Dazzle Vision is a Japanese screamo band. They appeared at Sakura-Con in 2010.[1][3][4][5][6] After playing in Taiwan in 2006, Dazzle Vision released their first album Origin of Dazzle. They are well known for their hard-rock sound and female vocalist Maiko's alternating melodic/death-voice vocals
History
Formation
Dazzle Vision formed in 2003.[9]
The two main founders of Dazzle Vision are brother and sister, Maiko
and Takuro. Up until 2010, Dazzle Vision did not maintain a steady
line-up, changing the drummer and several guitarists. Because of the
line up changes, Dazzle Vision has managed to continue on with their
work. Past members of the band are Natu (Dr.) (2003–2004), Tan (Gui.)
(2003–2006), Ryu (Gui.) (2006–2008), and Yu (Gui.) (2008–2010).[10] As of 2010 the main band members consisted of Maiko (vocals), Takuro (bass), John (guitar), and Haru (drums).[11]
Maiko and Takuro began the band as an outlet for creation which is a
part of the band's concept. The entire concept of the band is "Children
Create The World" and is also a part of their logo. Drawing on outside
sources Dazzle Vision grew its style. While basic influences from
Western culture have impacted the band, several famous bands such as Evanescence, Black Sabbath, and Metallica have shaped the sound and style of Dazzle Vision.[13] While the band self-describes themselves as Screamo-Pop,[14]
they have branched out into many different music genres such as heavy
metal, alternative metal, thrash metal, grunge, and electronic rock.[3][15]
The band's albums each have a new distinct sound different from the
last. Among the Japanese alternative scene, Dazzle Vision has made an
impact, mixing its strong vocals, dark riffs, and powerhouse screamo
rants.[16]
