Biography
DECAYS are a Japanese band formed by DIR EN GREY’s guitarist Die and MOON CHILD’s drummer 樫山圭 (Kei Kashiyama) sometime in July of 2015. They have gone through a few line-up changes with Die, Kashiyama, and Chidony being the only consistent members.
Considering the bands radio silence since December of 2017, it’s probably safe to say that they broke up or are on a hiatus, even though no formal confirmation has been made. Although, during Die’s 2-day solo shows on his 48th birthday in 2022, he did self-covers of certain DECAYS songs.
