Maleficium

maleficium (マレフィキウム), formerly known as Aphrodite (アフロディーテ), is a gothic rock idol group formed in 2014.

The group was initially formed as a ballet-themed rock idol group, but in 2015 they started again with a new concept.

Their lyrics are inspired by greek mythology.

They entered a hiatus on September 30, 2022, with all of its members graduating.

In February 2023, the group returned with a new line-up.

On August 30, 2023, they changed their name from Aphrodite to maleficium.
