Japan-Rock > Mary’s Blood
After the breakup of Destrose on New Year’s Eve 2008, vocalist Eye, guitarist Eri, bassist Niboshi (formerly known as “Kayo”) and drummer Mari later regrouped and recruited guitarist Chiba to form Mary’s Blood in December 2009. Named after the “Bloody Mary” cocktail, they released their debut single “Save the Queen” on December 20. Their first EP, 0-Zero, was published on June 8, 2011. The single “Last Game” followed on November 28 and placed on Oricon’s main chart despite being an independent band. In 2012, Chiba, Niboshi and Eri all left Mary’s Blood in quick succession.
Another Destrose alumni, Saki, was then recruited as guitarist, and the lineup of Eye, Mari, Saki and bassist Rio was finalized in September.Mary’s Blood performed their first international show in Houston, Texas at Anime Matsuri 2013. Their third EP, Azure, was released on July 10 and reached number 17 on the Oricon indies chart. The band signed with major record label Nippon Columbia and released their first album Countdown to Evolution on August 20, 2014. Its song “Marionette” was the ending theme of the TV Kanagawa show Mutoma. They performed at 2015’s Naon no Yaon festival, a rock festival held by Show-Ya that features only female bands. The band switched labels to Victor Entertainment, released their second album Bloody Palace on October 7, and began the Invasion of Queen tour on October 17.
The band supported it with the Change the Fate tour that began on October 28, and ended on January 22, 2017 with Sun-go and Hitoki as guests. JPU Records released Bloody Palace and Fate in Europe on August 18, 2017, while Fate (August 29, 2017) and Bloody Palace (October 17, 2017) were released in North America by Sliptrick Records. After switching labels to Tokuma Japan Communications, Mary’s Blood released their fourth album Revenant on April 18, 2018. Their next album Confessions was released in Japan on June 12, 2019, and became their highest charting to date. It was released in Europe on October 4. That same day, Mary’s Blood played their first show in Europe as part of Metal Matsuri in London at the O2 Academy Islington.
The band’s Conceptual Tour was scheduled to take place in May 2020, but has been postponed until August and September due to the COVID-19 pandemic in Japan. Re>Animator, a cover album of heavy metal versions of anime theme songs, was released on August 26, 2020. It features songs such as “Forever Love”, “Magia”, “Driver’s High” and “Pegasus Fantasy”. The last is sung as a duet with its original singer NoB, who has been Eye’s vocal coach for the last 10 years.
On December 16, Mary’s Blood announced that they will be going on indefinite hiatus in April 2022. The band apologized for the sudden announcement and explained that they decided to have a “recharging period” for the members to grow further and said that when they restart activities, they hope to deliver the music of Mary’s Blood in a “more evolved form.” The indefinite hiatus will begin after an April 9, 2022 concert at Toyosu Pit titled Mary’s Blood The Final Day Countdown to Evolution.
