(2002 – present)

Moi dix Mois is the side project of Mana, formerly the leader and guitarist of the influential Japanese visual kei band MALICE MIZER. He started the band in 2002, three months after MALICE MIZER disbanded. The current lineup consists of Mana (guitar), project support members: K (guitar and voice), Seth (lead vocals), Sugiya (bass), and Hayato (drums).
Mana has described the music of Moi dix Mois to be a clear mix of classical and metal but he also said he’s always looking for a music style that only he can create, mixing the beautiful and the dark and violent.
It’s difficult to classify Moi dix Mois in one genre, though their style bears resemblances to symphonic metal, gothic metal and sometimes gothic rock or industrial. Though in Japan they are tied to the visual kei scene (mostly because of Mana’s fame and not because of their style), in western countries they are associated to the Gothic scene: they are featured on gothic music magazines like Orkus and Astan and played as Midnight Act in the big gothic festival Wave Gotik Treffen in 2006.

I wish there were translations of his blog. Google Translator just doesn't cut it.

Yu~Ki being at DIS INFERO is currently a rumor. The last (official) meeting yu~ki had with Mana and Kozi was at some dinner together. Mana mentioned it on his blog.

And I, for one, prefer solitude over deus ex machina and metaphysical

I actually would be reluctant to tag as symphonic metal, as Moi dix Mois doesn't sound much like a typical symphonic metal band, like Nightwish. There is less focus on technique, more on atmosphere it seems to me, at least in the first two albums, which I prefer. And Malades, if you are going to take the time to type "pretty awful shit", why don't you elaborate for us? A silly statement like that is not real communication
