We are excited to be offering for the first time the the GazettE album in Europe. There will be two different versions of the album available for European fans of Visual Kei and J-Rock and of this stylish Visual Kei band "the GazettE"

the GazettE is at present one of the most popular and successful Visual Kei Bands in Japan. the GazettE was founded in 2002 by Ruki ( lead singer) , Uruha (guitarrist), Aoi (guitarrist), Reita ( base guitar ) and Yune (drummer).

the GazettE is one of today´s absolute top acts in the Visual Kei scene. the GazettE was a small band that started out in early 2002 but made it big when they released a maxi-single called Madara that was also released with a DVD that had music videos for each song.

the GazettE take over the stage with a lot of confidence, looking and sounding like consumate professionals . While still visual, their music manages to convey a more street-credible punk element as well that is leading them to fill bigger and bigger venues. Having a variety of great songs -- sing-alongs, headbangs, bouncers -- doesn't hurt either. More than ever they are becoming the next of the biggest J-Rock bands.

With their album "Nil" they made their first appearance on the music scene in Europe.
