Asriel is a Japanese rock band composed of Kurose Keisuke (Composer and Representative) and KOKOMI (Vocal and Lyrics). They are an indie group and has since released 10 indie albums and 4 commercial singles. They started out releasing their music in the doujin scene, but have since also had their music used for anime and visual novels.
The band members KOKOMI and Kurose Keisuke became acquaintances as members of LMINA Sound Art's (now known an AZE:LC). They formed their own band in May 2006, with the name written "as + real" to form as "Asriel", the origin of the group name, which is also a reference to the Islam angel "Azrael".
Asriel's activities started with participation in Comiket and the Music Media-mix Market (M3) events where they sold dōjinshi music albums. In April 2008, Asriel composed the song "Metamorphose" that was used for the anime adaptation of Monochrome Factor, song that was released as a maxi single and was their first work produced by a major label, 5pb.
inori no uta ga kono te wo surinukete ku
Epitaph wa chikaki kiroku
futari ga eran da ketsumatsu setsuna no koi monogatari
kono doa wo hiraku no wa kimi de mo
sore ijou fumikoma naide
EndlessNight... Ha... kon'ya mo mata
nagai yume ga hajimari kono mune wo shibaru
kantan ni toke nu iwamoku sai ga
『aishi tai aisa se naiã€
saguri au tabi sure chigai no uzu
touku de yogen-sha wa hijou na mirai wo tsugeru dake
sleeping beauty same kitta tetsu no tobira wa tozasa re ta
inori no uta wa mishiranu oka wo koete
Epitaph wo nagame ni yuku futari ga nozon da sentaku
setsuna no koi monogatari
kono doa kowasu beki daro u ka
sore yori mo kagi wo su beki ka
EndlessNight... Ha... kon'ya mo mata
hitori tsuki wo uran da kono kase ga nikui
kantan ni toke nu iwamoku ga
『aishi tai aisa se naiã€
meiro ni ochite kakehiki no kumon
tooku de yogen-sha wa kanse nu kao de warau dake de
sleeping beauty machigai ga koko ni nokorite kage ri yuku
