AION

Aion is a Japanese heavy metal band from Osaka, formed in 1983 by guitarist Izumi. Aion are considered to be important to the formation of visual kei, credited as being one of the bands to start the movement in the early 1980s. They were also one of the most successful Japanese metal bands of the early 1990s, charting on the Oricon music chart and touring with big bands such as Luna Sea. As of 2010 they have released 15 full albums, 6 singles, 2 EPs and more than 10 VHS/DVD. Following the April 2017 departures of longtime bassist Dean and vocalist Nov, Izumi continues Aion as the only official member.
