Japan (1999 – present)
D’espairsRay is an alternative rock band hailing from Japan. Their music consists of industrial, metal, electronic, rock and pop influences. The group was formed on September 9th, 1999 by HIZUMI (vocals, ex-Le’veil), Karyu (guitar, ex-Dieur Mind), ZERO (bass) and TSUKASA (drums, ex-Le’veil). They held their first live performance on the 24th at Takadanobaba AREA. On December 26th of the same year they released a demo tape, “蒼”, limited to 60 copies and distributed for free.
Their first single, entitled “蜘蛛” was released in October of 2000, and a second, “眩惑”, in 2001. Fans began to increase. In July of 2001, the band released a mini-album, “TERRORS”, and started to play at larger venues (despite vastly under estimating their boost in popularity, and continuously releasing limited copies of their music). However, notability was truly acclaimed after the release of their single “Garnet”, which reached the top of the Oricon indies charts.
The success of “Garnet” gave D’espairsRay the opportunity to play events such as Stylish Wave 03 Mega Force Gig and the infamous Beauti-Fools Festival ‘03, organised by the magazine FOOLS MATE. They weren’t just generating interest on their own soil, however. In 2004, they embarked upon their first European tour, called “Wollust Ward dem Wurd gegeben”, that traversed France and Germany.

Yeah I agree - [Coll:Set] is definitely their best album. I love In Vain and Grudge - their heavier stuff is the best. :)
