Aldious
Aldious (Japanese: アルディアス, Hepburn: Arudiasu) was a Japanese heavy metal band formed in Osaka in 2008 by guitarist Yoshi and vocalist Rami. After member changes, they released their debut EP, Dear Slave, the following year, and, soon after, formed their own record label, Bright Star Records. A stabilized line-up including guitarist Toki, bassist Sawa and drummer Aruto was established by 2010. Their first album, Deep Exceed (2010), reached the top 15 on the Oricon chart, as did their second, Determination (2011). Rami left the group in June 2012. New vocalist Re:NO joined Aldious one month later. They produced their third album, District Zero, in 2013, and it became their highest-charting release to date, reaching number 7.
Their fourth album, Dazed and Delight (2014), peaked at number 20, before Aruto left the band in September and was replaced with Marina in April 2015. Their fifth album, Radiant A, was released in December 2015, and was their first album on the VAA record label and their first released in Europe via JPU Records. Following another album, Unlimited Diffusion (2017), Re:NO left the band at the end of 2018 and was replaced with R!N in August 2019, until she, too, left in June 2021. After performing with a support vocalist for three years and Marina's departure, Aldious began an indefinite hiatus in August 2025. Aldious have been labelled pioneers of the 2010s Japanese Girls Metal Band Boom.
