Unlucky Morpheus

 is a Japanese metal band formed in 2008.

They described their genre of music as "Technical Melodic Speed Metal".

History

 * They were originally an anisong cover band. Later, they expanded their activities to include doujin music of Touhou Project, and in recent years, their own original songs.
 * The band started with Shiren and Tenge Fuyuki in 2008, and as they performed more and more shows, more members joined.
 * For the band's name, the nickname "ankimo" was decided first, and the full name "Unlucky Morpheus" was chosen because it sounds like the nickname.
 * They had a sub-unit active from 2010 to 2012 called ICARUS'CRY, a project by Shiren and Kasumi focused on metal arrangements of Touhou Project, also featuring Ogawa Hiroyuki and FUMIYA as support members.
 * In December 2020, a sub-unit called QUADRATUM was announced, focused on instrumental covers and featuring Jinya, Jill, FUMIYA and Ogawa Hiroyuki.
