DEZERT was formed in 2011 in Japan by vocalist Chiaki, bassist Sacchan, guitarist Miyako, and drummer Sora. The group began as a session band named And Emily and later Acid Cherry King before adopting the name DEZERT and releasing their debut single "Boku no Himitsu to Reizouko" in 2012, establishing their presence in the visual kei scene. The band’s early releases, including the 2013 EP "Seishinkai no snuff film‑shū" and the 2014 album Title nashi showcased a heavy, metal‑influenced sound that earned them a modest chart position of Number 43 on the Oricon Albums Chart. In 2016, the departure of guitarist Kira and the addition of Miyako coincided with the release of Saikou no shokutaku, which peaked at Number 31. A pivotal label change occurred in late 2018 when DEZERT signed with MAVERICK, leading to a stylistic shift toward melodic rock and the release of Today (2018) and black hole (2019), the latter reaching Number 28 on Oricon. The band toured with Mucc in 2019, producing the collaborative single "Mushishi/Gachagachamukumuku". In 2021, Rainbow was issued, followed by the EP 再教育 in 2022. The most recent studio album, The Heart Tree, was released on 10 January 2024.
