Beyond Indulgence

Beyond Indulgence are a Gothic Metal band that was founded by Olga Orly, April May and Viola Cadaverini. The band also includes Hiroshi Nakano, Rika Nakana, Kay Faraday and Ema Skye.

After realising three albums, Beyond Indulgence announced there would be a new member to the group. Former Bad Luck guitarist, Hiroshi Nakano was announced as the new vocalist and guitar player for Bad Luck in a YouTube video.

Prior to Hiroshi's joining, the band took pride in being an all-female metal band that experimented in a variety of genres. Band leader, Olga Orly took pride in their music saying, "With Beyond Indulgence, no song is ever the same as the last. Each song has a different theme and means something different to us. But the one thing that all the song shares is that they are all symbols of our love for music and our friendship. Sure, there's a lot of songs that many would consider stupid, but as long as we enjoy ourselves, that's the main thing."

Formation
The idea of Beyond Indulgence first occurred when Orly, May, Cadaverini, Faraday and Nakana playing poker. During the game, Olga announced that she was not only an expert in poker but also a master on the piano which was the true origin of her nickname, Quick  Fingers. Olga then asked her opponents did they play any instruments or do singing.

Viola responded by saying she played the piano. April said she had a voice to die for. Faraday said, "I'm not the great singer in the world but I'd love to play an instrument." When all four of them turned to Nakana and asked for her to sing, knowing that she worked in broadway. After the game, Faraday suggested that they should all meet up and do a session together. With the girls' busy scheduels, the only time convient for all of them was at midnight. All five of them showed up to the rehearsal and Faraday was impressed with the results.

Orly, also impressed suggested that they form their own band. Orly stated in a 2031 interview, "I was blown away with Rika's voice the moment I heard it. She's such a versatile vocalist who can sing in a varity of genres. She's not even classically trained, but she can do operatic notes. Her voice gave us, a band the edgy image we needed."

With the band formed, they needed a name. May suggested, Beyond Indulgence as a reference to the band leaders, obsession with poker. The band made regular sessions at Orly's house on a regular basis. May invited her boyfriend at the time, Klavier Gavin to the bands first gig.

Gavin accidently heard his colleague Ema Skye practising her death growls and later found a video of her doing bass guitar covers of popular songs. Impressed, Gavin forced Skye to join Beyond Indulgence as a bass player and a backing vocalist. Gavin also got the band signed to his own label.

Despite heavy support, Gavin was never an official member of Beyond Indulgence. He was a session member for their first album, The Beautiful Objection in which he produced with Olga Orly. Orly considered inviting him to the band, but Gavin decided to join a j-pop band, Bad Luck.

Reception
The band received mixed responses worldwide. Critics appreciate the eccentric experiments and credit Orly for her bravery. Negative responses thought the musical arrangements were too vulgar, and were also put off by the wild behavouir of Orly and the harsh vocals. Since Nokano joined the band, their albums received commercial and critical acclaim.
