context_page_description: Destrose was a Japanese all-female heavy metal band. Initially formed in 2005 as Destroya, the group remained an independent band their entire career and suffered from frequent line-up changes until going on indefinite hiatus in 2015. Although considered pioneers of the Girls Metal Band Boom, Destrose never achieved commercial success and is best known for the subsequent bands that its many members have gone on to form.
context_section_description: The band's only studio album, the self-titled Destrose, was released on April 10, 2013 and supported by a fourteen-date nationwide tour that finished with their first one-man concert on June 1 at Meguro Live Station. It reached number seven on Oricon's indie albums chart. They were the only indie band at Show-Ya's female artists-only Naon no Yaon 2013 festival on April 29, which also included Scandal and Cyntia among others. Destrose performed in the US for the first time in early August as part of Tokyo in Tulsa. The double A-side single "Rin / Maze" was released on November 13 and reached number 7 on the indie chart. To celebrate, they held a one-man concert at Shibuya O-West that same day, which was recorded and later released as a concert video. Later that month, Mina announced she was taking a hiatus from live activities due to health issues.
  In March 2014, Destrose performed in the US again at Naka-Kon. Soon after Marina left and formed Mardelas, with Lisa replacing her on April 25. The mini-album, The Prologue was released on September 24  and reached number 5 on the indie chart. Each member wrote a song for the record, and it was supported by an eleven-date nationwide tour. Drummer Haruna left the band after her farewell concert on December 24 at Meguro Rock-May-Kan due to her upcoming marriage.
  Risa☆Risa joined as drummer on January 30, 2015, and had her first Destrose concert the following day. In February, leader and sole constant member Mina left the band due to her ongoing health issues. At the same time Lisa went on hiatus to treat vocal cord nodules, with Ibuki filling in as guest vocalist. In May, Destrose announced that they would be going on indefinite hiatus in July. They played their final concert, titled Persistence of Rose, at Meguro The Live Station in Tokyo on July 18, 2015.
  Also in July 2015, Mina formed the steampunk metal band Fate Gear. Their debut album A Light in the Black, released the following month, and their third album, 2018's 7 Years Ago, both include re-recordings of Destrose songs. Their 2019 EP Headless Goddess is composed almost entirely of re-recorded Destrose songs and features guest vocalists, including Ibuki. In September 2015, Narumi and Risa☆Risa formed Disqualia with Ibuki. Miho and Haruna formed Lovebites in 2016 and recorded the unreleased Destrose song "Bravehearted" for their 2017 debut, The Lovebites EP.
