Japanese band ALPHOENIX was formed in 2015 and plays a Melodic type of Death Metal. In their music, they combine aggression with sensational melodic guitar parts, clean vocals and growls.

Reinvigorating the global Death Metal scene is no small task, but ALPHOENIX is up to the task. The Tokyo-based band is no stranger to the scene, and all of the members are seasoned musicians who have a genuine passion for Melodic Death Metal as a genre. Together vocalist Thor, guitarist and vocalist Shimpei, bassist Bitoku, guitarist Yuki, and drummer Shohei have all played roles in some of Japan’s defining Metal bands such as MYPROOF, SAILING BEFORE THE WIND, SERENITY IN MURDER and more.

So far, the band from Tokyo has released two studio albums: “Final Crusades” (2015) and “Evil Ways” (2022).

The band revealed an official video for its new single, “The Jester Bird“, where Kouta from THOUSAND EYES played a guest solo. The single was produced by Jonas Kjellgren (SABATON, AMORPHIS, HYPOCRISY). The cover was created by Shimpei – the vocalist and guitarist of the band.

Leader of the band comments: “This song is a concept single dedicated to the Melodic Death Metal of the 90s, mainly represented by IN FLAMES. Whether it will be included in the album is still undecided.“
