013, SOUNDWITCH has performed more than 70 shows annually. 
Not only are they recognized for their diverse sound and musicianship, they have been noticed as artists through their consistent expression in the world of SOUNDWITCH. 

 

SOUNDWITCH has also actively released visual media from music and live performance videos, to instrument cam videos, which are viewable on YouTube. 

 

In November 2016, SOUNDWITCH released their latest work EROTICA, an EP with a special, limited venue-only release. 
Here, they show another face of their musicianship and create a sense of great expectation for their next release. 

 

Digital beat, entwined with aggressive and heavy yet human beats by Yuki (Dr.), mixing freely with the sounds of Matsubai (Ba.) overlap and build with the creations of machine manipulator Maiden (M.) to create multi-layered compositions with an overwhelming world view. 

This powerful sound is guided by the voice of Twin (Vo.), who stands above all like a priestess over a complex ritual. Her voice breathes out a grotesque yet enchanting view of the world creating further depth to the total sound. 

 

SOUNDWITCH has evolved again, and their new phase is creating a rumble of excitement as their activities continue to progress both across Japan and out into the world.
