Dio – Distraught Overlord (ディオ –DISTRAUGHT OVERLORD–) was a Japanese visual kei metal band from Tokyo, formed on 14 May 2006. Rather than following the usual sound of visual kei, they were a darker, heavier band, which combined metal with melodious tones.^[1]

History

Guitarist Erina left the group in September 2009 and they went on hiatus, until announcing that they were officially disbanding on 13 March 2010 and that the same line-up would reform as a new band.^[2] That same month, vocalist Mikaru started a project called Digras; its other members have not been announced yet.

In January 2011, bassist Ivy (now going by Tomoa) formed the band Remming. In July, Mikaru and drummer Denka (now going by Syu) formed the band Black Line, and Erina is in VII-Sense.

Distraught Overlord reunited in April 2016 for B7Klan's 10th anniversary European tour.^[3]
