Phaidia, formed in Tokyo in 1981, emerged as a pioneering force in Japan's gothic and deathrock scenes. Their music is characterized by cutting vocals, powerful drums, and guitars, drawing comparisons to bands like Christian Death and Killing Joke. Their discography includes the 1985 album "In The Dark" and the EP "Dancing Death." After disbanding in 1985, Phaidia reunited in 2014, continuing to captivate audiences with their dark, melancholic sound. ([last.fm](https://www.last.fm/music/Phaidia?utm_source=openai))
