Esprit D'Air

In 2010, Esprit D'Air met in London and started out as a band. The line-up at this time was: Bass – Erisu, Drums – Daishi, Guitar – Kaito, Vocals – Yosh.
Due to members returning to Japan, they disbanded in 2013.

Reformed in 2016, Esprit D’Air is an electronic rock & space metal band based in London. Led by vocalist, guitarist and producer, Kai, their sound is unique and fresh in its ability to fuse hard-hitting aggression with melodic interludes and blistering guitar solos.

Esprit D’Air garnered a cult following with their charismatic performances reminiscent of a young X Japan, and a style that can only be described as: “Shibuya meets Sunset Strip”! They were the first Japanese-language band to appear on the videogame, Rock Band 3 for the Xbox 360.

The band are not seeking a major record label, but instead follow a strong DIY ethos and produce everything themselves to be as self-sufficient as possible. Consequently, they record, mix and master their own releases in their own home recording studio and produce the artwork themselves.

In 2018, Constellations was awarded Best Metal Album at the Independent Music Awards, judged by Slayer, Amy Lee of Evanescence, and Sepultura. The award was presented at the Lincoln Center for the Performing Arts, New York.
