kannivalism is a Japanese rock band from Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan. They started out as a visual-kei band and first formed sometime in the summer of 2001. After their one man live at Meguro Rockmaykan on June 20th, 2001 kannivalism disbanded. Four years later, in December, the group reformed and changed their look to a more mainstream one. They have a catchy, upbeat quirky jazz-like sound, much like baroque (Ryou and Kei's previous band).

Biography

kannivalism formed sometime during the summer of 2001 in Kanagawa Prefecture. Not a lot of specifics are availiable pertaining to their schedule around this time, other than they disbanded on June 20th after their one-man live at Meguro Rockmaykan and then released their debut single "Ittekimasu." on July 29th. The member line-up was Ryou (ex-Clarity) on vocals, K (ex-Clarity) on guitar, 8342 (ex-Silhouette) on bass, and Kiri (ex-Rougir La Neige) on drums. In June of 2001, after seeing them live AKIRA (ex-Shiver) asked Ryou to join his new band called baroque with Bansaku (ex-After effect). Ryou accepted and then asked K the position of the new band's second guitarist. With both of the members accepting the offers, kannivalism disbanded. 8342 went to join k@mikaze and Kiri joined Porori.

After three years, baroque disbanded on December 25th, 2004. A year later Ryou and Kei announced that they were reviving kannivalism and 8342 joined the band again, under his new name Yuchi. Their first release since their debut single five years ago is Soukou humority, a mini-album that was released on April 26th, 2006.
