ACME is a Metal Core and Visual Kei band that formed in 2017 consisting of DIV vocalist CHISA and guitarist SHOGO, bassist RIKITO, and former ARTEMA drummer HAL.

 

The name of the band means “the vertex of evolution” and the band concept is “Delinquent boys from another world”. Well known for their post-hardcore sound and colorful “oshare” style visuals, ACME are quickly rising in the visual kei scene.

​

Their first mini-album release in August of 2017 「SENKOU」 sold out first press copies nationwide. The band later released their second single 「ROTTEN ORANGE」 in November 2018. The release contained the track 「CALL MY NAME」, which was featured in the movie 「Namae no nai Onnatachi: Usotsuki Onna」 starring Mitsuru Fukikoshi.

​

At Anime Expo 2018 in LA, CHISA walked the AX Fashion Show runway for Harajuku fashion designers KINGLYMASK, LISTEN FLAVOR, and HYPER CORE.

 

ACME made their overseas debut performance at Anime Milwaukee 2019 and returned in June of that year at A-Kon in Dallas. ACME has held tours in 2020, 2021, 2022, and 2023 across North America, performing at music venues, anime conventions, and showcase events with notable American and Japanese acts.
