Japan (1992 – 2001)
MALICE MIZER was a Japanese visual kei band originally formed in August of 1992 by guitarists Mana and Közi, who had previously been in a band together called 摩天楼 (Matenrou). After going through three vocalists and three distinctive periods of musical and visual style, the wildly successful group went on “hiatus” December 11th, 2001.
MALICE MIZER’s first era, the Tetsu era, lasted from 1992 until 1994. Line-up: Tetsu (vocalist), Gaz (drums), Yu～ki (bass), Közi (guitar), and Mana (guitar). Gaz was replaced by Kami at the beginning of this era, and Gaz was only in the band for about a half a year.
The GACKT era followed after a one-year hiatus, beginning in 1995 and lasting until 1999. Line-up: Gackt (vocalist), Kami (drums), Yu～ki (bass), Közi (guitar), and Mana (guitar). This era was considered MALICE MIZER’s “major” era, because after Voyage was released, MALICE MIZER signed to major record label Nippon columbia and released merveilles, which is largely considered their best album. After the release of merveilles, Gackt announced his departure from the band, and in June of 1999, Kami died of a subarachnoid hemorrhage. MALICE MIZER was then reverted back into an indies status, on Mana’s label Midi:Nette.
The final era featured Klaha , a classically trained opera vocalist. This lasted from 2000 until the eventual hiatus in 2001, from which it is largely believed they will not return, and many consider MALICE MIZER to be disbanded. Line-up: Klaha (vocalist), Yu～ki (bass), Közi (guitar), and Mana (guitar).

they should have released 1 more album every era: 1 more with tetsu, 1 more with gackt and 1 more with klaha. But i agree, there were a lot of gems that they never released during tetsu era ... how i loved shoujo no hitomi

they should have released at least two albums with tetsu. [2] there are actually a lot of really good songs from that era that were never released on anything. I'm particularly fond of FREEZE ME

I greatly appreciate extreme metal, heavy metal, neoclassic metal, 80's music of the world, but nothing was more exciting to me. The band will always be perfect. The most beautiful compositions, unforgettable vocal lines, arrangements, everything. Eternally grateful.
