On August 6, Daylotus made their eagerly awaited debut with a stunning music video for "Vampire", a song off their six-track EP, Dadaism.
The trio was formed in 2020 and has two vocalists, TOA and Ankimo, both who add their own unique color to the band. They're accompanied by their bassist, and youngest member, Yushin. Prior to the release of their album, the band garnered attention with covers of visual kei classics as well as a reputation for their friendliness on social media.
According to Ankimo the bands name, Daylotus, was an inspiration to them - a name that TOA and Ankimo came up with together. He also mentioned that the bands Issues and Beartooth were influences for them while they were making Dadaism although he says he doesn't think there's much in the album which sounds like either band.
He says,
It's our first album, but we've been doing music for a long time, so we've had a lot of influence maybe. In the future, we have many plans. Since I am in the position of making songs, my thoughts often go into it. What I want to say is that we are not limited to metalcore.
