The Shamisen samples in the second one are quite good too~
And yeah, they also kind of remind me when I discovered Kiryu. I'm really hoping to hear more from this band~

wow,awesome atmosphere...the shakuhachi and koto samples are quite good as well
better than Zin samples.Their sound brings me back to 2012 when i discovered kiryu and i got into their first album "Meikiyo Shisui"

Relatively new VisualKei band Kebyou is to either release a new single, or has released one. They uploaded previews on their twitter. 
 
Un 「吽」
 
1. Ayame (あやめ)　
2. Akai Kutsu (赤い靴)
3. Tenge Tenjou (天下天上)
 
The recordings seem to be VERY low budget, but they're quite good. I can't wait to see what more this band has in store. They definitely bring something a bit new to the table. I can hear mixes of AvelCain and Memento Mori influence. The vocals are ehhh though. 
 
 
 

Oh, I just remembered. I once came across this girl who was like "Kuroyume isn't VisualKei! They're Jpop!" and I told her "Um, they really don't like the label "Pop", and their poppy stuff, is quite complex and creative compared to most pop rock.". I also pointed out their more Metal early releases and she was like "It may have been Metal, but it's still pop because the riffs were catchy".
Like, I don't think "Shin'ai Naru Death Mask" is "catchy". Also, the main riff to Kurui Dorei sounds like Metallica's "The Shortest Straw". I don't think Metallica could ever be considered pop (Well, at least before the black album. OOPS). In fact, Kurui Dorei is even heavier than some of Metallica. Totally "Jpop"
Also, the fact their biggest inspirations are D'erlanger and Dead End (Kiyoharu even got his early look from Kyo of D'erlanger) kind of shouts VISUALKEI.

Wait, people don't use their dogs to post for them? Well crap, I've been doing things wrong the entire time! xD

Iconic.

"I am a huge fan of that bandman...been for years  *post a picture of a cosplayer and says it's him*" 
 
"Kai have changed a lot during the years hasen't he?! *post a picture of Gazette when yune was their drummer*" 
 
I also remember that time when Miyavi got married and people were sending nasty messages to him because he was not "theirs" anymore but that's maybe a different story. 

So all of these so called GazettE copycats are copies of a copy. 
Copyception.
*Black hole suddenly appears in the entire Vkei scene as we just did the Vkei equivalent of dividing by Zero*

"You like old-school visual kei? Me too!!  I love Malice Mizer and X Japan!!!!"
 
Babby vk fans, man.
 
Oh, and accusing every tanbi kei-ish band of copying Versailles.

Welcome to the forum! I hope you enjoy things here!
Compared to a lot of the people here, I'm a "newbie" though I think of myself as quite experienced.
My expertise is dark, folk-sy Eroguro and Angurakei bands. Bands like Ningen Isu, Inugami Circus Dan, Sex Android, Mucc, or in terms of newer bands, Kuroyuri To Kage. Since you like Punk Rock, you'll probably like Inugami Circus Dan and Sex Android. Ningen Isu is more Sabbathy and Priesty, and Mucc is more Alternative Metal with a whole bunch of other influences.
I've also been getting into a lot more 90's bands, and exploring a lot of really early 80's Vkei bands. It's amazing to think that almost all of the early influential Vkei bands were at one point just an offshoot of the Speed Metal/New Wave British Heavy Metal and Thrash Metal scene in Japan, and they probably didn't know what new thing they were starting.  
But, you ever need any information on an Eroguro or Angura band, I'm your gal!
 

"Dogma is such a heavy album!!"
Sorry, I had to xD. I just absolutely had to. 
"I love 90's vkei! I can name all the bands! X, Luna Sea, Dir En Grey, Luna Sea, X, The GazettE!"
"Wait, what do you mean The GazettE wasn't a 90's band? They wore black lipstick though!"
(I know this one isn't specifically Vkei, but the band in question has been lumped into Vkei so much.) "Wagakki band is the only true Japanese folk metal band and these vocal-sh*toids are copying Yuko's amazing work! In my bed, Yuko!"
(In the comments of a Kuroyume video) "Omg, these guys are totally copying Dir En Grey"
"Ah... that chick is so hot. I want her to- wait, its a guy?"
(This may not be exactly n00b Vkei fan, but it definitely is n00b Diru fan since Diru has this new American metalhead fanbase) "Wait, this can't be Dir En Grey! They look like f*gs and are playing pseudo-Metal!"
 
Ironically though, I've seen a lot of experienced fans say these. Welp, that's enough triggering the community for today

WHELP. 
Guess it's too late to say my dog took my computer and that wasn't me who posted this huh?

"he's not a girl but he's prettier than me in makeup"
 
"i failed as a girl. i failed my vagina"
 
also i may or may not have legally changed my last name to Gara's real surname <333

Added some of my own things to the original post since I hadn't initially 

Restricting discussion on a band is not only censorship, but can be seen as elitist. 
It's like how on the Metal Archives, it's banned to discuss any band that is "core", is "makeup wearing f*gs" (Reffering to how they HATE Dir En Grey) and "is Glam". 
To restrict discussion on western Vkei because "we don't care about it" is just plain wrong. I may not care about Yohio, but I'm interested in BATAAR and Endigo. 
Just let them talk about it. Like Trombe's signature said "If you don't care, don't read". 

So all of these so called GazettE copycats are copies of a copy.

"Kyo, the bassist of the GazettE is my favorite member, but I really like VK for the music."
"I grew up in Japan. Kawaii desu."
"Hey you like the GazettE? I'm friends with the vocalists sister and my friend is dating Reita." - an actual thing someone walked up and said to me in 2006 at Anime Expo. 
 
My favorite bands are:
[insert absurdly long list of any VK band in existence even if no songs have been released]
 
"GazeRock is Not Dead"

Like that door wasn't wide open already?

"Dogma is such a heavy album!!"

Not mentioning his Marilyn Manson cosplays, or how obviously he stans Kiyoharu. 

Yeah, I notice early Ruki reminds me a lot of Yu-dai from Sex Android, just minus the corpse paint. 
Wait, both bands played Punk, both vocalists have a similar singing style and similar appearance (especially the hair). 
I think I just discovered something
