About BORN:
Formed in 2005 under the name Renny Amy, then later as D&L, heavy metal / hard rock band BORN is one of the most impressive and talented acts in the independent Visual Kei circuit in Japan. The band is already established in the international market, having performed in the US on several occasions. Nekocon will be their first venture into the US in 2 years, and their first since signing to PS Company Indies in mid-2010. With bouncy beats, crunching guitar riffs, and a mixture of melodic and death vocals, they are an explosion of high energy certain to get anyone off of their feet. Complimenting their dark visual style, their lyrics contain themes of loneliness, guilt, lust, and violence. The band consists of five members: Vocalist Ryoga, guitarist K, guitarist Ray, bassist KIFUMI, and drummer TOMO. To date, the band has released 1 album, 4 EP's, 8 singles, and will be supporting their newest single "PSYCHO DIVA".
