Necronomidol

Necronomidol, stylized as NECRONOMIDOL, is a Japanese idol heavy metal group, formed in 2014. They have been on more than three international tours and have currently performed in over 12 countries.
They are a prominent force in the alternative idol and kawaii metal movements. Their name is derived from the Necronomicon, a fictional grimoire featured in Lovecraft's works, the Japanese words for magic (魔, "ma") and necromancy (ネクロ魔, "nekuro ma") and "idol". they have also performed at the H.P. Lovecraft Film Festival & CthulhuCon twice, in 2018 and 2020. As an idol group, they have multiple different composers who have worked with them, such as Mr. Perkele, who has worked on tracks such as Ritual and Dawnslayer. The group is managed by Ricky Wilson, an American expat living in Tokyo. They began with visuals inspired by a traditional japanese "shrine maiden" look with a sort of "haunting" vibe, as is seen in their earliest videos from 2014, but their image then grew towards incorporating more elements of the Cthulhu mythos as well as both modern Japanese and Western horror.
Musical style.
Necronomidol's style has been described as fusing J-pop with genres ranging from industrial music to punk rock to dark wave to witch house to shoegazing to, most notably, heavy metal, specifically the style of black metal. Because of this, they have been described as kawaii metal and post-black metal.
