ALPHOENIX

Japan’s melodic death metal band ALPHOENIX have evolved to a new level of awesomeness with their new album, Evil Ways. Combining lyricism and aggression, the dramatic sound features sensational twin guitars, clean vocals, and growls has reached the realm of isolation.

The Tokyo-based band is no stranger to the global death metal scene, and all of the members are seasoned musicians, ready to reinvogate the passion for death metal music, with their genuine passion for melodic death metal as a genre.

ALPHOENIX is made up of vocalist Thor, guitarist and vocalist Shimpei (Solar Guitars endorsement), bassist Bitoku (Ibanez endorsement), guitarist Yuki, and drummer Shohei. All five musicians have played roles in some of Japan’s defining metal bands, including MYPROOF, Sailing Before The Wind, Serenity In Murder, and more. Together, they bring a new re-fusion of melodic death metal and metalcore that pays homage to the key structural features while being bold and brash with the more experimental elements.
