In April 2006, shortly after the breakup of [[CORE THE CHILD|COЯE THE CHILD,]] the rapid rise of the [[Visual-Kei|visual kei]] band UnsraW, founded by the singer 勇企 ([[Yuki (UnsraW)|Yuki]]) and the drummer 匠 ([[Sho (UnsraW)|Sho]]), began. The visual portrayal of masked marionettes is not the only element which creates UnsraW’s kinky mood of mystery; it´s also the unbelievable voice of the singers (often referred to as the death voice) which leaves its indelible mark.
