el:cid, the band which suddenly disbanded without warning is revived in Reiwa. In their early days it has been said hat there is “no doubt” that they would be the “next big artist”, because their music were their time ahead. However sadly they disbanded, before they could make their “real” debut.
Yet in all their years of activity they performed songs that transcend the boundaries of visual kei, their music included elements of shoegazer, ambient, rock and industrial. Years after their disbandment people reacted very positive about el:cid / shigeta’s comeback. Every time shigeta shares a new song to youtube, people share wonderful positive comments.
Beside shigeta all members are retired, yet please keep an eye on shigeta, because he shares lot’s of fun old stories and time to time unreleased el:cid tracks.
ネクストブレイク間違いなしとまで言われながら、何の前触れもなく突然解散したel:cid(エルシード)の音源が令和に復活。当時からシューゲイザーやアンビエント、インダストリアルの要素を取り入れ、ビジュアル系の枠を超えた楽曲を披露していた彼ら。過去音源を発表するや時代を先取りし過ぎていたとの声も多く聞かれる。
そんなel:cid(エルシード)を改めてご紹介したい。
