Myproof

Myproof was formed during April of 1999 in Japan. Shimpei, Tadashi, and Tohru are the core members and they were later on joined by Kai and Yasumune on December of 2002 to solidify the line up. As most of melodic metalcore bands nowadays have contented themselves in ripping off the overly used and abused riffs of At The Gates and In Flames, Myproof have totally embraced the classic 80's heavy metal sound (Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, and the likes) and have injected it with their love for Asian pop, ballad, anime and computer games thus giving their sounds variety and complexity that their contemporaries are lacking off.

They felt that being pigeon holed or tagged as Swedish influenced melodic metalcore won't do any justice to their unique sounds, so they have created a name for it and called it as Modern Classic Style. To simply describe it, mix the technicality of the modern sound of metalcore then mixed it up with a total nod to 80's heavy metal's dual guitar harmonies and solos then add some influence of anime and video game sounds then inject it with ample amount of Asian pop and ballad style singing then you can figure out the band's complex yet very infectious music.

The line up is the following:

Vocal : Tohru Watanabe
Drums: Tadashi Doi
Bassguitar : Yasumune Miyazaki
Guitar : Kai Ohno
Guitar/Vocal : Shimpei Tarumi
