The band members are Kyo (京, vocals), Takumi (匠, guitar/piano), UTA (guitar/violin), YUCHI (bass) and Mika (未架, drums). Kyo has handpicked the members for sukekiyo, and all of them except for UTA has a past in Free-Will bands. YUCHI is in kannivalism, UTA was in 9GOATS BLACK OUT, and Takumi and Mika were in RENTRER EN SOI.
sukekiyo was officially presented and started its activities on December 29, 2013 although the project was formed already in late October, when the official homepage was published. The members were held secret in black silhouettes in a dark band picture, until a updated band picture were published on December 29. It was announced in beginning of November that the band was confirmed as the opening act for a SUGIZO concert at SHIBUYA-AX on December 29, and a second live performance at COUNTDOWN JAPAN 13/14 at Makuhari Messe on December 30.
sukekiyo's debut release is the single the daemon's cutlery, a one-track 7" vinyl sold exclusively to the audience of the live shows on December 29 and 30 opening for SUGIZO. The single was available through Kyo's official web shop Penyunne Zemeckis from January 2014 while supplies lasted.
On January 1, 2014 sukekiyo released the music video for "aftermath" on iTunes.
sukekiyo released their debut full-length album IMMORTALIS on April 30, 2014. It is available in three formats: a normal edition, a limited edition, and a special limited edition version exclusively sold from Penyunne Zemeckis. The limited editions both have a bonus CD consisting of remixes done by various artists and an alternate version of "aftermath" featuring キリト of Angelo. The exclusive limited edition release also has a bonus Blu-ray with live footage and music videos, and an additional booklet and t-shirt.
sukekiyo released their first mini album, Vitium, on February 4, 2015. Like IMMORTALIS, it is available in three formats. The limited edition releases feature a bonus CD consisting of vocal collaborations and a remix of "elisabeth addict" by Renholdër. The Penyunne Zemeckis exclusive limited release also adds a live set to the second disc and a Blu-ray featuring music videos, live footage, and documentary footage.

The lyrics to sukekiyo's song "hidden one" are quite cryptic, and interpretation can vary from person to person. The chorus of the song, "closet child," seems to refer to someone who is trapped or hidden away, possibly from society or even their own family. The first verse talks about meeting someone, and the excitement of a newfound love that makes one's heartbeat faster. However, this is followed by the fear of a dark and scary future, that can only be brightened by the person's embrace. The second verse has more disturbing elements, with a possible reference to incest or an abusive relationship with a father, as the singer talks about loving their father in a disturbingly sexual way.
The bridge of the song adds to the confusion, with the singer saying "I'll forget you, is that okay?" and then talking about a beautiful version of themselves that is sickened by something. The song ends with the repeating of the "closet child" chorus, and the singer saying that they themselves are the one who is trapped.
