Biography
Balflare was formed in 2004 by guitarist Syuta Hashimoto and vocalist Hideki Tada. Together, they began recording a demo, Sound of Silence. During the recording of this demo, drummer Isao Matsuzaki and bassist Takashi Odaira joined the band. The demo was largely well received in Japan and their career was launched.
In 2005 they released their first full length album Thousands of Winters of Flames through Hidden Maniacs. Following the release, a second guitarist was recruited, Leo Yabumoto, in order to reproduce the twin guitar leads live. After a couple of gigs in Japan, vocalist Hideki Tada left for private reasons. Eijin Kawazoe was recruited as the new vocalist.
They continued playing several successful gigs, and started recording their second full length in August, 2005. During this time they recorded the song "Out Break" for the SAMURAI METAL Vol. 1 compilation album.
In 2006 they released the album Tempest on July 26 through Soundholic. Their third album Sleeping Hollow was released on April 23, 2008. On September 28th, 2012, they released their fourth album, Downpour.
