The discography of the Japanese heavy metal band Seikima-II consists of 14 studio albums, 11 live albums, 29 singles and numerous compilations, many of which feature re-recordings.
Formed in 1982, Seikima-II released 12 studio albums before disbanding in 1999. Their first, Seikima-II - Akuma ga Kitarite Heavy Metal, was released in 1985, reached number 48 on the Oricon chart and marked the first time a Japanese metal band sold over 100,000 copies.[1][2] Their second, The End of the Century, was released the following year, reached number 5 and sold over 200,000 copies.[2] The 1989 compilation of re-recordings, Worst, was the first Japanese metal album to reach number one on the chart.[3] In total, the group has sold over 10 million records in Japan alone.[4]
Seikima-II have had several limited-time reunions since 2005. Although live albums were typically recorded and released from these reunions, re-recordings such as the Akuma Nativity "Songs of the Sword" (2009) and Akuma Relativity (2010) albums and all new double A-side singles "Kōryōtaru Shin Sekai / Planet/The Hell" and "Noroi no Shananana / Goblin's Scale" (both 2016) have also been released. In 2022 the band released Bloodiest, their first album of new material in 23 years.
