Since their formation in February 2005, Sadie (サディ) has been riding a wave of success. Their style can be described as Visual Kei, a subgenre in J-Rock, that is characterized by heavy makeup. Sadie themselves use a music style consisting of heavy distorted guitar, pounding drums, driving bass, and melodic vocals. Many fans enjoy Sadie's music because of their delicate but wonderful balance between hard rock and soft melody. Although often compared to Dir en grey's aggressive style, Sadie has a distinct, heavy, and unique sound.
The original line-up of the band consisted of Mao on vocals, Tsurugi and Mizuki on guitar, Aki on bass, and Sora on drums. The band released two maxi singles, Kokui No Shita No Yokubou To, Kunou No Hate Ni Mita Hyakkei No Yuritachi, and -dekiai- in 2005. Sora left the band due to musical differences later that year. The band recruited Kei as their new drummer and soon released their first mini-album, The Trend Killer, in May 2006. Since then, the band has been successfully producing new music, rereleasing many works due to high demand. Sadie's first PV of the song "Meisai" was released along with the mini-album, THE SUICIDE MACHINE. Sadie completed their promotional tour for THE SUICIDE MACHINE in December/January with their finale, "THE SUICIDAL APPLICANTS" at SHIBUYA O-WEST. The band released their first live performance DVD for this show on 2007/04/18.
