EAT YOU ALIVE, Malice Mizer, D'espairsRay, Phantasmagoria, DEATHGAZE, and surprisingly Girugamesh
I learned a lot from Kami from Malice Mizer, bless his soul.
EAT YOU ALIVE had that western influence that sounded so natural.
D'espairsRay had that scary Korn sound that I could not find anywhere else.
Phantasmagoria is just great.
DEATHGAZE, especially the early days was satisfyingly brutal.
Girugamesh was awesome until the NOW album, got turned off after that, and got me hooked again on their final release. They got their sound back, but had to disband, which is sad.
