In May 2009 SUICIDE HEAVEN was formed in Sapporo, Hokkaido, by Ryoji, Shuji and Shogo.
The distinguishing characteristics of SUICIDE HEAVEN consisted of the “twin vocal” of Ryoji and Shogo, the thrilling fast-paced drum of Shuji and the lyrical guitar melodies of Ryoji coloring the whole music.
Performing with many talented artists, SUICIDE HEAVEN received special recognition and was given outstanding engagements, creating a new sensation in the “Extreme Scene” in Sapporo.
In the same year, SUICIDE HEAVEN moved its base from Sapporo to Tokyo and was renamed as GYZE.
In 2012 GYZE participated in “Wacken Open Air”, the greatest metal fest in the world, one that had been attracting public attention even throughout Japan. In this event, GYZE’s performance enabled itself to clear all hurdles and to advance to the final round of the competition. Following that achievement, GYZE’s long-awaited first full album is scheduled to be released in June 2013 by the Italian label Coroner Records.
