Chic and Heavy
One style with 2 axes !

The music style of LAMIA CROSS is a fusion of Techno/Metal/J-pop.The Their songs are dancing with the soft and sexy voice of Lamia. The guitar riffs stay hot and heavy, while the melancholic melody of the keyboard gives each song somewhat of a Gothic touch. The voice "is never shouted".

The lyrics are showing a dreamer, who is alluring and filled with laughter to display Lamia’s personality. The texts are in Japanese and French and English. Sometimes these languages coexist like an alternate translation.Through their music, LAMIA CROSS supports the exchange between the sensitivities and the cultures across the continents.
