Ninezero supports your band!
With an Australian persona and a background in Japanese musicianship, Ninezero is the dynamic singer of his self-titled band. A native of Sydney, he has been based in Japan since 2003 and adapted the Japanese pronunciation of his real name when he formed a new unit from former band, Raiden, simultaneously and unwittingly ushering in a new genre for metal in Japan: hybrid bands with Japanese and non-Japanese members. Ninezero on vocals commands both the audience and the stage when he performs live and leads a quintet of eastern promise with Kentaro Takada (Lead Guitar), Dee (Lead Guitar), Yu (Bass) and KK (Drums). The band currently has independent releases in Japan on Outbreak Records and WeROCK Records, but more importantly is highly in demand as a studio singer for the major companies in Japan of Konami, (developers of the Metal Gear Solid game), Asahi beer, Sega, Nintendo and Namco.
Raiden’s debut mini-album Sound of Thunder (2006) was distributed through HMV, Disc Union and Tower Records in Japan on Tribal Agency Records and garnered favorable reviews in BURRN! Magazine along with several other independent publications. The CD featured six songs ranging from metal to rock and had a unique sound that carried a very raw and energetic ambience, thrilling hard-rock and metal many fans alike. Two songs from the album, the ballad, Crawling Back and head banging anthem, Social Window are currently being used on the Japanese classic rock website, WeROCK CITY as background music to interviews with the world’s finest rock stars.
A second mini-album, The Beginning (2008) veered more towards metal but still had a seasoning of hard rock. Again it was reviewed in BURRN! Magazine and again received kudos from Japan’s metal journalists, describing it as ‘wild and aggressive metal’. It also received attention in several international publications such as Laermbelaestigung Zine in Germany. Dance With the Devil and Rock City (currently used as the anthem on the WeROCK City website) show the hard rock side of Ninezero while Nine Seconds Till I Die features melodic twin guitars, aggressive vocals and has become a new stage favourite along with I Hate You Hate Me. Ninezero re-recorded one track, Social Window from the Raiden CD: it’s faster and showcases the amazing ability of the drummer.
More recently, Ninezero has just completed a tour as special guests to Hemlock (Las Vegas, USA) on their own debut tour of Japan and is now in pre-production for his first full-length CD available for labels outside of Japan in 2009. The music will take the ‘wild and aggressive metal’ sound even further while still keeping his respected and recognized, hard rock attitude. Ninezero is looking forward to 2009, a new album and riding the crest of a new wave of bands coming from Japan. Consider this a tsunami warning.
