朱

朱 (スザク／Suzaku) is a Japanese visual kei band signed to the UNDER CODE PRODUCTION label. They formed on 2011.03.01 and make a distinctly quirky and wild music. Shortly after the band's formation, their original drummer announced that he would be leaving the band. However, they were still able to successfully release their first maxi-single with no implications. Shortly after, former bassist Shigure became ill in the summer of 2011. This caused the band to go on an unofficial activity pause for almost half a year, with extremely little news flow on the band's activities (including the state of their hiatus). In November of 2011, it was announced that the band would resume activities with two new members, 絆-kizuna- and 火憐-karen- . It is uncertain if Shigure was forcibly removed from the band or if he quietly discussed his departure with the other members. Presumably he is in much better health, although no official announcement regarding his whereabouts have been made other than the fact that he has now been replaced. Since their hiatus' end, Suzaku have been a bit more active with live shows, but still a little slow in terms of releasing new material. In spring of 2012, they released a web-shop only single entitled "桜歌乱舞." Soon after, it was announced that they would be participating on UNDER CODE PRODUCTION's newer band omnibus "NEXT INNOVATORS," along with label mates Vior Gloire and Cu[be]. Since their new lineup, Suzaku's music still retains the same experimental feel, mixing rock with electronic elements and crazy vocals, but with a heavier focus on adding traditional Japanese elements to their music. In 2013, the band went on yet another hiatus around the same time UNDER CODE PRODUCTION closed. Like their first hiatus, not much in terms of a reunion was hinted at. As most of the members have since moved on to other things, it can be assumed that the band officially broke up in the same year. Since then, many of the members have been participating in various session bands including ones that have performed at the opening lives for new Kansai based record labels: King Zeeba, CRIMZON, and Rozetta.
