Art Cube formed in 2007 and were signed to Sequence Records label. Z, Y, N, and M are all former members of Brain Hacker, although Z is probably best know as his alter-persona “Seth” from Moi dix Mois. In the same vein, M used to be a support keyboardist for MALICE MIZER during their last year together before their indefinite hiatus.
In the same year of as their formation, they performed two lives at Meguro RockMayKan and released one track on omnibus SUMMIT 04. The band’s theme is “Tribal Gothic,” and plays music that is a mixture of gothic rock with symphonic elements and straight forward hard-rock. In comparison to other bands, Art Cube has had a rather slow release rate. However, the band has managed to put out two collection albums, one of which was a European release. Art Cube has also toured internationally: in 2009 they went to Europe and intended to tour South America as well, but due to management issues the latter tour had to be canceled.
In 2010, keyboardist M had to take a break from the band due to health reasons. Although he was able to return to the stage in the summer of that year, he later left the band in the fall due to further medical complications.
Currently the band is signed to DUAL CORE SOUND ENTERPRISES, which is owned by the owner of Meguro RockMayKan and was also the label that held Black:List after they left Sequence Records, along with Sequence Records’ former owner’s new band, Triggah.
Members:
Vocal: Z (ゼタ, Zeta) {From-Moi dix Mois, ex-Amadeus, ex-After Image, and did support vocals for HIZAKI's solo project}
Guitar: Y (ユウ, Yuu)

I saw the single on CD Japan, only 9 left, and decided to buy it. Although I wanted to save money and have so many things to buy... I think it means I'm addicted...

Interesting band.I stumbled upon their song "Test tube skeleton" on youtube earlier...

Got mine too! Great single, my hopes were really low for the song akatsuki no mai but it ended up being a nice and fun song. Test tube skeleton is my favourite and the acoustic version of shitsurakuchou is great too, hope they'll release more acoustic versions in the future.

Wow, its great you guys are enjoying the single, both songs are on top now. I'm still waiting for my copy to arrive, so I havent heard it yet. :~

The new single was very...different. Good different though! "Test Tube Skeleton" reminds me of a mix of Penicillin's "Death Dance" and fragments of a few Volbeat songs.

I didn't hear any live versions yet, so I don't know the difference either. But the main track has some strange electronic features in it which doesn't fit very well in my opinion.
