theyre very similar scenes, with the similar focus on aesthetics, music, art, self-expression, inclusiveness, and all

rec me vk that sounds a little like Dir En Grey before they went sashimi slipknot
bands that sound like Missa, Gauze and maybe Macabre

I've always liked Madeth Gray'll but this is the first time in my life I listen to them this heavily. I will never grow out of VK

I've been seeking out stuff like that too lately and it's way harder to find good examples of the genre than I expected. Kagrra had a good take on it back when they were still Crow and I don't think a lot of people still talk about this demo anymore

your ears are defective. the early stuff sounds timeless, the new stuff belongs in the fucking mid 2000s. they probably have the worst, most lifeless sounding guitar tone of any 'major' japanese band right now.

There's a french review of that live on here: web.archive.org/web/20050227020243/http://ongakuda.free.fr/niveau 2/niveau3b/27oct00.htm

That place is a goldmine of info on the VK scene from 1998-2000

Chuuzetsu, Nakigara wo and that other EP with Shinainaru Death Mask are definitely the purest expression of that style

I found them a while back from this website which I'm pretty sure is down now, I mostly scan magazines from the 80s though, but went through a huge visual kei phase during my high school days so I still save pics when I run into them.

I have a huge soft spot for Gekka Hakurei by Missalina Rei too. They never get a fair rep musically but their first album is really catchy and sounds just as gritty as other darker stuff

There's hardly any difference, after all, visual kei was just a marketing gimmick pushed at angsty teenage girls.

Someone please tell me more about this record. It's the most uncanny record I ever heard. I discovered it long ago from some last fm user. Apparently they were an extremely experimental visual kei group. I think

So glad Mana-sama ditched the dying Malice Mizer to pursue his interest in heavier music.
