GOTHIKA, formerly known as Euthanasie, is a Japanese industrial/"Digital New Wave" band. Their 80s pop melodies and disproportional world mix and offer a majestical end result. Their "Digital Sound", which they would like every one to hear, is perfectly built with the use of samples and synthesizer.

The band is composed of andro (Vocal, programming) and #449 (keyboard & programming). The band is not only a pioneer in Japan with its goth/industrial sound, but they have also expanded their activities to Europe where they perform ocassionally. Their influences include Rammstein, Bauhaus and Orchestral maneuvers in the dark.

GOTHIKA started under the name Euthanasie in 2001 and was created by andro and n@o. After they spent two years to create their gothic romantic music and their strange sensual universe, they decided to hire #449 in 2003, whose arrival accelerated the band's activities. That very same year the band released "Savage Messiah" and in 2004, it's worthy successor, "Gloomy Sunday", came out.

The lyrics that are written by the androgynous singer are just like him: sexually perverted. In 2005, the band offered their fans a first DVD simply called I hate myself NOW!!!.

In summer 2006, Euthanasie attempted to open themselves to Europe with "Queer Chronicle", a conceptual mini-album. A few months after, the three members of Euthanasie made their way over to Europe and started their tour Delusion a go go! Europe tour 2006. They toured in many countries, introducing the European audience to their unique sound.

Shortly after, in January 2007, the band changed their name from Euthanasie to GOTHIKA. That was not the only change made, as guitarist n@o left the band around this period (May 2007) because of personal reasons.

The band works for now as a duo but they are looking for support guitarist. On September 15, 2007 they released their first full album, "120 Days Of Sodom" and Gothika went on European tour named 21 days of Sodom.

[InjuKyoshi666]

@Akumasama79 Haha I figured as much. Ah well. Anyway, if you're interested, I can get a few VK albums your way. I also know of a couple of sites where you can find just about anything you might want in terms of Japanese Underground music, one of them being the biggest Gothic Industrial label in Japan. Some of their stuff you couldn't find anywhere else. ^^
