Doubt × RAZOR × SCREW Team Up for July 2026 Festival
Three legendary Visual Kei pillars are joining forces for what could be a once-in-a-lifetime event. Doubt, RAZOR, and SCREW—each a cornerstone of the VK scene across different eras—are co-hosting “Zenshin Seirei Murasaki-iro ni剃刀斬鉄 FES” (Full-Hearted Purple Razor Iron-Cutting Festival), and the web presale has just opened.
For those less familiar: these are not your typical contemporary acts. Doubt emerged from the early 2000s melodic VK boom, RAZOR carved out a distinctive niche in the mid-2000s underground, and SCREW represented the darker, more experimental end of the spectrum. That they’ve assembled under one bill signals something genuinely special—a retrospective that honors Visual Kei’s past while celebrating its enduring present.
The roster backs this up. Alongside the three headliners, you’ll find SLAPSLY, HIROTO, MizinkoFacT, Rave, BANDMENZ, 哀と凛人の無所属 (Ai to Rinjin no Musyozoku), KAKUMAY, 鮮血A子ちゃん (Senketsu A-ko-chan), DAMNED, BLAZE, MAMA., まみれた (Mamireta), and Rurunone (O.A). That’s a carefully curated mix spanning decades of aesthetics and sounds.
