Frontman Keisuke shared a message on social media to fans in Europe:
“To all our friends in Europe—
thank you so, so much for your patience.
It was honestly heartbreaking to have to cancel in the past due to various circumstances.
We’ve never stopped regretting it.
We’re truly sorry that the location is different from where we previously planned to perform—whether it’s a different city or country—
but finally, the time has come to see you all!
Right now, I’m busy building a raft—using Daiki’s bass, Ray’s guitar, and Kanta’s drumsticks as tools.
We’re almost ready to set sail, so hang tight just a little longer okay?
Can’t wait to finally see all of you in person.”
Additionally, the band just held their annual DEVIFEST festival, joined by bands such as JILUKA, DEXCORE, and CARNIFEX. Plus, this weekend, the band will perform at the first MASKED visual kei festival, alongside acts like ROYZ, KIZU, VERDE, and more.
The band’s latest release “INSHU”, was described as their most brutal, and technically complex work to date. DEVILOOF are pushing the limits of extreme.
DEVILOOF lineup:
Vocal – Keisuke
Guitar Vocal – Ray
Bass – Daiki
Drums – Kanta
Actor Tadanobu Asano, who won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor (drama series category) for the first time in Japan in the drama “SHOGUN”, makes a special appearance in the music video of “INSHU”! Keisuke (vocals), who is often inspired by visual works when producing songs, was fascinated by Asano’s performance of “SHOGUN” and when he made an offer, he was able to get his consent. Tadanobu Asano was also a fan of DEVILOOF, so this time he sewed up a busy schedule and co-starred. You can watch the music video below:
