Japan-Rock > Aldious
Aldious is a Japanese all-female power metal band from Osaka, formed in 2008 by guitarist Yoshi and vocalist Rami. After a few member changes, they released their debut EP Dear Slave the following year and soon after formed their own record label, Bright Star Records. A stabilized line-up including guitarist Toki, bassist Sawa and drummer Aruto was established by 2010. Their first album Deep Exceed (2010) reached the top 15 on the Oricon chart, as did their second Determination (2011). However, Rami announced she was leaving the group in June 2012 and new vocalist Re:NO joined Aldious just one month later. They produced their third album District Zero in 2013 and it became their highest-charting release to date, reaching number 7.
Their fourth album Dazed and Delight (2014) peaked at number 20, before Aruto left the band in September and was replaced by Marina in April 2015. Their fifth album Radiant A was released in December 2015 and was their first album on the VAA record label and their first released in Europe via JPU Records. After one more album, Unlimited Diffusion (2017), Re:NO left the band at the end of 2018.
On April 20, 2019, Aldious began the national 45-date Evoke Tour with alternating guest vocalists R!N and Saki (Cyntia). Toki began temporary maternity leave from the group after their June 9 show due to her pregnancy. The remaining dates of the tour were performed with guest guitarist Narumi (Destrose). The half-Filipino and English-fluent R!N officially joined the band as full-time vocalist on August 6.
Aldious, with Narumi, performed their first international concert in Anaheim, California, at the NAMM Show on January 17, 2020.[ Toki returned to live activities with a performance on March 1. On March 18, the band released a self-cover album titled Evoke 2010–2020, which also includes a new song written by R!N. Aldious held a concert with no live audience at Shibuya Club Quattro on August 14, 2020, to celebrate the tenth anniversary of their debut, and released a second self-cover album, Evoke II 2010–2020, on September 30.
On June 18, 2021, Aldious announced that R!N had left the band after being hospitalized for depression and stress. The singer was first diagnosed in January and lost around 10 kilograms (22 pounds) as symptoms worsened. She offered to leave the band and the other members accepted her resignation. Maki Oyama performed with Aldious as guest vocalist for their rescheduled Unlash tour that started in July and ended in December, with the exception of the September 4 date, which was performed by just the four instrumentalists.
