Biography

Gargoyle is a Japanese thrash metal band formed in Osaka Prefecture in 1987. The band was formed in July 1987, led by vocalist KIBA. After some changes in members, they started musical activities in earnest in November 1988. In April 1993, they signed for the major label Nippon Columbia, and released three studio albums  and two compilation albums. From 1996, they went back to indie. In 2017, they marked their 30th anniversary since the band's formation. On 6 September 2018, KENTARO, TOSHI, and KATSUJI left the band with a solo live show “美しき時代”(beautiful days). In January 2019, KIBA started UNDER GARGOYLE. Taking 34th anniversary in July 2021, they will act as Gargoyle again.
