History

[edit]

The band was founded in 2005 by bassist Hibiki in Tokyo. He was joined by vocalist Fuki, keyboardist Mao, guitarist Hide and drummer Ryo. The band's name is a reference to Lucifer. In 2006 and 2007 Light Bringer released three singles: "1st Demo", "Overture" and "Episode".[2]

Light Bringer debuted with an EP titled "Heartful Message",[2] released via Black-listed Productions.[1] Guitarist Hide was replaced by Kazu. The band's first full-length record, Tales Of Almanac, was released in 2009. Their second album, titled Midnight Circus, was released in 2010.[2] They were signed to King Records in 2011.[1] That same year, Kazu left the band. Light Bringer's third album, Genesis, was released via King Records in 2012.[2] It was ranked No. 28 at Oricon's albums chart.[3]

Drummer Satoru and guitarist Seiya left the band. JaY and Hideaki Yumida joined in 2013.[2] Their fourth album, titled Scenes of Infinity, released in 2013, was ranked No. 29 by Oricon,[3] and their fifth, Monument, released in 2014,[4] was ranked No. 26.[3]

On December 21, 2014, Light Bringer went on an indefinite hiatus.[5] Fuki continues to perform with Unlucky Morpheus and Doll$Boxx.[2] Hibiki and Yumida both joined Mardelas.[6] JaY left Light Bringer in 2018 to officially join Matenrou Opera, whom he had been supporting since 2016.[7]
