Starwave Records (formerly Darkest Labyrinth and Cure) is a Tokyo based record label, distributor, and web store specializing in gothic and visual kei artists in genres such as Electro-industrial, darkwave, gothic rock, EBM, and industrial metal.
First called Cure, Starwave Records started as an Osaka-based project to release works by label-owner Kiwamu's own band Blood.
The label changed names to Darkest Labyrinth and expanded to distribute music by international Gothic and Post-Industrial artists in Japan.
In 2007 the label started to sign other artists, making its first deals with international groups such as Virgins O.R.
Darkest Labyrinth reached its heyday in 2009, releasing works by a variety of international and Japanese artists.
