About a band : Angel Heart

Now, after a (not too) long hiatus, I'm back, ready to post a new band here. They are not too new though, but I'd just find out about some weeks ago. They are Angel Heart

They are a Visual Kei band in 90's era so, if you like Syndrome, After Image, and some other 90's Visual Kei bands, you may check about this band because they sound good. This band is one of rare Visual Kei bands which is existed in Korea. Sadly, there is no news about them anymore and they just disappeared. Too bad.

And about their songs, I find some in yt and just fall in love with them. This one is the first song that I've heard from them and I think the vocalist has a slight similar voice with Riku

Not bad, huh? This one is truly my favorite. If you don't pay attention a lot, you may think this is a song from Japanese 90's Visual Kei bands (just like me who later understand that he speaks Hangul)

I put some description about them from lastfm :

 Angel Heart was formed in the year of 1999, becoming Korea’s first ever major visual rock band, inspired by the early visual kei scene of Japan. Consisting of four members at the time, Sopia [currently named Kaiser], Serra, Ruiza, and Jimmy spearheaded a revolution in the music industry by introducing their own unique sound and lending a hand in raising the popularity of rock music in Korea.

On March 8th of 2000, Angel Heart’s first mini album, Poem of Angel was released, which included six tracks excluding a filmed bonus, two music videos and two instrumental tracks. The featured songs, Scarlet Eyes and Desire Love received the most attention from the mini-album, but the band itself was not gaining enough attention to be publicly recognized on a wide scale. Mention of them was swiftly diminishing over the next couple of years, and in 2001, Serra, Jimmy and Ruiza left Angel Heart due to military service and school-related issues, leaving vocalist Sopia by himself.

Afterwards, Angel Heart would undergo a prolonged hiatus without the slightest mention of future activity or even a new reformation of the band. Finally, three years later in 2004, Sopia discarded his name for a new one, Kaiser, and revived Angel Heart with five new members— Kaero, Dan, Kuma, Jiruji, and Horyong. With this, their second album, Rebirth, was released under the Kaiser Empire label on the 23rd of June, bearing fourteen complete tracks without any additional video footage or music videos. Additionally, Rebirth came out in two different types; Part 1 [white release] and Part 2 [black release]. The significance of the separate titles lies in two tracks of the fourteen on each album. The white release features two songs of a sweeter, lighter melody, Paradise and Forenoon, while it’s counterpart, the black release, bears Spilled Blood and Fade Heart; both of a much more dark nature. Rebirth proved far more successful than Poem of Angel, and allowed Angel Heart to engage in activity across the country once more as the band was in high demand after such improvement and absence from the public stage. Shotgun, the featured track of both versions of Rebirth received a lot of positive responses and was performed in the majority of Angel Heart’s concerts after the music video was also embraced.

Since then, mention of Angel Heart had spread to countries outside of Korea, and distribution of the albums were added to international online media stores such as yesasia.com, one of the most widely used net shops for asian and western media. Although information of the band remains very scarce [as the rock music in Korea is not quite as vast as pop, ballad or R&B] the availability of their work through these stores along with the devotion of their worldwide fans still keeps their name alive to this day.

Based on the explanation above, it's clearly that the band has two phases, considering the changing of the members. First phase, when Angel Heart consists of Sopia, Serra, Ruiza, and Jimmy.

and the second phase, when Angel Heart consists of Sopia/Kaiser, Kaero, Dan, Kuma, Jiruji, and Horyong.

I played this on PIU like thousand? but, I grow attention for this song and who's sing this song lately (well, i'm a bit ignorant). This song belongs to Novasonic. One of Korean rock/rap/metal that finally I knew ever existed.

Yes. It's them.
And as I read in lastfm,

"Novasonic is a Korean rap/rock/metal band. Its members are SeHwang Kim on guitars and vocals, SuYong Lee on drums, YeongSeok Kim on bass and vocals, HyunSup Lee singing vocals for their fourth album, and JinPyo Kim providing rap and vocals for their first three albums. Their first album (Novasonic 1/Sonus) was released in 1999, their second (Novasonic 2/Slam) was released in 2000, their third (Novasonic 3/Home) was released in 2001, and their fourth (Novasonic 4/Han) was released in 2003.

They provided the song “For Adun (Protoss’ Theme)” on the Starcraft game soundtrack, Starcraft Game Music Vol.1, in 2000. Their song “Another Truth” from Novasonic 1 and “SLAM” from Novasonic 2 were popular in the game Pump It Up. In 2002 they released a two-disc set called “1999-2002 Novasonic Remastering” which included many tracks from their first three CDs as well as two live songs, a remix of their song “Empire of the Sun Last Vatalian,” and a version of “For Adun (Protoss’ Theme)” that did not include sounds from the Starcraft game. They also released a live CD/DVD.

They have been described as a “Korean Rage Against the Machine.”
Their three instrumentalists are also part of the music group N.EX.T (New EXperiment Team).

“Along with his musical prowess, Kim himself is considered a diplomat in the Korean rock world. Because of his exceptional English and Korean, he often acts as an interpreter for Western musicians performing in Korea, such as friends Steve Vai and Joe Satriani."

Oh, wow. Never thought gonna meet this awesome band in PIU and this band is enlisted in my-mostwanted-Koreanband, right after I found some of their samples on youtube. Badly, they don't release another album after Han in 2003, which is bad. For me. Who just know about them. And want some more songs.
I'll put their latest song here, so you can hear more about their songs and have your judgement.
