MALICE MIZER's first era, the Tetsu era, lasted from 1992 until 1994. Line-up: Tetsu (vocalist), Gaz (drums), Yu~ki (bass), Közi (guitar), and Mana (guitar). Gaz was replaced by Kami at the beginning of this era, and Gaz was only in the band for about a half a year.
The Gackt era followed after a one-year hiatus, beginning in 1995 and lasting until 1999. Line-up: Gackt (vocalist), Kami (drums), Yu~ki (bass), Közi (guitar), and Mana (guitar). This era was considered MALICE MIZER's "major" era, because after Voyage was released, MALICE MIZER signed to major record label Nippon columbia and released Merveilles, which is largely considered their best album. After the release of merveilles, Gackt announced his departure from the band, and in June of 1999, Kami died of a subarachnoid hemorrhage. MALICE MIZER was then reverted back into an indies status, on Mana's label Midi:Nette.
The final era featured Klaha , a classically trained opera vocalist. This lasted from 2000 until the eventual hiatus in 2001, from which it is largely believed they will not return, and many consider MALICE MIZER to be disbanded. Line-up: Klaha (vocalist), Yu~ki (bass), Közi (guitar), and Mana (guitar).
Post Projects
After his departure in early 1999, Gackt started a solo career which has been enormously successful; he is now one of Japan's top entertainers and TV personalities. Klaha started a solo career as well in December 2002; as of 2005 the status of his project is uncertain. Mana has formed his own solo project, Moi dix Mois, and simultaneously pursues a career as fashion designer for his Gothic Lolita fashion label, Moi-même-Moitié. He continues to also run his Indie record label, Midi:Nette, and is looking for bands to sign and produce. Közi has joined Haruhiko Ash's Goth/Industrial band Eve of Destiny and also has a solo project. After his departure in 1994, Tetsu has subsequently taken part in a series of bands such as Zigzo and Mega 8 Ball; his most recent being the independently released band nil. The whereabouts of Yu~ki were unknown until he briefly resurfaced in 2004 as lyricist for Közi's solo release "MEMENTO".
In 2010, the band had a brief revival during a Moi Dix Mois and Közi coupling tour. The line-up for this short revival only consisted of Mana, Közi, and Yu~ki, with Moi Dix Mois' drummer as a support member. Klaha did not show up to the performance, so Közi sang while playing guitar. "Beast of Blood" was one of the songs played. Currently Mana is still in Moi Dix Mois, Yu~ki still keeps to himself outside of the visual-kei scene, and Közi recently joined the new wave band XA-VAT.

Beast of Blood
Malice Mizer Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hageshiku modaeru honnou
Place of silence, moving shadows
Crimson eyes are strangely gleaming in the darkness
Madness starting to awake
Playful desire starving of blood
Get down, limitless night
Beast of blood
Along with the scream from the death throes
Sharp claws are shining brighter
Dually obscene breaths continues
And rips apart the silence of the night
Crossing the uplifty life
Get down, limitless night
Beast of blood
kokyuu ni karamaru chi no kaori ga
koukotsu no yoru ni tadayou
senketsu ni somaru mirai no toki
hageshiku modaeru honnou
kokyuu ni karamaru chi no kaori ga
koukotsu no yoru ni tadayou
Beast of blood
No fear, no sadness
Lofty life is tasting loneliness and eternity
And near by the target with no more life
Red drops on my greedy lips
Falls down on the freezing ground
Get down limitless night
Beast of blood
Spills blood on me 'til it fills my body
kokyuu ni karamaru chi no kaori ga
koukotsu no yoru ni tadayou
senketsu ni somaru mirai no toki
hageshiku modaeru honnou
tsumetai karada ni hotobashiru
yokubou o akai chi de uruosu
kairaku no sakebi hibiku yoru ni
surudoku myaku utsu honnou
kokyuu ni karamaru chi no kaori ga
koukotsu no yoru ni tadayou
senketsu ni somaru mirai no toki
hageshiku modaeru honnou
The lyrics of "Beast of Blood" by MALICE MIZER depict a dark and eerie landscape in which the singer is driven by their primal instincts. The song opens with the line "senketsu ni somaru mirai no toki," which roughly translates to "when the future is dyed red." This sets the tone for the rest of the lyrics, which describe a night filled with darkness and shadows. The singer is driven by their "honnou," or primal instincts, which are depicted as being "hageshiku modaeru," or violently awakening. The sense of madness and the thirst for blood are palpable, with the lyrics describing a "playful desire starving of blood."
As the song progresses, the focus turns to the "Beast of Blood" itself. The creature is represented as having "crimson eyes" and "sharp claws," and its presence is marked by "dually obscene breaths." The lyrics suggest that the beast is targeting those who are already dying, with the line "near by the target with no more life." The singer is consumed with the desire for blood, which they can taste on their lips and feel on their body. Despite the sense of danger and evil, there is also a feeling of liberation and release, as the singer revels in the "limitless night."
Overall, the lyrics of "Beast of Blood" are a vivid depiction of a dark and violent world, where primal instincts reign supreme and the boundaries between life and death are blurred. The song is a powerful example of MALICE MIZER's dramatic and theatrical style, which blends elements of rock, metal, and classical music to create a unique and haunting sound.
Line by Line Meaning
senketsu ni somaru mirai no toki
In a future time steeped in deep red blood
hageshiku modaeru honnou
Fierce instincts surge wildly
Place of silence, moving shadows
A quiet place where shadows dance
Crimson eyes are strangely gleaming in the darkness
Eyes shining eerily in the dark
Madness starting to awake
The stirrings of madness
Playful desire starving of blood
A desire for blood, ravenous and playful
Get down, limitless night
Enter a boundless night
Beast of blood
A creature of bloodlust
Along with the scream from the death throes
Accompanied by screams of dying
Sharp claws are shining brighter
Its claws glistening in the light
Dually obscene breaths continues
Two depraved breaths continue
And rips apart the silence of the night
Shattering the silence of night
Crossing the uplifty life
Transcending the fleeting nature of life
kokyuu ni karamaru chi no kaori ga
The scent of blood entwines with my breath
koukotsu no yoru ni tadayou
Drifting through this frozen night
No fear, no sadness
Without fear or sorrow
Lofty life is tasting loneliness and eternity
A grand life tasting of both eternity and loneliness
And near by the target with no more life
Close to the lifeless target
Red drops on my greedy lips
Satisfying my thirst with each crimson drop
Falls down on the freezing ground
Dripping onto the frigid earth
Spills blood on me 'til it fills my body
Blood pouring until it fills me inside and out
tsumetai karada ni hotobashiru
Running through my cold body
yokubou o akai chi de uruosu
Lust quenched with red blood
kairaku no sakebi hibiku yoru ni
The screams of pleasure resound in the night
surudoku myaku utsu honnou
Piercing instincts pulsating

Eng lyrics
The future dyed in fresh blood... my tortured senses
Place of silence, moving shadows
Crimson eyes are strangely gleaming in the darkness
Madness starting to awake
Playful desire starving of blood
Get down limitless night
Beast of Blood
Along with the scream from the death throes
Sharp claws are shining brighter
Dually obscene breaths continues
And rips apart the silence of the night
Crossing the uplifty night
Get down limitless night
Beast of Blood
The scent of blood intertwined around my breath,
Floats about the air on this night of esctasy
The future dyed in fresh blood... my tortured senses
The scent of blood intertwined around my breath,
floats about the air on this night of ecstasy
Beast of Blood
No fear, no sadness
Lofty life is tasting loneliness and eternity
And near by the target with no more life
Red drops on my greedy lips
Falls down on the freezing ground
Get down limitless night
Beast of Blood
Spills blood on me 'til it fills my body
The scent of blood intertwined around my breath,
Floats about the air on this night of ecstasy
The future dyed in fresh blood... my tortured senses
The desire gushing out of the cold body is wet with red blood
Screams of desire resound on this night... my senses throb sharply
The scent of blood intertwined around my breath,
Floats about the air on this night of ecstasy
The future dyed in fresh blood... my tortured senses

I started listening to MM in the early 2000 and always said I didn’t like Klaha era. I was so wrong back then…
@shiroi3369
I agree
