GAZTREA was founded in 2017 by the two guitarists Sai and Momo. Back then the project attempted to capture the experimental and extravagant approach of Japanese Visual Kei bands to music and style, but the various other influences of all band members have long since then shaped GAZTREA's music into its own thing. When Kal, who was mainly known as a YouTube singer before, joined the band in 2018, GAZTREA found the last missing piece to truly get started. Shortly after, the trio released their first music video ''Destiny'' together with the 3-track-EP ''Decisions''. A few months later the band released their first single titled ''Another Ending'', which concluded the concept started with ''Decisions''. After a few live shows with support bassists, Cozmo took over the bass and joined as a full-time member. With new energy and ideas the quartet released their new single ''Cloud Symmetry'', adding increasingly heavy elements to the band's sound. After concluding the year with a concert together with VII Arc and Bonafide Heroes, GAZTREA started with new material and big plans into 2019. Kicking off their release schedule with a music video for ''Feather & Void'', which presents itself as the heaviest song the band has written so far, GAZTREA were ready to present their new EP ''INCANTATION'' and show off the new songs live at Alternative V-Rock Invasion in Essen, Germany. In June GAZTREA released "INCANTATION" and got featured as Newcomer of the months in Orkus! Magazine.
WE ARE LOOKING FOR A BASSIST
Hello,
We're a modern metal / Visual Kei band and we're looking
for a bassist who wants to create music and play live shows with us.
We’re located in Northern Germany, with a rehearsal room in Hamburg.
Being in travel distance is required but living close isn’t necessary since we do writing and recording remotely.
Our current goal is to release and promote our first full-length album.
You should be willing to put effort, money and time into that.
As for live shows, we use backing tracks and are currently building our own in-ear system. Playing to a click is required.
You also need to be able to play our songs, do bass recordings, editing and demoing on your own.
Conceptual looks, heavy make-up, and expressive outfits are also part of our band's identity.
Taking part in this or even being interested in it is very important to us.
If you’re interested in being a part of GAZTREA or have any questions about us or being our bassist, don’t be shy and write us a message.
We’d be happy to welcome you as our bassist and grow this band as big as possible!

Press COverage
"GAZTREA vereinen Visual Kei, Metalcore, Pop und Gothic zu einer erlesenen Melange, deren einzelne Aromen die Geschmacksnerven verwöhnen. Ihr enormer Facettenreichtum offenbart sich mit jedem Schluck etwas mehr." - Orkus! Magazin
Die halbe Stunde, die GAZTREA auf der Bühne standen, ging leider viel zu schnell zu Ende, allerdings mit einem wirklich bleibenden Eindruck. Die letzten Töne, die der Sänger anschlug, waren so hoch, das man es so schnell nicht vergessen wird." - Sharpshooter Pics
"tighte Gitarre, wuchtiger Bass, knackige Drums und über allem thronend Sänger Kal mit einem mix aus Shouting, clean Vocals, angetäuschten Ausflügen in Opernbariton-Gefilde und garniert mit gelegentlichen, ultrahohen Screams , die so manchen Power Metal-Sänger unbarmherzigst deklassieren." - Count Your Bruises Magazine
