Nogod, currently stylized NoGoD, is a Japanese rock band that was formed in 2005 by vocalist Danchou. The band made its major debut under King Records in 2010.

History edit

2005-2009 edit

The band was formed in early 2005 by vocalist Danchou, under the name Shinkou Shuukyou Gakudan NoGoD (新興宗教楽団NoGoD, New Religion Band Nogod). They held their debut performance on October 19, at Akasaka L@n, with a lineup consisting of Danchou on vocals, Aki and Kyrie on guitar, Karin on bass, and K on drums.[2] On November 12, the band released their first demo single Kimi ni Okuru Bukiyou de Migatte na Uta (君に贈る不器用で身勝手な詩, A Selfish and Awkward Poem For You).[3] They spent the rest of 2005 and beginning of 2006 performing with other bands in Tokyo.

In July 2006, the members were signed under Art Pop Entertainment and released two singles, Akafukyō (赫布教, Red Propagation) and Kurofukyō (黒布教, Black Propagation) in the following month. Also in July, guitarist Aki left, but was subsequently replaced by Shinno.[4]

In April 2008, the band released their first studio album, Mugenkyō (夢幻教, Dream Teachings), which reached #6 on the Oricon Indies chart.[4]

In February 2009, the band released their second studio album, Gokusaishiki (極彩色, Richly Colored).

2010: Major Debut edit

In November 2009, vocalist Danchou announced that the band would be making their major debut.[5] On June 9, 2010, Nogod released their first major single, Kakusei (カクセイ, Awakening), under King Records. The song was used as the ending theme for Chūkyō TV's Futtonda.[6]

On August 4, 2008, Nogod released its first major album, Kakera (欠片, Fragments), in Japan and Europe. The band kicked off a one-man tour to promote their album in Taiwan[7]; they followed up the show with other performances throughout Tokyo.

Musical Style edit

The band's music ranges from heavy metal to pop ballads.[1] Songs such as Kakusei (カクセイ, Awakening) have been praised for the technical skill that the band has exhibited.[8]
