Recently guitarless rock band ASH DA HERO has been visiting conventions in various countries as part of their 2025 world tour, but that doesn’t mean they’re done seeing the rest of the world. Nearing the end of the international part of their tour with the USA’s Crunchyroll Anime FanFest, the announcement went live from Envol Production for their World Tour in Europe 2026. The tour will mark the band’s first time in Europe and will consist of 8 headlining shows starting on the 15th of January in Helsinki and ending on the 25th of January in Budapest.
ASH DA HERO’s story starts with the band’s vocalist and namesake ASH, who released the albums: THIS IS LIFE and A as a solo artist. In September of 2021, ASH found a couple of other musicians to form a classic band lineup with Sato on Bass, WANI on drums and (now ex-member) Narukaze on guitar, together with a DJ/sound designer, Dhalsim, to incorporate other genres in their music. Together they released New World Order, Genesis, and their 2023 album Human, which contained the song Judgement, which featured as the second opening for the anime Blue Lock.
After three years with this lineup, the news was released that their guitarist, Narukaze, would be leaving the band. This left the band with two choices: either they find a replacement, or they would have to completely rethink their music. They opted for the latter, which caused them to land on their new theme, guitarless rock. With this new musical direction, they released a new album, which was aptly named New Chapter.
While their song Judgement may be well-known among anime fans they had also created the insert track Dimensions of the Wind for the character Langa in the anime SK8. And in 2024 they had the chance to work on a new insert track for the movie Blue Lock: Episode Nagi with their song: ‘Beast Mode’ which was also featured on New Chapter.
On the 17th of September their upcoming album is set to release which is stated to be ‘more intense, more daring, and more international than ever,’ according to their tour organisation Envol. To get a taste of what’s to come you can check out their singles VANDALISM and Botanical Dance Club as those are among the five tracks that will be included from their New Chapter concept album. The remaining tracks will also feature new collaborations like Rappagariya and GASHIMA of vocal trio WHITE JAM, which makes it very likely for their newest (22 August) single Supercritical to be a part of the album as well as it features GASHIMA.
