Dead End are an alternative metal/hard rock band from Japan. Even though they only achieved mild success in their career (withthe exception of their 2009 album, "Metamorphosis", which went to #14 the Oricon charts), they are considered to be a hugeinfluence on the visual kei scene, with internationally known vocalist Hyde (of L'arc en Ciel fame) even crediting Dead Endvocalist, Morrie, as a primary influence on his vocal style. Dead End are a mixture of alternative metal, with a visual keiappearance, and a gothic overtone in their music.
