GOTHIC METAL GROUP YOUSEI TEIKOKU TO PERFORM AT ANISONG WORLD MATSURI AT OTAKON 2017

Washington, D.C. (March 28, 2017) –  The Anisong World Matsuri at Otakon 2017 in Washington, DC, August 11-13 will feature gothic metal band Yousei Teikoku. The announcement was made via video by T.M.Revolution on behalf of the organizers..

Known for their gothic lolita stylings and unique blend of heavy metal, classical, and techno, the group has more recently begun performing overseas; this will be their first visit to Otakon.

“We wanted another strong female vocalist in the mix. There’s so much energy in their performance and a ton of drama and style.” said Jim Vowles, Department Head of Music Projects.

ABOUT Yousei Teikoku: Yousei Teikoku was founded on the idea that humanity’s dwindling belief in fairies must be reversed in order to bring back the purity in people’s hearts. It was in year 1997 at Nagoya where the princess of the Fairy Empire, Yui (vocals) first grouped with Takaha Tachibana (guitar) and named themselves “Yousei Teikoku Dai San Gakutai.” Yousei Teikoku is the shortened name. They then scouted three members in Midgard, Nanami (bass), Shiren (guitar), and Gight (drums). The band merges heavy and aggressive rock music with metal, classical and techno. They have performed for many anime, including “Kuusou Mesorogiwi” for Future Diary.
