Starting in 2012 as an 5 member all female heavy metal band in Fukuoka, releasing their first single in 2012 which was followed by their first EP called Overturn The Doom and a dedicated following as they toured throughout Japan. When their song Light in the Dark came out it wasn’t long before international audiences discovered their music and their following only grew larger among the hard rock and metal audience.
With COVID, Bridear could only play Japan for the longest time but with the changes in the world and things opening back up they announced a European tour. One especially hitting The Melkweg in Amsterdam on October 1st, which is next week!!
When they released their first full length album BARYTE in 2016 their fame only grew more due to their professionalism and how engaging their live performances were and they made their way to Europe the following year for performances and showing at conventions such as Made in Asia and Mondocon, touring 11 countries really settled their fan base in Europe and becoming a major label act in Japan.
Ultimately signing with UK-based label SETSUZOKU RECORDS in 2021 and releasing their latest album Expose Your Emotions on May 7th at the same time as releasing their album Bloody Bride, which is their very first international release.
