NoGoD is a Japanese visual kei heavy metal band formed in 2005 by vocalist Dancho. Originally named Shinko Shukyo Gakudan Nogod ("New Religion Band Nogod"), the band has been using simply Nogod since signing to the major label King Records in 2010.
They held their debut performance on October 19, at Akasaka L@n, with a lineup consisting of Dancho on vocals, Aki and Kyrie on guitar, Karin on bass, and K on drums. On November 12, the band released their first demo "Kimi ni Okuru Bukiyou de Migatte na Uta" (A Selfish and Awkward Poem For You). They spent the rest of 2005 and the beginning of 2006 performing with other bands in Tokyo.
In July 2006, the members were signed to Art Pop Entertainment and released two singles, "Akafukyō" (Red Propagation) and "Kurofukyō" ("Black Propagation"), the following month. In 2007, guitarist Aki left and was replaced by Shinno.
In April 2008, the band released their first studio album, Mugenkyō ("Dream Teachings"), which reached No. 6 on the Oricon Indies chart.
In February 2009, the band released their second studio album, Gokusaishiki ("Richly Colored").
In November 2009, vocalist Dancho announced that the band would be making their major debut. On June 9, 2010, Nogod released their first major single, "Kakusei" ("Awakening"), on King Records. The song was used as the ending theme for Chūkyō TV's Futtonda.
