BLOOD STAIN CHILD was formed in 2000 by RYO (vocal, bass), RYU (guitar), DAIKI (guitar), AKI (keyboard), and VIOLATOR (drums). In August 2000, BLOOD STAIN CHILD recorded their first demo, which consisted of the songs "Silence Of Northern Hell", "Requiem", and "Legend Of Dark". The band sent that demo to a radio station and the DJ enjoyed the music so much that he recommended the band to the record label, M&I Company, who eventually signed BLOOD STAIN CHILD.
In 2001, BLOOD STAIN CHILD recorded two songs, "The World" and "Steel Flame". The first song was used as the theme song for professional wrestler, Kensuke Sasaki and the second song was used as the theme song for the 30th anniversary of NJPW, a professional wrestling group. In July 2002, BLOOD STAIN CHILD released their debut studio album, Silence Of Northern Hell. In October 2002, BLOOD STAIN CHILD was the supporting act for Dream Evil during their tour in Japan. In June 2003, BLOOD STAIN CHILD released their second studio album, Mystic Your Heart, which was co-produced by Anssi Kippo, a popular producer from Finland.
In March 2005, DAIKI left the band and was replaced by SHIROMASA in April. That same year, BLOOD STAIN CHILD released their third studio album, IDOLATOR, which takes a big leap towards mixing metal and electronica genres and which was co-produced by Tue Madsen, a popular producer from Denmark. In 2006, BLOOD STAIN CHILD signed with Dockyard 1 and released Idolator in Europe on November 27, 2006. IDOLATOR was later released in the United States through Locomotive Records on July 17, 2007.
In April 2007, BLOOD STAIN CHILD announced the addition of a new vocalist, SADEW, and a new guitarist, G.S.R. In July 18, 2007, BLOOD STAIN CHILD released their fourth studio album, MOZAIQ, in Japan, which was also co-produced by Tue Madsen. It was then released in Europe on July 20, 2007 with an exclusive bonus track "Cosmic Highway". The album introduced a more unique style and increased the use of electro elements (mainly trance) mixed with metal, creating their unique style of trance metal.
Since the release of MOZAIQ, the band has been performing live shows in Japan, Europe, and the U.S. The band is currently in the process of producing their next album. The track "ETERNAL ProtOTypE-D" was released as a demo on June 13, 2009.
On June 12, 2010, RYU announced on his official blog that SADEW withdrew from the band due to personal reasons. Drummer VIOLATOR left the band as well, in order to take care of family business. RYU stated that the band will announce its new line-up soon, and that the band will keep evolving and will continue to go strong and reach for new levels.
On July 21, 2012, SOPHIA officially announced that she is leaving BLOOD STAIN CHILD. New singer KiKi joined the band on December 3.
A notable feature of BLOOD STAIN CHILD is their tendency to incorporate both dance and trance related themes and elements into their music. The band's sound includes death vocals complemented at times by clean vocals.

Blood Stain Child Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Eins (eins), zwei (zwei), drei (drei), vier
You do not exist
The world doesn't exist
I cannot touch them
My mind is projected
Momentary relief
I dive in a new world
The image changes bewilderingly
Where do I go?
All the creation goes away from me
I see light beyond the space
No one has seen
Towards the possibility
Your voice is heard
But my voice not carried to you
Diffusing tenderness
Image of the core
I'll sail for (I'll sail for)
I see beyond the world
My imagination is embodied
My deep mind (my deep mind)
My sense unites the world
Ideal vision is refined
I send a
I send a
I send a world
I send a world
I send a world
I'll sail
I'll sail for (I'll sail for)
I see beyond the world
My imagination is embodied
My deep mind (my deep mind)
My sense unites the world
Ideal vision is refined
The song "VOID" by Blood Stain Child is a heavy metal track that explores themes of loneliness, disconnection, and the surreal nature of reality. The opening lines of the song ("eins, zwei, drei, vier") are counting in German, setting a militaristic and urgent tone. The lyrics continue with the singer proclaiming that they do not exist and that the world around them is also illusory - they cannot touch it and their mind is projected. They feel disconnected from reality and seek refuge in the "projected desire" of their imagination, where they can momentarily find relief.
As the song progresses, the lyrics dive deeper into the singer's feelings of confusion and longing. They question where to go and feel that everything around them is slipping away. However, they also see a glimmer of hope in the form of an unseen light, a possibility that lies beyond what anyone has yet seen. The singer hears a voice - perhaps the voice of a loved one - but cannot communicate back in turn, feeling the limits of their own isolation. Ultimately, they resolve to "sail" towards their own ideal vision, where their imagination and deep mind can unite the world and refine their perception of reality.
Overall, "VOID" is a complex and introspective song that deals with weighty themes of loneliness and existential doubt. The singer struggles to find a sense of connection in a surreal and shifting world, but ultimately finds meaning in their own creativity and imagination.
