nil

nil is an indie rock band formed by ex-MALICE MIZER and ZIGZO vocalist Tetsu Takano. Picking up right where he left off in ZIGZO, nil’s music is generally punk-influenced rock. However, because it was originally intended to be Tetsu’s solo project, nil grants him decidedly more room for exploration with other genres.

This creative freedom combines with Tetsu’s passionate — sometimes borderline hysterical — vocals and playfully dark lyrics to create a very unusual sound. Both depressing and humorous, frantic and mellow, nil’s music is a bizarre meshing of seemingly incompatible forces, making each of their releases undeniably exciting.
