FEAR AND LOATHING IN LAS VEGAS


Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas is a Japa-
nese screamo/digital hardcore band from
Kobe, HyOgo Prefecture, formed in summer 2008.

Founded in 2008 summer, Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas


was originally formed by members of the bands Ending for
a Start and Blank Time. A year later, after an extensive
search, So (ex Bombreligion) joined as the sixth member.

In 2011, the song “Jump Around” from the band’s ex-


tended-play album Nextreme was selected to ap-
pear in the video game Pro Evolution Soccer 2012.

The song “Chase the Light” was used as the open-


ing theme for Gyakky Burai Kaiji: Hakairoku-hen.

In late 2011, the band’s song “Just Awake” was fea-


tured as the closing song in the anime Hunter ×
Hunter reboot; a single was released later in 2012.

On 22 June 2012, the band announced that they


will be releasing a new album on 8 August, called
All That We Have Now, with a tour in September.
In April 2013, the band announced the re-
lease of their first DVD, called The Animals in
Screen, scheduled to be out on 26 June 2013.
