Biography

Eight was formed by Nachi(ex-Werkmare) and Kyoutarou(ex-Volark) in 2004, who were soon joined by Mukku(ex-Werkmare) and Mitsuru(ex-ArcAdiA). Soon after the formation they released two Demo-CDs, followed by another Demo-CD in 2005 as well as several DVDs and contributions to V.A.-releases.

In 2006 they released their first album, Illational, which was co-produced by Kenzi of Anti Feminism. At the end of the year they released two more DVDs which showed their tour finals in Sapporo.In 2007 the band was joined by guitarist Ryo(ex-Since1889). They spoke of releasing a new album in late 2007, but this was never realised due to vocalist Kyoutarou leaving the band in December to join Black:List.Since then there hasn't been any news on the band.
