Sukekiyo (stylized as sukekiyo and also referred to in katakana form as スケキヨ) is a Japanese rock band formed in 2013 by Dir En Grey vocalist Kyo. It is sometimes referred to as a supergroup as every member of the band is or has been in other well-known acts in the Japanese visual kei movement, although only Kyo is currently active in another band.
Sukekiyo was formed as a side project [4] by Kyo along with members of other Japanese rock bands. The name derives from Seishi Yokomizo's novel The Inugami Clan. [5] The band's activities are by periods as Kyo's main project Dir En Grey is still his priority. [6]
In November 2014, they announced a new mini-album called Vitium, which contained 8 new tracks [7] and released on February 4, 2015. [8] The limited edition came with a second disc that includes collaborations with other artists such as X Japan vocalist Toshi and actor Hiroshi Mikami. [9]
On June 21, 2017, Sukekiyo released their second full-length studio album, Adoratio. [10] They covered " Gerbera" for the November 22 Mucc tribute album Tribute of Mucc -En-. [11]
Their first video for the song "Aftermath" was released on January 1, 2014 through iTunes. [17] A second video for the song "In All Weathers" [18] was released on the bonus Blu-ray Disc of Immortalis, along with "Aftermath".
