D'espairsRay: Interview with Hizumi at Taste Of Chaos

Asbury Park Convention Hall - Asbury Park NJ, United States - March 15, 2008
by Kristin and Kathryn Biskup



D'espairsRayMy sister and I arrived at the Asbury Park Convention Center over two hours early and were surprised to see a line for the Rockstar Taste of Chaos was already forming. It was not until we were in the catacombs of backstage that we saw how the line extended across the boardwalk of Asbury Park. This nationwide tour featured many popular American bands, but what made it unique was its integration of Japanese Rock bands. Avenged Sevenfold and Atreyu had a large fan following, but MUCC, The Underneath, and D'espairsRay were the Japanese bands that had a great turn out as well. Proof of this was at the JROCK signing where the line for autographs stretched from one side of the building to the other.

D'espairsRay has been gaining fans and recognition so I jumped at the opportunity to be involved in an interview with the vocalist, Hizumi. With the help of a translator, we briefly touched on topics from music to tour experiences.
