REVIVAL OF THE ERA was a visual kei band based in Tokyo, Japan, active from 2017 to 2022. The band consisted of vocalist Noname, guitarist & vocalist Kazumi, guitarist Ryu, bassist Suu, and supported by drummer Ryo (遼). Previous members were drummer Lenon and support drummer Hibiki (響). The band was formed as a non-visual kei metalcore band in Tokyo in 2017. They wanted to play metalcore, but with some extra element. Inspiration came from the band Ice Nine Kills, which Kazumi described as a "listening movie" band with more than just instruments, incorporating a woman's scream or moving objects to create an audatory narrative. The band's moniker was inspired by a phrase Kazumi heard a frontman he liked say: "The metal scene in Japan is dead, but we'll prove that it's still alive." Kazumi wanted to breathe life back into the time when intense music was thriving in Japan, a revival of the era. Debuting with the maxi-single "Osiris" on August 17, 2017, featuring Yutaka from Yuzuriha, REVIVAL OF THE ERA soon followed with the mini-album "Rosaria" on February 23, 2018. Subsequent releases included the maxi-singles "Auset" (August 31, 2018), "ATOM" (September 13, 2019), and the collaborative single "616" with GIVEN BY THE FLAMES (March 13, 2020). The evolution towards a visual kei style was marked by the single "PR△D△" (April 20, 2020) and "ayame" (May 23), culminating in the visual kei-infused mini-album "Nephthys," featuring guitarist Cazqui, released on November 4, 2020.
