Sukekiyo (stylized as sukekiyo and also referred to in katakana form as スケキヨ) is a Japanese band formed in 2013 by Dir en grey vocalist Kyo. It is sometimes referred to as a supergroup as every member of the band is or has been in other well-known acts in the Japanese visual kei movement.
History
Sukekiyo was formed as a side project[2] by Kyo along with members of other Japanese rock bands. The band's activities are by periods as Kyo's main project Dir en grey is still his priority.[3] Since the band released their first album, they have had a handful of tours in Japan, and more recently, Europe.[4]
In November 2014, they announced a new mini-album called Vitium, that will contain 8 new tracks[5] and will be released on February 4, 2015.[6] The limited edition will come with a second disc that includes collaborations with other artists such as X Japan vocalist Toshi and actor Hiroshi Mikami.[7]
