In 1999, led by Hideshi Ueki (G), Rachel Mother Goose (RMG) was formed with Die (Vo), Seigen (B), Rinnba (Key), Yasuhiro Iida(Dr) in Nagoya, Japan. They played neoclassical heavy metal, taking Hideshi’s guitar-playing, heavily influenced by Yngwie Malmsteen. RMG recorded and released first album, Magic Wand, independently in 2000, and signed with Japanese heavy meal label, Jackhammer Music.
Following the release of 2nd album, Nadir (2002), from the label, the band announced a new lineup, changing all members but Hideshi Ueki, and performed at World Rock Fes in August, 2003, held by Universiade in South Korea; other bands who played there include BOWWOW, XYZ➔A, and Lolita No.18. After releasing 3rd album, Fortune Missionary (2004), and 4th, Signs (2006), from Mandrake Root, they released 5th Single, Pray for Revenge, independently in 2012. In 2014, RMG changed into a solo project of Hideshi Ueki with first-rate support members: singer Sunghoon Kim from South Korea, bassist Kaz Nakamura of Kelly Simonz’s Blind Faith, keyboardist Takumi Matsubara and drummer Yosuke.
After writing new songs for the new album, they got down to pre-production in early 2016. Seeking for vivid acoustic sounds, they started recordings at Tapestry Recording Studio in July, where Japanese bands like Solitude and Outrage have used. While Shinya Tange produced drum sounds, Yusuke Abe and Saeko Kitamae also guested in some songs. Last but not least, they got Alessandro Del Vecchio to mix and master their songs. On January 25th, 2017, the band released the 5th album, TOKIWA NO SAI, from Spiritual Beast under Universal Music. Currently, RMG is touring Japan and planning to tour abroad in the near future.
