They were all set for successful if somewhat conventional careers when a setback changed their lives. Elijah had been offered a steady office job, starting the next Monday. “On Friday [the boss] called me up and said ‘bad news, this music thing. We looked at it on Google and we think it would be a conflict of interest.’” Grime had parred three years of uni. But in a trait that would become one of their calling cards, Elijah switched this setback to his advantage, making it a turning point for his life and soon, for grime itself.
On the foundation of their Rinse radio show, the duo soon built a label, merchandising, raves, an A&R consultancy but most of all a focused community, aligned to one mission. “Most other Grime DJs only see their job as playing good records,” explains Elijah “But Skilliam and I really go the extra mile to make good tunes happen in the first place. Hooking up producers and MCs with stuff they would sound good on. That is how most of the records have formed on the label, not just because we have picked up whatever has been working. We have built up most tunes from scratch as a team.”
The band was named VIGILANTE after the British legendary hard rock band MAGNUM's song "Vigilante".
The early influences from which they derived inspiration were bands such as SCORPIONS, SAVAGE GRACE, RUNNING WILD, to name a few. And from that point onward they kept developing and refining their sound through their succession of demos and live shows.
When they came across the sounds of RUSH and FATES WARNING, whose progressive ways to approach music totally fascinated the band, VIGILANTE's attention turned towards making their music more artistic and dramatic.
It might have been a hard time for such a band to carry on, given the music scene in the late eighties Japan. After all, at that time, People who knew even the word "Progressive Metal" were few and far
between. But despite these circumstances, they got the chance to be introduced to the manager of Gibson Japan at that time, Loyd Love. And so it came to be, that once they'd borrowed some Gibson
guitars from his office, within one week, they were able to complete a new demo called "FATAL SUPERSTITION". When he finished listening to their demo, Love described the band as "A perfect hybrid sound of eastern music and western music".
Soon thereafter, Hiroshi became an endorser of Gibson USA.
However, it wasn't long before VIGILANTE had to endure the serial replacements of many of its original members.The loss of its members was a crunch for the band and they had to take a hiatus for a while.
After several months, VIGILANTE resumed with a new line-up. In addition to the stable guitar team of Hiroshi and Kazuaki Horie, they had new vocalist, Hideaki Niwa, new drummer, Kazuhisa Yoshimura, and a new bass player, Makoto Unno.
In 1997, they had their first big show in Tokyo. The show was almost 2-hours long and they played more than 20 original songs. The show was a success and the band received a good audience response.
After that historic show, they started the recording of their first album "CHAOS-PILGRIMAGE".
The album was released in April 1998 with complete self sound production. Upon releasing the album, they received a good reaction throughout the world, being highly praised by renowned metal magazines like Heavy Oder Was!?, Hard Roxx, and Burrn!, in addition to various metal radio and TV programs.
In September 1998, they were given the offer to join the famous "Bang Your Head!!!" metal festival, sponsored by Heavy Oder Was!? in Germany.
Unfortunately, their appearance as a live act didn't come to be but they had an interview session on stage.
When they returned from Germany, they made a license record contract for 5 albums with German veteran label Massacre Records. And in March 1999, the "CHAOS-PILGRIMAGE" EU version was released.
The band released their second album "EDGE OF TIME" in September 1999. Its well-defined power-metal and aggressive styling was greeted favorably by fans all over the world.
And a short two months later, EU version of "EDGE OF TIME" was released in November 1999.
Subsequently, they released the single "THUMBNAIL AT YOU, MASTER" kind of expressing funny side of them as shown in the CD front cover. However, the single unexpectedly landed at #5 on the singles chart of Burrn!
After the release of this album, they continued touring and composing new sounds for their nextalbum to coincide with the replacement of their drummer with Shu Yamaichi in March 2002.
In April 2002, they made a license contract with Korean label,Ponycanyon Korea and the Korean version of their double CD was soon released. The next month they visited Korea and interviewed with Korean music magazine "GMV".
In August 2004, finally their third album "COSMIC INTUITION" was released after five years.
The band kept touring and In April 2005, they made a successful performance in Seoul, Korea. And in June 2005, they joined "Bang Your Head!!!" festival again after seven years with "COSMIC INTUITION" album as a promotional tour. They received a good reaction from German metal fans there.
In July 2005, they played together with Australian power metal act DUNGEON and in September, played with Korean prog-metal band JEREMY again since the last gig in Seoul, Korea in April.
2006 saw drummer Shunji Fujino replace Shu Yamaichi due to musical differences, this young and bold rookie drummer brought a new spirit into the band nearly becoming just a mere inwardlooking
prog-metal veterans and re-energized the band's repertoire.
He also offered a great contribution to the songwriting process of new album in terms of rhythm section along with the bassist, Makoto.
The band released their fourth album "IV" in October 2008. The album took a more modern and power-metal approach to its sound in addition to their trademark of progressive metal virtuosity.
In May 2009, They had a chance to play with Brazillian power-metaler HIBRIA at Tomahawk Metal Fest in Hong Kong, since the metal festival, the friendship between VIGILANTE and HIBRIA has been contituing until now.
2009 saw the beginning of a series of metal events called "Orgasm Metal" which was launched by mainly Hideaki, the band's vocalist and more than 70 bands have participated the events so far.
In 2010, Hiroshi, VIGILANTE's leader and the guitarist came up with an idea of re-recording the old materials by current line-up to show the metal fans the band's performance at its best and the single "RETROSPECTIVE INTO CHAOS VOL.1" was released.
The band released the single "OF INSANITY AND JUSTICE" in 2012 and its limited edition had a bonus DVD "Live At Orgasm Metal 2010-2012". Their live performance on the DVD was good enough to prove VIGILANTE is a real live metal band.
Since the release of "IV", each member started their own music related activities: Hiroshi and Kazuaki, Makoto got endorsement deal from Gibson USA, Kiesel Guitars,Yamaha respectively.
Shunji had an experience of one month European tour with other band as a supporting drummer.

The symphony was the first example of a major composer using voices in a symphony (thus making it a choral symphony). The words are sung during the final movement by four vocal soloists and a chorus. They were taken from the "Ode to Joy", a poem written by Friedrich Schiller in 1785 and revised in 1803, with text additions made by the composer.
In 2001, Beethoven's original, hand-written manuscript of the score, held by the Berlin State Library, was added to the United Nations Memory of the World Programme Heritage list, becoming the first musical score so honoured.
The Philharmonic Society of London originally commissioned the symphony in 1817. The main composition work was done between autumn 1822 and the completion of the autograph in February 1824. The symphony emerged from other pieces by Beethoven that, while completed works in their own right, are also in some sense "sketches" (rough outlines) for the future symphony. The Choral Fantasy Opus. 80 (1808), basically a piano concerto movement, brings in a choir and vocal soloists near the end for the climax. The vocal forces sing a theme first played instrumentally, and this theme is reminiscent of the corresponding theme in the Ninth Symphony (for a detailed comparison, see Choral Fantasy).
Going further back, an earlier version of the Choral Fantasy theme is found in the song "Gegenliebe" (Returned Love) for piano and high voice, which dates from before 1795. According to Robert W. Gutman, Mozart's K. 222 Offertory in D minor, "Misericordias Domini", written in 1775, contains a melody that foreshadows "Ode to Joy".

Although taiko are the primary instrument in their performances, other traditional Japanese musical instruments such as fue and shamisen make an appearance on stage as do traditional dance and vocal performance. Kodō's repertoire includes pieces based on the traditional rhythms of regional Japan, pieces composed for Kodō by contemporary songwriters, and pieces written by Kodō members themselves. Since their debut at the Berlin Festival in 1981, Kodō has had almost 4,000 performances, spending about a third of the year overseas, a third touring in Japan and a third resting and preparing new material on Sado Island.
Kodō is arguably the most well-known and respected taiko group worldwide and has been considered an ambassador group for taiko performance outside Japan. One component of their reputation stems from their training regimen, which at one time, included long distance running twice daily. A report on Kodō's training in 1989 stated that their approach had been toned down, but was still "disciplined" according to the program director, where performers would only run ten kilometers each morning.
In performance, players are often seen wearing a sole loincloth called a fundoshi as a component of attire. Internal publications from the group state that they are used to help focus a player's strength while performing. Others have noted that the use of fundoshi clearly represents a masculine component to the Kodō's performance. After their performance at the 1984 Olympics, Mark Swed of the Los Angeles Herald wrote, "Glistening back muscles of a sweaty loin-clothed drummer are strikingly lit as he strikes the great o-daiko (large taiko) with massive sticks in performance as much athletic as it is musical."
Kodō received the MIDEM Music Video (Long Form) Award at the 3rd International Visual Music Festival in Cannes in 1994, as well as the Japanese Foreign Ministry Award noting their cultural contributions through the Earth Celebration event on Sado Island. They were also the recipient of the Matsuo Performing Arts Award for Japanese Music in 2012.

In order to make the distance between the audience and the band close, the fence is removed, and on the contrary, the stage is made by laying the platform.

Music history
The outfit released an independent extended play project in 2010 with their self-titled Gideon EP. They got picked up by the smaller label division Strike First Records of Facedown Records in 2011 shortly before they debuted their first studio album Costs. Eventually, the band got the attention of Facedown, who signed the band before the release of Milestone in 2012 making it their second studio album. Even better, the second album had some prowess on a few Billboard charts and those were the Christian Albums and Heatseekers Albums.
Style
Sources have put their music into various genres, from hardcore punk to melodic hardcore to metalcore.

At its core, the music is Christian metal for its sacred elements and heavy metal in its holistic encompassing totality of the sounds it contains.
