DAMNED continues to forge ahead in the visual kei scene, carving out a distinctive sound that’s all their own. On August 23, they released their fourth official music video, -STAIN-. The accompanying single -STAIN- is set to drop in September, and the music video is already available on YouTube.

DAMNED identifies as a visual kei loudcore band, and in this song, you can truly feel the powerful fusion of these two styles. Loudcore is known for its intense, aggressive energy and overwhelming volume. Combined with the dramatic vocals, emotionally charged guitar work, and dynamic rhythms of visual kei, it creates a powerhouse of sound. DAMNED seems to be mastering this blend, establishing it as their signature style.

The band’s previous single, Utsuro (虚) was released on April 19. It is available for streaming or purchase worldwide.

This winter, DAMNED launches their one-man tour, PENTAGRAM. Like the five points of a star, the tour will hit five major Japanese cities: Tokyo, Nagoya, Osaka, Hokkaido, and Fukuoka. PENTAGRAM kicks off on December 3 at Shinjuku Club Science and culminates in a thrilling finale on January 31, 2025, at Shibuya Club Asia. Watch the tour’s video trailer here.

The band has also launched an official Instagram account, where you can stay updated with the latest news! Their page features upcoming tour and release announcements, as well as new artist photos for their latest single. Check out their latest look for -STAIN- below.
