Maschera was a Japanese visual kei band that originally formed in 1992. Initially, the group had a gothic-influenced sound,which
often seemed to took influence from bands like The Cure. Although, by 1997, Maschera did a complete 180 with theirmusic style,
which sounded like a blend of pop rock and electropop. This style transition seemed to work for Maschera for awhile, and the
group had mild mainstream success throughout the remainder of the 1990's. However, Maschera ended upeventually splitting by
2000.
