about
GPKISM (2007-2011) was the music project of vocalist Gothique Prince Ken (GPK, ex-Flood of Rain) from Australia. Kiwamu (from ＢＬＯＯＤ) joined in 2008. Created in 2007 by GPK he attracted the attention of Kiwamu who contacted him on Myspace and signed him to his label Darkest Labyrinth. They toured the US, Japan, Mexico, South America and Australia. Their work revolved around religious themes and love but the project gradually focused on the concept of Countess Elizabeth Bathory. GPKISM is the manifestation of baroque essence fused with electro/industrial sound, creating a unique world both decadent and sublime. Beginning in January 2007, GPKISM was originally the solo project of GPK. During this indie period he released one song on a European Compilation album & set up a myspace page. Kiwamu of BLOOD contacted him through Myspace and signed him to his label, Darkest Labyrinth. He released his debut mini-album "Sublimis" in Summer 2007 which had 400 copies pressed and sold out through Internet orders alone. In Autumn 2007 Kiwamu joined GPKISM. In January 2008 they re-released Sublimis for a second time with 3 new tracks and limited to 666 copies (which is sold out as of February 2009). In April Ryonai (Blam Honey) joined them as a live member when he performed with them as guest at Alamode Night 31 feat. Darkest Labyrinth and GPK provided a remix for BLOOD's "The Reaper behind me" album. GPKISM embarked on their first tour with BLOOD [Darkest Labyrinth vol.8] in Australia
