They were one of few Japanese metal bands who had international exposure in the United States during the eighties.[1] Originally disbanded in 1990, Dead End reunited in 2009 after almost two decades. Although they achieved only limited commercial success in their homeland, Dead End had a significant impact on its rock scene, influencing numerous musicians in, or related to, the developing visual kei scene in the 1990s. Specifically, Morrie who inspired the visual appearance and rough vocal style of many prominent singers. History1984–90: Formation to disbandment{{Quote box| quote = "The name Dead End to us implied that we will be the last of something. Nothing like us would come after us, really the end, definitive." | source = —Morrie, on the band's name.[2] | width = 25% | align = left | style = padding:10px; }} Dead End was formed in December 1984 by singer Morrie and guitarist Takahiro, both previously in the band Liar, bassist Crazy Cool Joe coming from the band Rajas, and drummer Tano from Terra Rosa.[3] They had their first show in March 1985, at the Osaka Bourbon House in front of almost 500 people.[4] In 1986, they went on a nationwide tour called Dademonium Break Tour '86 Vol.1, after which guitarist Takahiro left and was replaced by You from Terra Rosa. In June they released their first records, the singles "Replica" and "Worst Song" on the independent label Night Gallery.[3] Followed by their debut album Dead Line on June 30,[3] which sold 20,000 copies, a rare achievement for a "house" band not yet signed to a major label.[3] To commemorate the release of the album, the band played the Osaka Bourbon House again, and this time had a crowd of 800 people.[4] In 1987, drummer Tano left the band due to poor health, just before Dead End signed to major label Victor Entertainment.[3] He was replaced by Masafumi Minato from Saber Tiger after an audition held in May, completing the "classic" line-up that remained until their disbandment.[3] On September 8 the band released their most successful album Ghost of Romance, which reached No.14 on the Oricon chart.[5] At the end of the year Dead End signed with the American label Metal Blade Records for releases of Ghost of Romance and their next album. Ghost of Romance was released in December, and although it didn't enter the charts, it received a very good review in Kerrang! magazine.[6] On May 21, 1988 Dead End released their third album Shambara, followed by their first major single "Blue Vices" in December.[5] That same month Psychoscape, a live video recording from their concert on September 24 at Shibuya Public Hall, was released. Shambara was released in the United States on September 1, and like the previous album it did not chart but received good reviews.[5][7] Though music videos of "Danse Macabre" and "Blue Vices" were airing on MTV's Headbangers Ball television program,[2] and their songs had decent airplay on rock radio stations,[6] Morrie notes that "it just happened" and he "was not conscious of the US at that time."[2] The year 1989 started off with the band signing to major label BMG Japan, and they soon went to London, England to write songs and record video material until May.[8] At this time their style changed, with the music being softer than their previous releases.[8] On July 9 they held a concert in Shinjuku called Standing Convention Gig, where many new songs were played, that same month their second major single "So Sweet So Lonely" was released .[8] On September 21 they released their fourth album Zero, in October they went on a live club tour and in mid-November a concert hall tour.[8] It was this year when they started getting major exposure and promotion on TV. At the year's end they released their second live video Hyperd., which was recorded at their concert at Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall. However, after a concert at the Nakano Sun Plaza on January 21, 1990, Minato left Dead End and the members decided to disband.[8] On April 21 the single "Good Morning Satellite" was released, and on July 21 a self-titled live album recorded at their last concert was released.[8] 2009–present: Reunion and current activitiesOn July 3, 2009, after almost 20 years, Dead End announced they would reunite on August 15 at Jack in the Box 2009 Summer at Makuhari Messe.[9][10] On October 1, a new album titled Metamorphosis was announced for release on November 11 by Danger Crue Records.[11] Also released was a remastered release of Dead Line (also available in a limited edition including a DVD from a concert in January 1987 at Osaka Manichi Hall),[12] SHM-CD releases of Ghost of Romance and Shambara, and reissues of Zero and Dead End on Blu-spec CDs in December, all with bonus tracks.[12] They went on to perform sold out concerts on November 17 at Osaka Big Cat and November 20 at Shibuya-AX, which Minato chose not to participate in.[13][14] He later ceased to take part in the reunion altogether, with Shinya Yamada (Luna Sea) being support drummer before Kei Yamazaki (Venomstrip) took over the role.[15] On March 20, 2010, Dead End performed on the second day of the Rock May Kan venue's 30 anniversary concert Legend of Rock May Kan at JCB Hall, along with D'erlanger and 44 Magnum.[16] Two days later, they performed at the concert Third Devour at Namba Hatch in Osaka, the third in a concert series called Four Wizards Night-Crawling, joined by Gastunk, Pay Money to My Pain and Cocobat.[17] In August, they performed at Rock in Japan Festival 2010 in Hitachi Seaside Park and Jack in the Box Summer 2010.[18][19] In 2011, from January 22 to February 8 Dead End supported Acid Black Cherry on a Zepp tour.[20] On August 8 they hosted a charity concert titled Fourth Devour at Shibuya O-East, where themselves, Pay Money to My Pain and Lynch. performed. All proceeds were donated to the victims of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami.[21] In October they held a three-date tour called Death Ace 2011,[22] with the final concert at Shibuya O-West on October 13 being broadcast live worldwide via Ustream.[23][24] On October 23, they performed at the V-Rock Festival '11 held at Saitama Super Arena.[25] On November 9, Dead End released their first single in over twenty years, "Conception", the first in a three-month series of consecutive releases.[26] The second "Final Feast" was released on December 14, with the third "Yume Oni Uta" out on January 11, 2012.[27] On the day of the third single's release, Dead End announced that their sixth studio album Dream Demon Analyzer would be released in March, and that the band will go on a nationwide tour, which ended on May 2 at Akasaka Blitz.[28] On September 16, the band held a concert titled Kaosmoscape at Shibuya Public Hall to celebrate the 25th anniversary of their major label debut.[29] A live video recording of the concert was released on December 12, 2012.[29] A tribute album to the band, titled Dead End Tribute - Song of Lunatics -, was released on September 4, 2013. It features many well-known artists, including Kiyoharu and Hitoki of Kuroyume, Hyde and Tetsuya of L'Arc~en~Ciel, Sugizo, Ryuichi and Shinya of Luna Sea, Yasu with Janne Da Arc members, Baki of Gastunk, Marty Friedman, members from Dir en Grey, La'cryma Christi, Versailles, Boris and many more.[30][31][32][33] The album charted well, reaching No. 10 on Billboard Japan and No. 11 on Oricon.[34] In 2014, Dead End performed abroad for the first time at Japan Music Fest on July 6 at the Olympia in Paris, France.[35] The following year, they performed at the first night of Luna Sea's Lunatic Fest on June 28, 2015 and went on their own Witch Hunt Tour 2015.[36] Music style{{listen| filename = Dead End - Danse Macabre.ogg | title = "Danse Macabre" | description = A hard rock song from the album Ghost of Romance. | filename2 = Dead End - Serafine.ogg | title2 = "Serafine" | description2 = A pop rock song from the album Zero. }} Dead End, both in local and in Western media, was seen as a non-typical metal band whose music is hard to categorize.[5][6] Allmusic author Eduardo Rivadavia, wrote that they're a "prototypical Japanese melodic heavy metal band",[37] while in the '80s Kerrang! magazine review on Shambara, their music was described as similar to those of the English bands The Mission and The Cult, whose music takes cues from hard rock, gothic rock, and post-punk.[5] In the same review, Morrie's vocal style was described as an intermediate between Graham Bonnet and Wayne Hussey.[5] Also in the year before their disbandment Dead End's style changed, with the music being softer and poppier in sound than their previous releases.[8] Although opposite of the media, Morrie doesn't think of Dead End as a metal band.[2] On the question "If there was one single song that best showcases the soul of Dead End" You said he's fond of some songs, but doesn't think there is a song that showcases Dead End, while for Morrie it is "Song of a Lunatic", that "is a look into the abyss, the back of my head".[12] The majority of the band's catalog of music is written by You, followed by Morrie, and then Takahiro, who wrote seven of eight songs on the first album.[3] Morrie is responsible for all the lyrics, which are mostly in Japanese with some English lines, and contributed three songs on the second,[6] and four (two with the band's producer Hajime Okano) on the fourth album.[8] Joe composed one song in each of the first three albums, and they all showcase the bass. The band usually does not discuss their ideas on sound and style, yet Morrie says, "we individually do what we want to do based on the songs that You creates, even if it destroys the original concept of the song".[2] In regard to band's music and lyrics, Morrie described them as explosive and outward with an incentive kind of a death drive.[38] InfluenceMorrie's way of singing in the early years of Dead End was influenced by Ronnie James Dio, from whom he "learned how to crush the treble pitches", and by Baki of Gastunk, "who influenced him to establish his own style", leading to a combination of clean and distorted vocals.[39] However, he claims his present way of singing and vocal approach are quite different now.[2] Dead End had a significant impact on the Japanese rock scene, influencing numerous musicians in, or related to, the developing visual kei scene in the 1990s, including; Sugizo and Shinya from Luna Sea,[40][41] Tetsuya and Sakura from L'Arc-en-Ciel,[40] the latter being a roadie for them in 1989,[42] Hiro from La'cryma Christi,[40] Yuana from Kagerou,[40] and Hitoki from Kuroyume.[30] Morrie also inspired the visual appearances and rough vocal styles of Ryuichi from Luna Sea,[43][44] Hyde from L'Arc-en-Ciel,[44][30][45] Yasu from Janne da Arc and Acid Black Cherry,[40][45][44] Kiyoharu from Kuroyume,[45][44] and Aki from Laputa.[46][9] Members
