This was sent in from ST reader, Nika. Thanks for the news~.

It seems Sirokuro (who we’ve introduced here) have lost their guitarist, Dou, earlier in this year.

Their other guitarist, Rui, made a post about it, saying that they were down a member, and apologized for not being about for formally announce it yet.

They are still having lives throughout the months of May and June, so all still seems to be going well for them.

sirokuro

Another that caught my attention lately is Sirokuro ! They formed in the same period as CELL HEAD and look interesting to me, especially for those who remember the band 鴉-Kalas-

sir

Vocals : Nyago (ex. 13階段)

Guitar : Rui (ex. 鴉-Kalas-)

Guitar : Dou

Bass : Mari

I, personally, think Dou has one of the most amazing look I’ve seen lately !

Anyway… the band already distributed their first demo for 10 days back in August, it was called “MIND FUCKER~demo version~” which leads me to think they could sound pretty heavy !

Make sure to check them out !
