Usually labeled as a visual kei band, deadman is known for playing a gloomy, haunting style of rock music, melodic but sometimes violent. As lyricist of the band, Mako writes and sings about themes such as depression, religion, emotional and psychological suffering, and suicide.
Mako, taking on the role of maniac let loose, walking and dancing around in a twitchy, spastic fashion, combined with powerful music and emotional lyrics, results in a very unique performance from an equally unique set of musicians.
