The band's name is a coined word for "Malice and Tragedy ", extracted from "Nothing but a being of malice and tragedy. Malice Mizer's sound during the Tetsu era was a mixture of early s gothic rock , progressive rock and strong classical influences.
Their first official release was the song "Speed of Desperate" on the compilation Brain Trash. In , after a couple more demos, the band released their debut album Memoire on Mana's newly founded independent record label Midi:Nette. It was re-released it at the end of the year with an additional bonus track, "Baroque", under the title Memoire DX. Only days later, singer and lyricist Tetsu left the band after his last gig on December 27, While the exact reasons are unknown, Tetsu went on to take a different direction in his work.
The band's continued use of his lyrics in songs they continued to perform with later vocalists suggest an amicable split. After almost a year of inactivity, Malice Mizer recruited Gackt as their new vocalist and released the single "Uruwashiki Kamen no Shoutaijou" on December 10, Visually, the band abandoned their s goth look for colorful historical costumes with a gothic feel.
Their major label debut album, Merveilles , was released in The band even had their own radio show around this time and played a two-day live at the Nippon Budokan , which involved a large building as a stage prop and elaborate theatrics; each member performing a skit with another member on their own including [on "Le Ciel"] the aforementioned skit in which Gackt fell to the stage [to sing the song] and returned to "Heaven" by song's end. In July , the Yokohama Arena 's stage would be the last for Gackt as in January , at the height of Malice Mizer's success, he would suddenly leave the band.
No reason was given, but after just four months he would release his first solo EP. A few months after Gackt's departure, drummer Kami died of a subarachnoid hemorrhage on June 21, Kami was never officially replaced; from that point on, Malice Mizer would only use support drummers namely ex- Aion member Shu, who is not shown in the band's later promotional material, nor credited and Kami would be credited as "eternal blood relative" on all their future releases.
