Ryoji Shinomoto
Ryoji Shinomoto is the guitarist, vocalist, and primary composer behind the Japanese metal act that began in Sapporo, Hokkaido in 2009 under the name Suicide Heaven, later renamed GYZE. As part of GYZE, Shinomoto developed a signature style built on intricate melodic riffing, dual-guitar harmonies, and shredding solos drawn from melodic death and power metal traditions. When GYZE rebranded as Ryujin in January 2023 following a deal with Napalm Records, Shinomoto's project gained international visibility with Trivium's Matt Heafy producing the debut Ryujin album and contributing guest vocals.
