After their well-received performance at Metal Matsuri last year, trance-metal pioneers BLOOD STAIN CHILD will return to the United Kingdom for their first headline show on the first day of Spring, 21 March 2020. This show will be a one night only and extra special since the Japanese band will perform with Season of Ghosts featuring former-BLOOD STAIN CHILD vocalist Sophia. It will be the first time for the two bands to share the stage. Metal band ZEROSHIKI will open the show as a special guest of this evening. The show will take place at The Underworld in London. There are regular tickets and VIP tickets available.

The heavy metal band BLOOD STAIN CHILD has had several line-up changes since the start in 2000, currently, the band consists of vocalist Sadew, guitarists Ryu and G.S.R, bassist Yakky and drummer Yasu. The band from Osaka combines melodic death metal with electronic and trance. Their latest release is their sixth album, titled AMATERAS.

The band Season of Ghosts is the brainchild of singer and songwriter Sophia Aslanides. After she decided to say goodbye to BLOOD STAIN CHILD, she decided to make her own band which is now Season of Ghosts. Last year, Season of Ghosts toured with Visual Kei band Jupiter as one of the support acts during Jupiter’s European tour. The band is currently working on new material, their latest album was released in 2018, titled A Leap Of Faith.

ZEROSHIKI was able to perform a few shows on the mainland of Europe after their European debut at Metal Matsuri. For those who missed it, they might check out our report of the show in The Hague or read the interview with had with ZEROSHIKI’s bandleader Mugi. Active since 1998, under the name Hyakushiki (百式), the band changed their name in 2005 to their current name. The band consists of vocalist Dai, guitarist Shou en bassist Mugi. Last May, the band released the music video ROU which brought them onto the next stage, performing in Europe.
