Visutox 188 Posted November 11, 2014 Death I Am from L to R : Shogo Tsuruda / Jacob Wilcox / Yusuke Ito / Kaz Niita Created in winter 2005 by the name of “Cultura” and based in Tokyo, Japan, "Death I Am" is a Japanese Death Metal/Deathcore band. Due to time constraints and musical change Sekiguchi along with Yoshiro and Etsuko left the band. Shogo Kept writing songs and material while the band was on hiatus and got Yutaro on bass. Then he found Jacob for vocals and they recorded some songs and changed the name of the band to "Death I Am". After a few tours they released their second demo “Providence”. In April 2010 They released their 1st full length album “Nebula” on Realize Records. In 2014, Kaz Niita joined the band as the new drummer. The band released a demo in 2011 titled "A Slaughter Yet To Come" and another one in 2012, titled "Nanite Swarm". Currently the band is on tour and after that they'll start recording their 2nd full-lenght album. (Bio coming from : Mainly band's last.fm page; I made some changes and I added some recent information. The picture is from their website) Past Members Guitars : Yasuhiro Gotoh, Tomohiko Yoshida Bass : Sekiguchi Keyboards : Etsuko Drums : Yoshiro, Daishi Matsukura Discography - Nascence (demo) 2007 - Providence (demo) 2007 - Nebula (album) 2010 - A Slaughter Yet To Come (demo) 2011 - Nanite Swarm (demo) 2012 Links Twitter (Shogo's account) Facebook Last.fm Official Website -------------------------------------------------------------- I was a bit surprised that this band had not a thread here so I started this one. Even if it's understandable since they aren't popular but anyway. I've been listening to this so talented band during a long time. Their 1st album "Nebula" released in 2010 is really great, awesome stuff. After that good album I got a bit disappointed because Yoshida and Matsukura had both left the band so I thought they'd be on hiatus or even split up but fortunately, the band is still alive. I've been also pleased to see that they released two songs this year. Wilcox is a fuckin beast. For those who don't know this band, here's some of their less newer stuff. And for those who may be interested, I got some news coming from Shogo on twitter. So we can expect a new album coming in 2015. That's great! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kurenaishineek 646 Posted November 11, 2014 Did not listen to them for over 2 years now . But they still cant really reach the level of bands like Veiyadra , Myocardial Infarction or Infernal Revulsion . Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blackdoll 907 Posted November 18, 2014 they still cant really reach the level of bands like Infernal Revulsion . but the new songs are good. hope they dont mess around again with that weak shit Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DogManX 179 Posted November 18, 2014 I discovered them from the japanese metal documentation (on youtube) and the distributed songs weren't that bad. They have definitely potential, didn't listen to their new stuff though. Yet, they're not like DA BOMB of japanese metal. Infernal revulsion, defiled and GxSxD are like my biggest hopes of j. extreme metal right now. None can surpass Vomit remnants though.. nerdnerdnerdnerdnerdnerdnerd 1 Visutox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kurenaishineek 646 Posted November 20, 2014 but the new songs are good. hope they dont mess around again with that weak shitNewer said they are bad , just not the level of bands like Infernal Revulsion . Death I Am are good , but they stil have a little far from bands of both genres they play , from Death Metal , bands like Infernal Revulsion are way better , from Deathcore , well there is not much Deathcore in japan , but old Nocturnal Bloodlust was way better . For the second genre they could learn a thing or two from bands like Revenge The Fate on how to do it in a way that just works better . For now lets just see what the guys do on their next album .
