ACME
ACME is a visual kei band that formed in 2017 consisting of former DIV vocalist CHISA and guitarist SHOGO, former ARTEMA drummer HAL, and bassist RIKITO.
The name of the band means “the vertex of evolution” and the band concept is “Delinquent boys from another world”. Well known for their post-hardcore sound and colorful “oshare” style visuals, ACME are quickly rising in the visual kei scene.
Their first mini-album release in August of 2017, “SENKOU”, sold out first press copies nationwide. ACME’s second single release “ROTTEN ORANGE” also had the track “CALL MY NAME” featured in the movie “Namae no nai onna tachi: Usotsuki Onna,” starring Mitsuru Fukikoshi.
At Anime Expo 2018 in LA, CHISA walked the AX Fashion Show runway for Harajuku fashion designers KINGLYMASK, LISTEN FLAVOR, and HYPER CORE. ACME made their overseas debut performance at Anime Milwaukee 2019 and returned in June of that year at A-Kon in Dallas. ACME headlined a tour in January 2020 in 4 cities along the US west coast.
