There is more than one artist with the name "The Egoist." 1.) A visual-kei band, signed to Rockstar Records. 2.) A one-man artist who self produces his own music from Melbourne 1- The Egoist in the spring of 2015, but did not official announce activities until July 1st of that same year, with the formation of Rockstar Records. While they were one of the initial seven bands signed to this new label, they did not release their first CD until December 2nd but participated in many of the label's sponsored events. The band is participating in a coupling tour with the band SHAPE SHIFTER (founded by Moi Dix Mois' and former Art Cube's vocalist Z) throughout early March of 2016. The Egoist will also hold their second one-man live on March 26th, at HOLIDAY SHINJUKU. Their first release, a mini-album entitled "Emblem," came in two types: type A consisting of a promotional video for their song "Black Rose," and type B came with the bonus track "Maladjusted Child." Additionally, they participated in Rockstar Records' first omnibus "BLACK MARKET GANG 1." In the late spring of 2016, THE EGOIST released their first single RED ACHE. Like their previous release, it too came in two types--one with a bonus track and one with a music video DVD. This would prove to be their last release while signed to ROCKSTAR RECORDS. Summer of 2016 proved to be a tumultuous period for the band. Shortly after the release of their first single, THE EGOIST announced that they would be departing from ROCKSTAR RECORDS. It was later revealed in the Twitter feeds of various other label-mates that the record label did not place the best interests of their artists first, and mismanaged their production. THE EGOIST jumped ship before many other bands also left or were forced to disband. Since then, THE EGOIST has been self-produced. Shortly after this decision they announced the release of their second single, Out of Order and a one-man live on January 22nd, 2017 entitled "Beginning of liberty." Additionally, they were also featured on the omnibus DEEP MORE DEEP #4 along side ピサロ, VAN9ISH, and Ｃｈａｒｉｏｔｓ. OHP 2- The Egoist (Samuel Holt, born March 1st 1993) is a solo artist who dabbles in many genres of music such as, Doom, Drone, Post Rock, Garage Rock and has recently produced some of his own Electronic material during his Degree in Music Industry at RMIT, Melbourne. He is still yet to produce anything worth listening to.
