About Mardelas
Mardelas is a rock/metal band formed in 2014. Current Members: Hebiishi Marina (蛇石マリナ) - Vocals Oikawa Kikyo (及川樹京) - Guitar Motoishi Hisayuki (本石久幸) - Bass Former Members: Hibiki - Bass Yumita "HOT" Hideaki (弓田"HOT"秀明) - Drums Mardelas began simply as an independent solo effort by Marina Hebiishi. Upon leaving the popular all female band Destrose in 2014, Hebiishi released her first solo single “Daybreak/Phantasia,” which shot through Oricon top 10. With the success of her single, she was quickly signed to Japan’s major label King Records Nexus which includes artist Rock/Metal artist LA GUNS, W.A.S.P., TNT, IN THIS MOMENT, EXODUS, OVER KILL, SABATON, Journey, Gus G, and Onmyo-Za to name just a few. However, Hebiishi wanted a band experience and joined forces with guitar shredder Kikyo Oikawa (ex-Sex Machineguns, Screaming Symphony), hard hitting power drummer Hideaki “HOT” Yumida (Light Bringer, ex- Saber Tiger), and bassist hibiki (also Light Bringer, Saber Tiger, ex-Silex). They debuted their major release Mardelas I in 2015, which included the hit, “Eclipse.” Mardelas II followed in 2016, and included the hit single “Thousand Cranes” and “ Kamikaze.” Mardelas expanded on their musical talent in 2018, releasing Mardelas III, with the hit “World vs. Honor,” which a movie promotional video release was utilized, showcasing the underground world of Shinjuku Kabukicho. The album also featured the track “On the Lam” showing Hebiishi’s diverse vocal talent. Mardelas III also introduced their new bassist Hisayuki Motoishi (Screaming Symphony) replacing hibiki who left to focus on his position in Saber Tiger. Hisayuki Motoishi provides a very heavy & solid traditional bass approach that compliments the full sound of Mardelas.
