After releasing their first single in 2012, BRIDEAR has been unrelenting. Performing across Japan, the band developed a dedicated following which continued to grow with their first EP Overturn the Doom, and the follow up hit single and popular music video “Light in the Dark.” International audiences soon discovered the video online creating a massive buzz and passionate global hard rock/metal audience.
Following the 2016 release of their first full-length album BARYTE, the group continued to perform across their home country gaining a reputation for excellent musicianship and engaging live performances. In 2017, BRIDEAR performed in Europe for the first time and appeared at major conventions such as Mondocon in Budapest, Hungry and Made in Asia in Brussels, Belgium supporting their EP HELIX. Having performed in 11 countries, BRIDEAR has worked to build their fan base in the West while becoming a major label act in Japan, attracting AVEX TRAX for their 2019 album Expose Your Emotions. On October 5th 2019, BRIDEAR performed in London at METAL MATSURI, the first all J-metal festival outside of Japan, with a stunning set winning more international fans and gaining press attention in their home country for the memorable performance.
In early 2021, BRIDEAR joined UK-based label SETSUZOKU RECORDS. The band's latest album, Bloody Bride, was BRIDEAR's first official international release. The album recieved incredible reviews from international music media, and drew the attention of such publications as Metal Hammer and Guitar Player magazine. In September 2021, The epic 8-minute prog masterpeice 'Brave New World Revisited' was then released as a digital single, encapuslating the band's incredible versatility and technical wizardry.
In September 2021, BRIDEAR became the first artist from Japan to tour internationally since the onset of the global COVID-19 situation. The tour was a triumphant return to the international stage displaying the band's bravery and will to overcome the odds and reclaim live music in a 'Brave New World'.
May 2022 will see the international release of the brand-new album Aegis of Athena—a blistering 11-track opus perfectly blending traditional heavy metal, progressive arrangements, and addictive J-rock hooks.

Bridear Lyrics

悪い夢はまだ続いてる
息をするほどに 苦しいのはなぜ
ただ終わりを待つみたいに
与えられた永いこのときに
理不尽な棘が突き刺さる
君がいつだって欲しがった永遠は
零れ落ちた未来が
色を失くして動き出す
取り残された昨日の
戻らない罪を
味わうように夢を見る
答え見付けるまで
確かめたくて 忘れたくなくて
過ごした日は嘘じゃないと
何も映らない鏡に
滲んだ赤い瞳拭ってくれた
いつか奇跡起こると信じた
でも運命は容赦なくて
あの日愛を見つめた瞳には
僕が確かに映っていた
絡みついた罰と
深い闇にまた沈んでいく
未完成なシルエット
返らないと知る
思い出せない君の声
冷たい雨が降る
行き場のない悲鳴が
この願いを蝕んでいく
ただ1つの証を
継ぎ合わせた未来が
弱い僕らを嘲笑う
嘆きは灰となる
戻らない罪を もっと
味わうように夢を見る
永久に眠るまで
