Isekai Stage Introduce Themselves with Emotional Debut single “SACRIFICE”
Before their debut, the band had already tested their chemistry on major stages, performing at Dodger Stadium and Anime Expo
With SACRIFICE, Isekai Stage mark their official entrance. The trio (vocalist Noxigen, guitarist Xabier, and drummer R3M) blend Japanese pop precision with the grit of modern rock. “The song is about choosing to fight, even when it costs you something,” says Noxigen. “We wanted it to capture that moment when you decide to keep going despite the pain that comes with it. There’s struggle in it, but also release.”
That tension defines the band’s identity. “Isekai,” meaning “another world,” reflects the idea of rebirth and creative transformation. “We all had to reinvent ourselves to make this band happen,” explains Xabier. “We came from different backgrounds, different sounds, and built this world from scratch. It’s our way of stepping into a new reality and claiming it as ours.”
Before their debut, Isekai Stage had already tested their chemistry on major stages, performing at Dodger Stadium and Anime Expo. For R3M, the single mirrors that journey. “The drums had to carry both tension and release. It wasn’t about showing off, but about keeping the pulse alive so everything else could breathe.”
For Isekai Stage, SACRIFICE plays like an anthem of resistance and introspection at once. Its layered production, intricate guitar work, and emotionally raw vocals make it feel like a soundtrack to a battle between pain and clarity. Every sound seems to belong to a world of its own, yet every beat stays human.
The single also opens the first chapter of a larger story. Their upcoming EP, arriving in winter 2025, will explore struggle, transformation, and the rediscovery of purpose. The next single, Scarlet Night (out in November), continues that journey with a darker and more introspective tone.
