They have released two albums (Fascinating Violence (2013) and Black Bride (2015)) and one E.P (Without Hesitation, 2011). Some of their songs (and demos) can be found.
The band is comprised of three members: Ryogi (Guitar & Vocals), Shuji (Drums) and Alta (Bass). The old, former member Shogo (Bass), which was part of the band (and in Suicide Heaven), left the band in 2013 after the release of their first full-length album. The reason is unknown and no official statement from the band or any of its members have been made regarding his leave. Alta took his place soon after being featured during a live house in the same year.
For the albums Fascinating Violence and Black Bride they had a guest vocalist Claudio Ravinale (vocalist in the band Disarmonia Mundi) on most of the included songs.
Under the name GYZE, they released four full-length albums and three limited edition EPs. A fifth studio album under their new name RYUJIN was announced on 13 September 2023.

Gyze Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
you went out without saying a word
i don't know what to do
i can't stand and forget
i've thought about you since then
but i don't know what you want to do
i have screamed until i've lost my voice
why was i born?
(would you tell me?)
was i born to die?
(was i born to love?)
god knows why i was born
no matter what i said
(you never smiled)
i didn't know what to do
the pain disappeard
as time went by
but you are not here yet
i can't turn backnow
the pain disappeared
as time went by
but you are not here yet
i can't turn back now
the pain disappeared
as time went by
but you are not here yet
i can't turn back now
the pain
desire
why was i born?
(would you tell me?)
was i born to die?
(was i born to love?)
In Gyze's song "Desire," the lyrics depict the singer's feelings of heartbreak and confusion after being left by someone they loved. The song starts with the words "silent night, you leave no choice," signifying the abruptness and suddenness of the breakup. The singer is left without any explanation or closure, leading to them feeling lost and unsure of what to do next. The lines "I have screamed until I've lost my voice, if the pain goes on I'll die" portray the intense emotional pain the singer is experiencing and the fear of not being able to move forward from it.
As the song progresses, the singer reflects on their relationship and questions the purpose of their existence. The lines "why was I born? (Would you tell me?) was I born to die? (Was I born to love?)" demonstrate a deep existential crisis and despair. The singer is searching for meaning in their life and in their relationship, but they are left with unanswered questions and unfulfilled desires.
Although time has passed and the pain has lessened, the singer is still unable to move on because their loved one is not back in their life. The repetition of "the pain disappeared as time went by, but you are not here yet I can't turn back now" emphasizes the singer's longing for their ex-partner and their inability to let go of their desire.
Overall, "Desire" conveys the emotions of heartbreak, confusion, and despair in a powerful and relatable manner that resonates with listeners who may have experienced similar situations.
