A classic VK song by a classic VK band: Eve of Laputa
 

Hey, welcome to MH! Congrats on your transition! A lot of people have credited visual kei for exploring their gender/sexuality, as you can check out in this thread here! We also really love 90s kei as well!! You can check out bands like La'veil Mizeria, Crucifixion, and Grieva if you'd like to hear newer bands preserve the 90s sound and cheesy gothy goodness ^^
 
Hope you enjoy your time here!   if you have any questions, feel free to message me, or anyone else with a red, blue, or green name! 💖

Hey everybody,
I've decided to make a profile since I've been reading posts here for years. I've been into VK since  2006-2007(I was 12-13 back then, I'm almost 24 now) and I still listen to it 24/7, nothing else, haha.. Also been to a few concerts (when bands use to come to The Netherlands which they rarely do nowadays). VK was also an outlet for me to dress feminine and eventually start hormones/surgeries(5-6 years ago). I use to dress up (inspired by a few bandmembers) and live my life like that, haha, but I'm kinda basic now clothing-wise.. I'm more into the early VK era now (90s) but mainly 'cause I've listened to almost all the 2000-2012 stuff and didn't pay the early era's much attention until 2012. I'm not so much into the newer era.. You can check my likes-playlist on youtube: thewebsweweaved to check out what I like(I listen to more VK bands through cds etc, a lot of stuff is deleted on youtube). Maybe someone here has suggestions so I can check 'em out. It's hard to find people that like the same music. It truly is a big passion of mine and I can't describe how much I love the sounds, vocals and unique beats of some songs. Sorry for my long ass intro and thanks for reading to those that did.. x

Some of these are early jrock/metal bands so idk if they're qualify as VK or not but~
 
Top 10 All-Time
(in no particular order)
 
Sleep My Dear - I feel like they were kind of underrated? :v MIRAGE and MOVE  were such good albums.
Kaya - <3
BUCK-TICK - I'm pretty sure 90% of their discography is a combo of smut & despair but oh well, the music is excellent.
LUNA SEA - I like all the eras tbh
DEAD END - SERAFINNNAAAAAA
Seikima II - ARCADDIIIAAAAAAA
Art Cube - why aren't they still a thing.
SEX ANDROID - <333
ROUAGE - MIND is still one of my top favorite albums of all time.
the GazettE - they were my first VK band, so I still have a lot of fondness for 'em. ;v
 
 
Top 10 Current
yumeleep  -  I like them a lot? I was disappointed when melvel split, so I'm hoping this regroup works out (it probably won't).
LIPHLICH  - dark cabaret gives me life.
Golden Bomber  - I mean, my sig speaks for itself.
lack.co  - get past the debut and they're actually decent as an indie group.
UNDER FOREST  - Yousei Teikoku vibes.
crows  - oldie but goodie. 2008 era with a slim discography.
MASCHERA - my friendo introduced me to this and I've been addicted ever since.
Janne Da Arc  - do I have to explain this one.
…。【silence】  - I think this is actually more of an indie/experimental group, but :^)
ramiel  - nice vibes all around, and I love the video set-ups.
 
 

I think I found a pic of you. 
 
 

It's been quite a while since my last visit to Monochrome Heaven. Some of you may remember me, but a lot of you may not. 
I've already introduced myself way back in 2011, so I've decided to make a new introduction thread 😁
Anyway...
 
My name's Kacper and I'm from Poland. I'm currently 26.
My major hobbies include heavy metal, learning Japanese, drawing, computer graphic design and some sport activities during free time  
When it comes to music, I love power/speed metal, traditional heavy metal and a bit of thrash. But when there is something else and it doesn't have to be metal, I like it too 😉
I've been into Japanese music since 2008, started with Visual Kei, then progressed into J-metal.
My favourites range from classic (X Japan, Loudness, Seikima-II, Bow Wow/Vow Wow, Anthem, Outrage) to modern bands (Sex Machineguns, The Kanmuri, Gargoyle, Concerto Moon, Crossfaith, Dir en Grey). Perhaps, there is anyone else into Japanese metal?  
There's a chance I'll be writing album reviews in the future
 
Anyway, nice to meet you all and to some of you nice to see you all again  

No one's posted White Veil from his youtube channel yet? I'll do the honors then.

At least he's not trying to look like Axl Rose anymore.

this is very unnecessary, but he's not the worst vocalist in vk so why not, lowkey curious what kind of sound he's going for with the solo thing.

Well, I applaud him for confidence and guts.
But imho he isn’t unique, but if he can serve good music and management team, he may able to   have good solo career

Does he have a actual fanbase? (Besides himself I mean)

Side project klaxon! The other dudes are knee deep in CROSS VEIN album promo for now so maybe after that's done?
Besides, how else ZIN gonna eat now he's lost TERU's artisanal pastries?
