about
Madmans Esprit is a South Korean black metal band and solo project of vocalist Kyuho, formed in 2010 in Seoul. Their unique genre is described as "Depressive Suicidal Blackened Pop". Madmans Esprit's debut album NACHT, a sinister melange of various Black Metal subgenres with Shoegazing guitar melodies and Korean Folk undertones was released through the Italian cult black metal label ATMF in 2014 and praised by scene critics. Four years later in 2018 the project started to gain more attention outside of the black metal realm with the release of their second full-length album Conscientization of Unconsciousness through Gan-Shin Records, the European home of Visual Kei legends like DIR EN GREY, lynch. and MUCC. While Conscientization of Unconsciousness is still based on DSBM, it incorporates a much broader spectrum of influences like Post-Punk, Indie-Rock and even Grind-Core and Classical music in its tight knit meshwork of depression and ecstacy. In spring 2019, together with their first headlining tour in 6 European countries, the project released their EP, Glorifying Suicide. By introducing a lower tuning, the release shows a more aggressive side than its predecessor, illustrating topics like self-reflection, art and propaganda. In autumn 2019 the band toured Asia with their single Seoul, reflecting the darkness of Korea by combining the most pop friendly and the most brutal sound of the band’s history to date. One year later Madmans Esprit released the single Jahaewa Haeb
