Esprit D'Air

Esprit D'Air, a rock and metal band of Japanese and British origin, plays a concert at La Belle Angele in Edinburgh that celebrates the tenth anniversary of its debut album, Constellations.

Esprit D'Air is a rock and metal band of Japanese and British origin, active since 2010. Its debut album, Constellations, was released in 2017. The band is fronted and led by Kai, who is also a guitarist with The Sisters of Mercy. The line-up includes former Ghost drummer Jan-Vincent Velazco, bassist Takeshi and guitarist Yusuke.

The band's sound draws on nu metal, djent, power metal and electronicore, combining soaring melodies with futuristic soundscapes. Metal Hammer, HuffPost, Loudwire, BBC Radio and Kerrang! Radio have all featured the group, and its style is described as distinct from one song to the next.

The Edinburgh show is the band's return to the city and pairs songs from its album Aeons with a celebration of Constellations at ten years old. La Belle Angele, on Hasties Close, mainly hosts concerts, with a focus on pop, rock and indie music, so the night suits listeners who follow rock and metal.
