Sex Virgin Killer (SVK) is a Tokyo band formed in 2006 around guitarist and composer Lilii Mar a.k.a. masa, who came up through Japan's hardcore punk scene before steering the project toward visual kei and later darkwave. After a hiatus from 2018, the band returned in 2021 with a sharper, darker sound - absorbing post-punk, gothic and deathrock influences alongside vocalist Aisha and drummer Hammer. Their third full album 'ANGEL' (2026) was released in two distinct editions: a Japan version via lilii sound loom and an international version via the German label Young & Cold Records, with art direction by Atsuo of Boris.
Post-Punk.com covered the release of SVK's third album 'ANGEL' in both Japanese and international editions, noting the band's roots stretching back to 2006.
The international version of 'ANGEL' was released on March 5, 2026 via Young & Cold Records, mixed and mastered by Daniel Hallhuber, with art direction by Atsuo of Boris.
The retrospective compilation 'Sanctuary (2017-2024)' was released on February 1, 2025 via Swiss Dark Nights.
SVK released the EP 'Visual Shock Noise' in November 2024, following the darkwave EP 'Heaven' from January 2024.
The band released their second full album 'DEVIL' in November 2023, alongside launching a new darkwave-oriented project direction.
