Of course, this is all my opinion.

Cool Band Names

MORRIGAN

GOTCHAROCKA ( I actually saw a few folks saying this name was stupid, but if you actually watched an interview of them describing the meaning behind it, it isn't that bad or "stupid". Oh and they're my favs so ofc I think it's cool  )

THE BLACK SWAN

Anli Pollicino

Avelcain

Blesscode (cheesy, but cool)

Bad Band Names

COLD WOMAN

Glam Grammar (Grammar's not glam...more like stressful)

NOCTURNAL BLOODLUST (okay i love them but this is cheesy on a whole other level)

DOG in the PWO 

HOLYCLOCK

and the one that absolutely takes the cake:

BLESS THIS MESS

I'm so happy they have PVs now!

Welcome back! Couldn't help but notice you have Jui as your profile pic too! 

I was impressed with the more heavier songs.

It's been a couple years since I've liked anything new from The GazettE but this album just might break this trend. Looking forward to it!

So lately I've been in sort of a "dry patch" when it comes to finding new bands I can actually start to like and become a fan of.

Okay, so here's some backstory (is this necessary, idk but I'm adding it anyway). I'm a newer fan of vkei jrock since I got into it around mid-2012. And even though I came in at a newer era, I really fell in love with older bands like Vidoll (and many other UNDERCODE bands), D, Versailles, The GazettE's and Alice Nine's older releases, D'espairsRay, Malice Mizer, and others I can't exactly recall now.

And now I can say the active bands that I really enjoy are Gotcharocka, Arlequin, Mejibray, Nocturnal Bloodlust, UNiTE, AvelCain, and Pentagon (this is the band I most recently started liking a lot).

Addition to this that yes, I know DIAURA is very popular now but there's something about Yo-ka that makes my skin crawl, and I mean in a bad way.

So since this a community filled with very seasoned vkei fans, I ask for your recommendations! ;3; I prefer newer bands probably 2012 and beyond, popularity not being something I care about. BUT you can also throw in some recommendations of some older/disbanded bands as well since I really love the sound of older visual kei rock. 

I can't quite describe my taste...the subcategory of rock doesn't really matter. I guess I can say I like unique sounds (like added electronic elements, crazy guitar riffs, or other things, and holy crap I'm bad at explaining this). But just anything outside of the typical generic sounding bands that have been coming out lately ;_; nothing against them, but their songs don't really grab me.

btw shout out to staff for the favorite/best tracks of month threads, those have been helping me a lot.

Okay I'll shut up now, your recommedations, please? 

Vidoll. 

I wish I could've been a fan when they were still around, and it's sad because I stumbled across so much of their music (I love nearly all of their discog) just to discover they were disbanded already. I was crushed. :'D 

Hello, I just joined a few minutes ago! I found the place on a whim; I was googling for Mako's new band and I came across a forum post here. I was really surprised to see a seemingly active jrock forum so I had to join. I've listened to jrock for about 3 years now and I'm hoping to reach out to even more jrock fans via this forum. My favorite bands as of right now are Gotcharocka, UNiTE, and Arlequin. So...nice to meet everyone.
