Shazna (stylized as SHAZNA) was a Japanese visual kei rock band originally active from 1993 to 2000. The band started on the relatively harder side of alternative rock, but upon signing to a major label switched to a softer pop sound mixed with new wave. They became one of the most popular visual kei bands of the 1990s, together with Malice Mizer, La'cryma Christi and Fanatic Crisis. Their 1998 major label debut album Gold Sun and Silver Moon reached the number two position on the Oricon chart, sold over a million copies and was named "Rock Album of the Year" at the Japan Gold Disc Awards. In 2006, Shazna reunited, though after releasing an album and a single they disbanded once again in 2009.
