Profile

Describing themselves as "Native Cybernetic Heavy Industrial Rock", electro-industrial rock band BAAL formed in 2005 after abandoning their original name, CHRONOTRIGGER. As CHRONOTRIGGER, they had toured throughout Japan and performed at events such as Android 666, The Kobe Underground Festival and Tokyo Dark Castle.

In June 2005 the band became BAAL and performed at various events including JUNK CHILDREN: SLAVES MIDNIGHT RIOT (organised by their label, BRAIN SCAN LABORATORY, which they created with the band Despair in 2005) and Tokyo Dark Castle. Since then, BAAL have continued to tour in both Japan and Europe and have also released 2 mini-albums, a single and 3 remix CDs, as well as appearing on the compilation CDs "Darkest Labyrinth", along with bands such as Despair, BLOOD and The Candy Spooky Theater, and "Dark Waters", alongside bands including Agent Murder, Aural Vampire, SPEECIES and 2Bullet.

Thoughts

Initially, when I heard BAAL, I didn’t like them that much. Their mix of electronic sounds and harsh guitars and vocals works well, comparable to bands such as Despair and Atari Teenage Riot, but they didn’t particularly grab my attention. However, after having the oppertunity to see them live, I changed my mind. U-tarou’s voice is powerful and commanding and her stage presence is fantastic. The energy BAAL have on stage is impressive and their music really comes to life. They are quite a good band to listen to on CD, but they are a great band live and if you have the chance to see them play, I highly recommend you do!
