The group has been active since 1996 and has done its rounds around the doujinshi/indies music circuit. Its earliest releases are very hard to find. It did however, gain exposure from 2005 onwards with the release of its album Stigma and has since gained popularity through the use of its music in various media.
Yousei Teikoku's sound is very German, gothic and industrial. Yousei Teikoku merges heavy guitars and fantastical story telling. Yui's voice is not the typical growling associated with metal/hard rock, she carries an ethereal and siren-like quality as she flits gracefully through Tachibana's compositions. Their music combines elements of electronic, ambient, heavy rock, neoclassical, gothic, industrial and anison.
When she's not being Fairy Yui and claiming to be 4325 years old, Yousei Yui (Yui Itsuki in the real world) is a voice actor and a massive nerd. She has three computers - one of which she built, coded her personal website and Yousei Teikoku's website and voraciously on top of technology and massive video game player.
The other members of Yousei Teikoku have nominated Yui to be the frontwoman of the band so that they can get on with their job of composing music. Plus even from the group's early days, Takaha Tachibana was always secretive that during lives, he would intentionally play from the back of the stage rather than stand beside Yui. Team Fairithm, the production group behind Yousei Teikoku have always been veiled in secrecy - however there is no doubt that Takaha and Yui are part of the team and take a hands on role with their music.
They released several independent albums before signing with their current publisher Lantis circa 2006. With Lantis they have released 5 full albums and 15 singles, as well as several anime/video game theme songs and soundtracks.

The opening lines of the song Hades by 妖精帝國 describe the pomegranate fruit, which is sweet and beautiful on the outside, but inside, it hides poison. The lyrics then go on to describe a night of temptation and bloodshed, as the singer battles against the forces of Hades. The chorus is a call to action, urging Hades to release its hold on the singer and to allow them to break free from doubt and corruption. The second verse continues the theme of temptation, this time with a dreamlike sequence of desire and the blooming of the pomegranate flower. The chorus repeats, echoing the singer's struggle against the forces of darkness.
The final verse sees the singer confronted by the judgment of the ancient castle and the dry, trembling earth. The tolling of the bell is a rallying cry, urging the singer to stand up to the forces of evil and to push back against the darkness. The last lines of the song describe the singer's eyes, which are brimming with tears of blood as they awake to the reality of the world.
Overall, the song Hades by 妖精帝國 is a dark and moody exploration of the struggle between light and dark, between temptation and hope, and between the forces of good and evil. Through its haunting lyrics and driving beat, it captures the listener's attention and takes them on a journey of fear and uncertainty.

English Lyrics
Yousei Teikoku ~ Hades the bloody rage
The pomegranate seeds that hid the poison are
Sweetly clad in captivating honey
Moonlit night invitation
Bloodstained chest
Struggle, mortal combat, spell, release (Hades!)
Willpower, disturb, suspicion, corruption (Hades!)
Resemblance, beauty, consideration, record (Hades!)
Punishment exposing the crime
Hades: The Bloody Rage!
In the eternal darkness, the body that was hasty is worn out
In depressed eyes, the spilling tear that is dyed a blood-red colour calls and awakens
Time of fantasy blossoming into lust
Appreciating the honey, the pomegranates bloom
Dark night of atonement
The moon that floats in the blood alcohol
Mirror reflection, pollute, chaos, destroy (Hades!)
Dye, fascination, strange, meal, going insane (Hades!)
Struggle, mortal combat, spell, release (Hades!)
Corpse, request, hopeful prayer
Hades: The Bloody Rage!
The rising old castle is the spirit's used up ruins
On dried-up land, the shaking judgement's tragedy
The informing bell resounds
In the eternal darkness, the body that was hasty is worn out
On dried-up land, the reverberate judgement's tragedy
In depressed eyes, the spilling tear that is dyed a blood-red colour calls and awakens
Struggle, mortal combat, spell, release (Hades!)
Willpower, disturb, suspicion, corruption (Hades!)
Resemblance, beauty, consideration, record (Hades!)
Punishment exposing the crime
Hades: The Bloody Rage!

@MrLimeMaster
She's so great at holding a note, something I've noticed not many Japanese singers can do due to their high rate of syllables per minute. Love it!
