A lot of Japanese bands are lately making their debut in European countries, and so the next one announced their tour! NIGHTMARE is a Japanese Visual-kei Rock band known for its unique style. They’ll perform shows around Europe, including Finland, the UK, France, Hungary, Poland, and Spain, and three shows in Germany. Be sure not to miss it!
NIGHTMARE was formed in 2000 by vocalist Yomi, guitarists Sakito and Hitsugi, bassist Ni~Ya, and drummer Ruka. Their music contains influences from Rock, Hardcore Punk, and Melodic Metal, combined with Visual-kei aesthetics. All of the members work on songs together, having a balanced workflow. Also, NIGHTMARE has an alter-ego band called Sendai Kamotsu [仙台貨物], which is more of a fun project with comedy shows and fun songs than a serious band.
They gained a lot of fans in the anime community by providing soundtracks for the well-known and all-time classic anime Death Note. The opening song, called The World, is still one of the most popular songs from NIGHTMARE, so no wonder they named their tour after it. They played their first concert in Europe at Japan Expo 2013, but haven’t returned since. Now, they finally do their very own European tour to celebrate their 25th band’s anniversary.
Tickets are on sale now. For more information, please check out envolprod.com! We can’t wait to see Nightmare live on our stages, let’s rock together!
