PALEDUSK Go Behind The Scenes On “Ep.2: ONE OK ROCK European Tour” Documentary

Japanese genre-bending heavy act PALEDUSK unveil Ep.2: “ONE OK ROCK European Tour”, a new documentary episode capturing a pivotal chapter in the band’s journey. The film offers an intimate look at how deeply ONE OK ROCK — the globally renowned rock band formed in 2005 — influenced PALEDUSK’s musical path long before they ever shared the same space.

In the episode, the band reflect on how visa complications abruptly canceled their planned U.S. tour, a crushing setback that unexpectedly opened another door. At the last minute, PALEDUSK secured three performances at Australia’s Good Things Festival — where fate intervened. ONE OK ROCK were also on the lineup, marking the first time PALEDUSK met one of their biggest inspirations face to face. For drummer BOB, the moment carried personal weight. Having created drum playthrough videos of ONE OK ROCK songs for years, meeting them in Australia in 2020 fulfilled a lifelong goal.

The documentary also reveals how that connection helped propel PALEDUSK further onto the global stage. The band recount how Oliver Sykes of Bring Me The Horizon reached out to collaborate, leading to the creation of the explosive track AmEN. The experience underscored how admiration, persistence, and preparation can collide into opportunity.

Blending candid interviews with live footage from the European run, the episode captures a band absorbing every lesson from their heroes while carving their own identity. For PALEDUSK, the tour was more than a series of shows — it was proof that inspiration can come full circle, and sometimes, you finally get to stand beside the bands that once lived only on your playlist.
