ネガ (NEGA) // Combining vampires, horror and Visual Kei

With themes of horror, vampires and quite some gore, ネガ (NEGA) easily is the darkest artist signed to the UNDER CODE PRODUCTION label. (You might recognize this name because of it's owner KISAKI, who is probably most known for his work in Phantasmagoria, among other groups.)

The current European tour also marks the very first time here for the four members, but what do we know about these vampires, really? Despite this interview being done in a bit of a rush, I didn't want to keep anything from you.
So let's go!

-OZ- // “We just want our passports to be full of stamps!”

Starting in 2004 under the concept of “美と大敗” (Bi to Taihai) (or "Beauty and Decadence"), -OZ- have a darker and heavier visual presentation than the other bands signed to LOOP ASH RECORDS, but you won't hear their audience complaining about that.

The group released their very first album "VERSUS" in 2009, followed by "Rouge" in 2010. The latter is also the reason they're currently touring here in Europe.
This tour is their very first time outside of Japan, and we really wanted to know more about their impressions so far - among other things, of course!
