HIZAKI (born Masaya Kawamura) is a Japanese guitarist, from Kyoto, Japan and began his solo-project in 2004. He was recently a member of Versailles/Versailles -Philharmonic Quintet- but now a member of a new project named Jupiter, since 2013.
He has also been a member of the bands GARNET GRAVE (1998), Crack brain (1999-2002), Schwardix Marvally (2003-2004), BURNING FIRE (2004) and SULFURIC ACID (2005-2006). After the disbandment of SULFURIC ACID he focused again on his solo project, now changing its the name to HIZAKI grace project.
In his solo project he writes and performs all the music, playing guitars, bass and keyboard, while many vocalists from other bands do support vocals for him, such as Fu-ki (ex. BLOOD), SEIJI of Brain Hacker, MASAKI of SULFURIC ACID, Maaya of 999, and Yoshi of Refiena. Support drummers are MIKAGE of Babylon/バビロン and KAI of Sherock.
HIZAKI's style can be described as heavy/power metal with Neo-Classical compositions and sometimes symphonic arrangements. His songs are characterized by fast and complex guitar-work, melodic solos, and powerful riffs and throughout the years he has developed a signature-sound for himself.
