The thing about Eroguro is the name is quite a misnomer xD. I mean, not all eroguro art is really erotic or grotesque. It's just that that's how it began, and those happen to be 2 of the most common elements. For the most part, it's based on irony, nonsensicality, and just plain weirdness. 
But they do often actually touch the ero part, as they do have songs about Rape, etc. For example, Gichigichi and Gesshoku. Gichigichi is actually also named for a one of Suehiro Maruo's manga, known as Gichigichi Kun. What's ironic though is that the manga is one of Maruo's few works that isn't all macabre, or weird and stuff xD. I guess that's why they named the song Gichigichi, because it's ironic and sort of doesn't make sense for the song's content. (Which is kind of the biggest element in Eroguro xD).  
 
I really hate it though when people call The GazettE or Dir En Grey "EroguroKei", and then go on to call any band that wears black lipstick (mostly KoteKei bands) EroguroKei. Like The GazettE may possibly be influenced by Sex Android, but that's about it. And Dir En Grey, they're more western style Macabre if anything. 

I would still say that KYTK has 'guro' writing a lot about shit and vomit and death, dirty looks etc. but they don't really touch the ero shit XD so yeah this is righttt.
 
I always like that lip makeup where it's smeared in the corner of the mouth so it looks like you got jacked in the mouth with some brass haha

All of the scat stories about Juka are true

Oh shit! I almost forgot THE SOUND BEE HD's "Walking Dead" look:

SIOUX ! And whatever band Tenten is now in. 

so big so sorry

Gonna give it to GRIMOIRE. 
For an individual look at these amazing outfits go here

Chariots latest is nice as well: 

Sioux, definitely.

THE BLACK SWAN:

my snatch is also taken.

KISAKI deserves an extra 2 birthday cakes this year specifically FOR that Tanuki mess a while ago. Here's to another year of the same makeup **

Yeah it's all down to contract, Kuroyume as an act had been popular for almost a decade at the point of signing with AVEX. The label also took over all of his solo stuff and SADS work too, so to them Kiyoharu is what you call a "life-r" (someone who remains with the company even when doing different acts and projects) He's someone respected enough on the scene and in the business that it's not unwise to leave him with creative control and save a fortune on his contract by not insisting on buying his name(s) (something that he could just refuse and look for a less tight-fisted company.
 
this is a guess
 
Idk shit about the music industry, everything I know about contracting and promotional rights is from profashional rassling.

Not bad – robot screams and Instrumentals reminds me a bit of  'not obtain+1' 12012 / DEZERT XD Definitely a 'raw' band – I like that

Hahaha I actually love this, like doing the Kevin Bacon game with bandmen XD

<3 silent difference I played BELIAL nonstop when it came out!
 
VANITAS VANITATUM is also good from the one single i heard years ago loll

In the same vein of metal-core meets hard rock meets trance like Razor seems to be doing, but make it a bit more raw and throw in some creepy nursery rhyme sounding melodies.

This is my other top song from them. Granted, I haven't listened to their whole discography-- only from when their 2nd guitarist quit and onwards I think.

@Elazmus@Gichi GichiAgreed - RED ZONE got me hooked. I totally see your point about BORN's 'hooks' – I felt that was always their problem – Most of the songs were mediocre at best, and you were just waiting for the chorus or w/e. I did like their RENNY AMY era stuff though. RAZOR is a good direction for all of these talented dudes.
@Peace Heavy mk III never tried Scapegoat out – Anything good there?

late BORN made me so frustrated for him when a single would come out and his hook was the only tolerable part of the song - this is exactly what I've wanted to happen to him for like 6 years
