SINCREA went on hiatus in March 2010 but did not disband. Rather, the band changed its name to FEST VAINQUEUER and returned on stage nine months later. The line up stayed the same until May 2012, when guitarist TOMO left the band. He was later replaced by GAKU and I’LL.
The band started its activities with the release of the self-titled mini-album, FEST VAINQUEUR, in December 2010. Between this release and the May 2011 release of the single BLAZE, they appeared in various events and projects.
In September 2011 they released the single, Hazan, and ended the year by making an announcement of a new single, Ai no Kusari. Throughout 2011 FEST VAINQUEUR also took part in some projects to help victims of the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. One of them was record label UNDER CODE PRODUCTION’s UNITED LINK for JAPAN in April. Another project was recording the single, Hitotsu Dake ~We Are The One~, for BLUE PLANET JAPAN together with members from A(ace), amber gris, Daizystripper, Dolly, Heidi., Lips, Versailles Philharmonic Quintet and Wizard.
In March 2012, the aforementioned Ai no Kusari was finally released. Two months later, FEST VAINQUEUR contributed to a cover album featuring visual kei versions of popular anime songs. They recorded a cover of SIAM SHADE’s 1/3 no junjou na kanjou from the anime "Rurouni Kenshin - Meiji Kenkaku Roumantan”. After the line up change, they released their first album, GENERATION. It contained new material as well as covers of popular songs, like Aerosmith’s I DON’T WANT TO MISS A THING and GLAY’s Kanojo no "Modern...". The album hit 4th place on Oricon’s indies charts.
For 2013, FEST VAINQUEUR has planned the FEST VAINQUEUR 2013 ONEMAN TOUR, which will end in February. They will also release a new single, TRISKELION, in March.
