Band of the Week: 9mm Parabellum Bullet

Drummer Kamijou Chihiro from 9mm Parabellum Bullet is a graduate of a military school, and hence provided the band's name when they started out in 2004.

In 2005 and 2006, they released 2 early albums, and it's clear that they still hadn't found their own style. They were mixing up a variety of genres like punk, oldskool rock, emo.. although the foundation of their own stamp on music were beginning to emerge.

They would continue building on that basis of fast-paced percussion and released their first full album in 2007, titled "Termination". This shot them off into their first real tour, which only encouraged them to write and record another album, of which the single "Supernova/Wanderland" was released in 2008, accompanied by a third song, "Wildpitch". In October that same year, their second full album "Vampire" was released, followed by their second tour. This was also the mark of their first limited editions, which included a VIP pass and a photobook.

In 2011 they released the single "Black Market Blues", and last month, their third full album "Dawning" saw its release.
