DAMNED dropped a live music video for their track Grimnir on April 12. The video captures the band’s electrifying stage presence, filmed during a live show at Ikebukuro Edge in Tokyo.
Flashing strobe lights set the stage ablaze. Each member of the band—vocalist Hitone, guitarists Kou and Suica, bassist Sakura, and drummer Masaya—gets a chance to showcase their technical skills and showmanship on stage. DAMNED commands the stage with undeniable magnetism, showing that the spirit of visual kei culture is alive and thriving.
Grimnir was originally released in 2022 as DAMNED’s second single. The band presented this re-recording in their ninth single Anemone, released in January 2024.
That’s not all that dropped on April 12—DAMNED’s latest single, Thanatosis was also released worldwide for digital purchase and streaming.
