Girugamesh (ギルガメッシュ) is a Japanese alternative metal visual-kei band, formed in 2004. The name is derived from the earliest known poem; Epic of Gilgamesh. The music of Girugamesh is metal with gloomy undertones, but recently the band has been experimenting with more electronic pop-rock sounds with metal.

Formed in 2003 in Chiba, ShuU and Nii had been friends since elementary school, the earliest incarnation of the band made its first performance while the members were still in high school. Girugamesh began playing gigs in 2004, when the original vocalist Tora and guitarist Hotaru left, until they were signed to record label Gaina-Japan. Their first single, “Kaisen Sengen” was ranked #10 on the Oricon Indies chart. In 2005, Girugamesh embarked on a nation-wide tour, after which they released their first live DVD, featuring footage from the tour, and after more touring, released an EP, Goku - Shohankei Enban.
In 2007, Girugamesh was signed to the European label Gan-Shin. The band then was part of a 9-band Japanese rock festival in Los Angeles, California called “J-Rock Revolution”. They were part of the second night alongside Merry, D’espairsRay and MUCC. Around the time of J-Rock Revolution, some of the performing bands released material on the iTunes Music Store.

Not exactly; but considering that's one of their most agressive songs, having it without growls would be like having mint chocolate ice cream without the chocolate.

So, their pros & cons depend on the absence/presence of Volcano growls? Geez you and your fandom

I'm so happy that I can hear the growls of Volcano on the DVD preview.

Had my reasons to be afraid; since they switched the final growls for 壊れていく世界 for the lalala, I was like "Hope Volcano doesn't get the same treatment". The dvd preview sounds great, I dare to say that even the growling sounds more polished.

From the preview featured on DangerCrue's channel, your fear has been dispelled. If we should ever doubt the harsh existence of Volcano, all hope would be lost

The truth is I don't care about volcano if it doesn't include the growling part.

Definitely looking forward to Owari to Mirai and Zero. I too would have liked Saikai to make it on DVD. If I could choose the set, I would like to hear songs like Goku, Kyo Hollow, Gokusou, Crying Rain, and Domino

Girugamesh revelead the songs that is going to be on their upcoming live-DVD: 01. volcano 02. Omaeni sasageru minikui koe 03. ALIVE 04. CRAZY-FLAG 05. Zero 06. Owari to mirai 07. Jarring fly 08. Shadan 09. Kaisen sengen 10. destiny 11. EXIT 12. Endless wing 13. COLOR 14. Calling 15. Mienai Kyori 16. I think I can fly 17. Break Down 18. MISSION CODE 19. evolution 20. Never ending story So they cut off Deceived Mad Pain, BORDER, Dance Rock Night, Smash!! and Saikai. I wish they would have keeped Deceived Mad Pain, BORDER(even if I think that one is kind of lame live) and Saikai. Thank god they leaved Dance Rock Night, they've already had it on their previous two(if you count the Shining Tour as one) live-DVD. They could have skipped CRAZY-FLAG to IMO. I love the fact that they have some more old school song the first half. Especially Zero and Owari to Mirai :)
