聖飢魔Ⅱ

SEIKIMA-II (spelled as 聖飢魔II in Japanese) is a Japanese heavy metal band formed by Damian Hamada (ダミアン浜田) in 1982. They disbanded on December 31, 1999. However, a reunion took place in 2009, with the release of their AKUMA NATIVITY ”SONGS OF THE SWORD” album, and in 2010 they will be embarking on their first ever world tour. On June 30, 2010, the band released their newest album AKUMA RELATIVITY on 19 European iTunes stores.

SEIKIMA-II (read as "seikimatsu") translates to "The End of the Century". Their history, as it has been prophesized, is that they are a group of demons preaching a religion in order to propagate Satan through the use of Heavy Metal. Each member is a demon of a different hierarchical class with His Excellency Demon Kogure (デーモン小暮) being leader of demons and His Majesty Damian Hamada (ダミアン浜田) being the "Crown Prince of Hell". In accordance to the prophecy and after completing the world conquest, the band would disband at the end of the century on December 31, 1999 at 23:59:59.
