ASTERISM is a three-piece instrumental heavy metal band consisting of HAL-CA (Gt.), MIYU (Ba.), and MIO (Dr.). All three have had a taste for music since childhood, with HAL-CA performing solo and MIO and MIYU performing as a unit of brothers, but in 2014, after meeting at a music contest, they formed ASTERISM. Armed with their exceptional technique, they have been active both in Japan and abroad since their teenage years, including appearances at “SXSW” and tours in the US and Asia. ASTERISM is aiming for global expansion with a new genre of “mass metal” that “reaches the masses, resonates, and is loved by the masses” with their meticulously composed musicality and unique pop sense.
