The melodic death metal band started back in 2009 in Hokkaido, under the name Suicide Heaven, but then they moved to Tokyo, changed their name to GYZE and that was when things started to get serious for them. Their first full length was released in 2013 by an Italian label and their second album from 2015 also got an international release and at home they are signed to Virgin / Universal. They visited Europe for the first time in 2015 and around the same time they were already supporting such huge names as DragonForce or Children Of Bodom back in Asia. They visited Europe again last year and now they are back on their longest EU tour to date, supporting the Finnish Battle Beast and Germany’s Majesty, visiting 35 cities! The tour already started on the 2nd of March, but they will be on the road till the the 9th of April, so check the complete list of dates at the end of the post!

They are also coming out with a new album, Northern Hell Song, that they recorded up North, in the cold and icy Hokkaido and while it will be released only on the 29th of March, the song previews are already available on youtube, along with a music video for the title track:
