Malice Mizer is a visual kei rock band from Japan. They were active from January 1992 to December 2001. Formed by Mana and Közi, the
band's name stands for "malice and misery", extracted from "nothing but a being of malice and misery" — their reply to the question "what is

French romanticism and incorporating Gothic-Victorian aspects after several tragedies befell the band. Despite the stated archetypes, Malice
Mizer is best recognized as a thoroughly original entity.
Malice Mizer is as famous for their music as for their live shows, featuring lavish historical costumes and stage sets, short silent theatre pieces
preluding various songs, whimsical dance routines, and even a particularly notable instance of the vocalist descending to Earth (the stage) as a
fallen angel, only to ascend again at the end of the concert. Throughout their history, the band has gone through several different lineups and
three drastic image changes. « hide |
