Profile

Originally a session band formed by Kyouka (ex Aliene Ma’riage), Tomo (ex Deflower) and Aya (ex Missalina Rei) in March 2006 for a live at Holiday Shinjuku, Deflina Ma’riage went on to be a band in their own right. Three months after their first performance, in June, Kiyo (ex Aile) joined as the band’s second guitarist. They played a secret live in July of the same year and released their first single "Kuroki Hana, Shiroki to Kyoujin no Hanayome"through Undercode Productions on August 9th, which was limited to 3000 copies.

After a few months of playing live, Deflina Ma’riage released their second single ൕ~THIRTEEN GAME~", which was limited to 2000 copies, in September. At this time, the band’s drummer, Koji, also joined.

February 2007 saw the release of their first mini-album "The Ripper", which included Deflina Ma’riage versions of "Kuroki Hana" and "SUICIDE" (previously performed by Deflower/Noir Fleurir and Aliene Ma’riage respevtively). The band played their first one man live on March 25th 2007 and continue to play lives in venues such as Harajuku Ruido and Holiday Shinjuku.

Thoughts

Being a fan of the members’ previous bands, in particular Aliene Ma’riage, I was really happy and excited to hear of Deflina Ma’riage. And I certainly wasn’t disappointed. Whilst there are elements of all of their previous bands in Deflina Ma’riage’s music, it sounds more like Aile and Missalina Rei than the others. There are also very different elements as well, such as most of DM’s music not being as dark-sounding. Kyouka’s vocals sound a little different, being more "typically VK" with none of the crazy screaming and gasping of AM, and only occasional Chaos System-esque shouting, but it works very well with Deflina’s sound and his voice still retains its destinctiveness. The two cover versions of Deflower’s "Kuroki Hana" and Aliene Ma’riage’s "Suicide" are really good, and I think the new version of "Kuroiki Hana" is actually better than the original (though I could be biased as I like Kyouka’s voice a lot). I definitely reccommend this band to anyone who likes the members’ ex-bands, Key Party bands or visual kei in general.
