Unlucky Morpheus

Unlucky Morpheus is a Japanese symphonic power metal band formed in 2008 by vocalist Fuki and guitarist Shiren. The band released their debut mini-album, Hypothetical Box, in 2008. This early work was steeped in the dōjin community and laid the foundation for the rest of their career. Their first professionally pressed CD, REBIRTH (2009), came out the following year. It displayed a noticeable step forward in terms of their musical identity and aesthetic. Later that year, they played their first live show in Tokyo. In 2011, Unlucky Morpheus recorded their first live album during a tour that culminated at Shibuya O-EAST. The album, titled Fuyumika Tabearuki Final Lunatic East LIVE (2011), was released on both CD and DVD. The band reached a new milestone in 2014 with the release of Affected (2014), their first album consisting entirely of original compositions. Their LP CHANGE OF GENERATION (2018) became their first to chart on Oricon, peaking at number 26. Over the following years, the band continued to evolve, honing their sound with their 2022 album Evolution and the formation of the sub-unit QUADRATUM. In 2024, Unlucky Morpheus released the song "世界輪廻" as part of the soundtrack to the anime series Why Does Nobody Remember Me in This World?, which peaked at number 29 on the Japanese Top 50.
