Mysterious band ARMADEA was announced in a series of cryptic tweets on August 29th; now, their full details have been revealed.
We knew that DILLINGER members would be involved somehow, as they revealed their own disbandment on August 29th and retweeted the announcement about ARMADEA at the same time. It turns out the four out of five members have gone on to this new band—sort of.
ARMADEA vocalist Kazuki (一稀) and guitarist Yamato were both in DILLINGER proper, while bassist KAZUMA and drummer LyieK were members of the first version of DILLINGER, back when it was known as Nidaime A.H.B (二代目A.H.B). Joining them on guitar is HIROYA, who has written and produced for several groups. The full lineup is as follows:
- Vo. Kazuki (一稀) [ex-DILLINGER]
- Gt. HIROYA [ex-ELEGY (エレジィ)]
- Gt. Yamato [ex-DILLINGER (support)]
- Ba. KAZUMA (一磨) [ex-Nidaime A.H.B (二代目A.H.B)]
- Dr. LyieK. [ex-Nidaime A.H.B (二代目A.H.B)]
The band's live activity will start with a oneman on October 23th at Kanazawa (金沢) AZ. The details about the oneman will be announced on a later date.
The band also released their first MV, Born To Be Malice; however, details about their first release have yet to be announced.
