Solo project member Kai says:

“Both hide and Taiji were big influences in my life growing up, and I would like to dedicate this cover to them.”

As featured on Billboard, HuffPost, Loudwire, and Kerrang! Radio, Esprit D’Air is a Japanese metal band based in London. Their debut album won Best Metal Album, judged by Slayer, Sepultura, and Amy Lee of Evanescence at The Independent Music Awards at The Lincoln Center, New York City in 2018.
