DEVILOOF
DEVILOOF
Europe Tour -The Unholy-
Formed in 2015, DEVILOOF has rapidly risen as one of the most extreme and innovative bands in the Japanese metal scene. Known for their brutality, theatrical visuals, the band fuses elements of deathcore, slamming brutal death metal, and traditional Japanese aesthetics to create an experience that is aggressive and artistically unique.
Their debut mini-album PURGE (2016) reached No.12 on Japan’s indie charts, an unprecedented achievement for a band in such a niche genre. In 2019, the release of Oni (鬼) expanded their artistic vision, incorporating traditional "wa" (Japanese) influences. The music video for “GouZinZanGoku (拷訊惨獄)” has surpassed 3 million views.
Their latest single, INSHU(因習), released in January 2025, commemorates the band’s 10th anniversary. The track is hailed as the most technically challenging piece in DEVILOOF’s discography, pushing the limits of their musicianship and intensity.
Fearless, ferocious, and unapologetically original, DEVILOOF is not just a band—they are a sonic and visual revolution. For those seeking metal that pushes boundaries while honoring its roots, DEVILOOF offers a thrilling dive into the darker side of Japanese music.
On tour in 2025.
