Biography

Japan (2000 – present)

Genre: Industrial/Darkwave/EBM.

Hora is a Japanese musician and composer who began his musical career in 2000 as keyboardist for Velvet Eden. He left the band a year later to form Rudolf Steiner with ex-ISOLA member Kaya. After releasing two demos and signing under Mana’s record label Midi:Nette, the band changed their name to Schwarz Stein, meaning “black stone”. During both groups, Kaya sung the vocals and wrote the lyrics while Hora did keyboards and programming. After releasing two singles, “Perfect Garden” and “Current”, and two albums, “New vogue children” and “Artificial Hallucination”, the group broke up over creative differences. Later, in April of 2006, Kaya and Hora collaborated to form the group another cell and release an album featuring a re-recorded Rudolf Steiner song, and remixes of several songs off of Hora’s album “Inner Universe”.

Despite the disbandment of Schwarz Stein, Hora is still working with Kaya, doing arragements for some of his songs (f.e. b-side from Kaya’s last single Chocolat “Pourriture noble” and few tracks on his first major album “Glitter”)

    I agree Hora is very underrated...then I guess compared to other artists he gets lumped in he isn't really as image-based as the rest (considering their wasn't any pictures of him from the split of Schwarz Stein until their first one day live reunion).

    Hora's music is awesome. Very underrated, which is a shame.

    He's yet to top ICEBOUND. But he's consistently brilliant so I couldn't give a fuck.

    Emailing them with your PayPal address and then paying the invoice doesn't seem all that messy to me.

    TYRANT has so many great songs. Especially IMMORTAL -Fallen-. And I thought IMMORTAL was perfect the way it was! I'm gonna be obsessing over this song for a while me thinks! X3

    I can't believe Hora is back!!! I thought I'd never get to listen to his tunes again! This is so relieving!
