X Japan Album doesn't come out Mako (of deadman) comes out of hiding, releases something small like some poems, and then goes back and hides again. D'espairsRay teases us again with a return, but it is only a single show Ryo of girugamesh continues to be a cocktease with his youtube stuff all year, finally announces something at the end of 2017 toe does another North American tour aie starts a new band 2017 will be considered a much better year than 2016 for VK There will be more shitty drama on MH

Oh man - why am I so late to this thread? I feel at home here XD
 
MH (Tainted World at the time) was birthed in the middle of VK's new metal phase, and when I look back at my favorite VK bands of that time period, most of them had a heavy nu metal sound. Let's see if can anything that might have been missed band wise.
 
More Mucc because that kid is awesome lol
 
 
Born before Born
 
 
The one good song by this flash of a band (though the nu metal influences are fairly light on the lighter side)
 
 
The Rudie Satan Park...because the lolz. Those that were around TW at the time will know why.
 
@DisposableThis one is for you and Google
 
God Zodia was waaaay too short lived.
 
@TokageMan, I really wish Zilch could have been something that developed more. It's no secret that I am a hide fanboy, but man I feel like that group had a lot of promise.
