JILUKA was formed in February 2015 with a four member line-up:
Ricko (vocals)
Sena (guitar)
Boogie (bass)
Zyean (drums)
JILUKA expresses a variety of emotions by combining their aggressive metal sound with diverse musical essences and utilizing striking, melodious music.
The band released three mini albums and five singles in a three year period, trademarked by an impressive musical evolution, interwoven with a musical sense indicative of the new generation.
Strongly embossed with the label of visual kei Deathcore from the start, both their growth as a band and a hybrid and metallic intensification resulted in the creation of visual kei modern metal.
Furthermore, they expanded their always energetic live performance endeavors and presented the world with their first full album "Metamorphose" in 2018. JILUKA put on a successful live show at Shibuya CLUB QUATTRO in November of that same year.
After that, they challenged themselves to take a new step forward in May 2019 with their brilliantly daring cover album "Polyhedron", which included a metal version of the nationally recognized hit song "U.S.A."
Marking their 5th year as a band with their first best-of album "XANADU" and an anniversary solo show in February 2020, JILUKA are on the cutting edge of V-Kei modern metal with divided albums "Xtopia"(2020) and "IDOLA"(2021).
In October 2022, the band launched their ultimate new flagship "Electro Gothic Metal (EGM)" sound with the digital single "BLVCK" (sound-engineered by Jeff Dunne). And their following digital singles "OVERKILL" "VENΦM"(2023), "S4VAGE"(2024), spread the possibilities of EGM. Especially music video "VENΦM" got over 1.5 million view in the first year on YouTube.
JILUKA made their first performance in the United States in October at Anime Weekend Atlanta 2023. A month later, it was revealed that they would play at Evil Live Festival in Lisbon, becoming the first visual kei band to perform in the country. Taking advantage of the festival date, the band announced their first world tour 2024 named K4RMA with five solo dates in Europe; in the cities of Warsaw, Bratislava, Cologne, Paris and London which all sold out, plus the Resurrection Festival in Spain / EVIL LIVE Fest in Portugal and a show in Los Angeles in July. Due to the success of K4RMA, they returned to Europe in September with "K4RMA - The Return", this time with 2 new countries: Italy and Finland, and finishing it with a show in China. A four-date tour in United States will begin in late October, 2024.
Now, JILUKA with EGM is taking over the world!!
