Imperial Circus Dead Decadence
Entering the scene in 2007, Imperial Circus Dead Decadence is a Japanese doujin death metal band famed for their symphonic and melodic sound, having featured in venues such as Shibuya Milkyway, Shibuya Cyclone, RedruM Fest 2017 and more.
Rising to prominence in the osu! community on the back of Kite's iconic beatmap of Uta ranked in early 2016, they have quickly snared the hearts of osu! players worldwide, their music held aloft atop the pinnacle of player skill attainment.
Historically the playground of some of the most difficult beatmaps osu! has ever seen, Imperial Circus Dead Decadence's sound loans itself effortlessly (and almost exclusively) towards higher level mapping, sporting all of the rhythmic and melodic complexity such creativity requires, complete with the classic percussive variance of the death metal style and accentuated further by syllabic Japanese vocals.
殯――死へ耽る想いは戮辱すら喰らい、彼方の生を愛する為に命を讃える――。
腐蝕ルサンチマン、不死欲の猿楽座。
黄泉より聴こゆ、皇国の燈と焔の少女。
狂おしく咲いた凄惨な骸は奏で、愛おしく裂いた少女は聖餐の詞を謳う。
