Zeni Geva is a Japanese heavy metal group led by singer and guitarist KK. Null, together with guitarist Mitsuru Tabata and drummer Tatsuya Yoshida.[3] Formed in Tokyo in 1987, the group's name translates roughly as "money violence" ("Zeni" is an old Japanese term for money, and "Geva" comes from the German "Gewalt," meaning "violence").

Though broadly classified as metal, Zeni Geva's music can be diverse and experimental, incorporating elements ranging from death metal and hardcore punk[1] to math rock, psychedelic, and noise rock.[2] Their music is often technically unorthodox and demanding, and has earned progressive rock comparisons: critic Patrick Kennedy describes their 1993 album Desire for Agony as resembling "Motorhead meets King Crimson."[3]

The Chicago-based Skin Graft Records, which shares Zeni Geva's extreme aesthetic preferences, has shown interest in the group, releasing the band's music and assisting with its North American tours.
