9Goats Black Out was an indies visual kei band. They formed in late 2007, and was essentially a solo project of frontman Ryo, who was a former member of notable indies groups like D'elsquel and Gullet. 9Goats Black Out received overwhelming amounts of praise from all over the visual community for its melancholic blend of alternative and ambient rock. In 2013, 9Goats Black Out officially disbanded, and, currently, guitarist Uta is a member of the Sukekiyo supergroup, which is fronted by Dir en Grey singer, Kyo.
