Even though "gibkiy gibkiy gibkiy" are a newer band I think it's already safe to say they're one of the greatest vk bands of all time. Even if they were to disband tomorrow my opinion wouldn't change. Because their exitisting work I think is already enough to make this judgement. And they're line-up is fucking legendary kazuma (Merry Go Round), aie (deadman, the god and death stars, the studs), kazu (蜉蝣, DIMMDIVISION., the god and death stars, STEREO.C.K), sakura (L'Arc～en～Ciel ). Nagoya gods I'd like to know what everyone else thinks. Are they even in the discussion after only 2 albums, 1 single, And 2 V.A appearances making for only a total of 24 songs? IMO I really do think so. BTW listening to gibkiy×３ while I wrote this Their discography (LIST WITH IMAGES ONLY NO DOWNLOAD): My honest rating ()

My feelings are still similar while they are not "my current fav." anymore lol I still think they are the best project of Ell(aka L). For anyone who doesn't know he went on to The 3rd birthday(2011-2016) and more recently balalaika (バラライカ)(2016-2018). Both of which I don't care for at all. Amber bullet was his first band. This was their last look in 2011 Active: 2008-2011 Members: Vo. ELL Gt. 41〜Yoichi〜 (†RIP† 2017.04.06) Ba. Hideto (†RIP† 2014.06.17) Support members: Support Dr. AMIYA (ex.

Amber Bullet Ba.hideto announced he would withdraw from live performances starting in 2011/02 as he needed to be hospitalized due to health problems caused by stress.

Some of you may be familiar with more comedic tag "brutal kei" to describe "heavy" visual kei bands who often use vocals and instrumentals seemingly inspired by "heavy metal" genres and sometimes "extreme metal" genres as well. The origins of the term "brutal kei" was coined by "matsuya89" aka @VkBrutaliaN in 2009 and later popularized by myself in 2010 as more of a "troll". I was inspired by a video which has since been removed on youtube; however, a forum discussion on this video and listing the bands used in the video can be found here: http://rockbandfinder.com/top-9-most-brutal-visual-keij-rock-bands/ . (I later found out the video was made and uploaded by @VkBrutaliaN). But the serious origins of this trend in visual kei began with various "Nu metal" tendencies as early as the mid-90s with bands such as: Aliene Ma'riage, ∀NTI FEMINISM, and 妃阿甦(THE PIASS). Today it has become a less prevalent niche but a handful of bands of this type always seem to emerge only to disband very shortly thereafter. Kept alive by a cult following of an obsessive fandom. Many bands of the current wave of this so called "brutal kei" genre incorporate elements of electronica and mostly stick to a blend of metalcore, deathcore, nu metal, and typical vk melodic rock. The vocalist will almost always use harsh vocal techniques such as: screams, pig squeals, and death growls. Some current examples include: Nocturnal Bloodlust, JILUKA, FIXER, DIMLIM, DEXCORE, and many more. Oh and @Takadanobabaalienmy apologies for not mentioning the legendary most br00tal vk band "Deviloof"!!!!!! Are you a fan of this sound?

Hi Everyone, I'm Steve, a graphic designer from Canada who's been into Visual Kei for about 10 years. I'm new to the forums, but I've been creeping everything for a little over 2 years (I'm shy, or stupid or something). I'm finally working from home, so I figured I'd have more time to waste on the internet, and thus, get active on MH! My top 3 bands that I couldn't live without: 1. heidi. 2. Plastic Tree 3. lynch. I like to consider the 2004-2009ish era my personal 'golden age' for VK, so most of my favorite bands are from that era and are as follows. Those are my top three in order, but the rest are a toss up! PIERROT cali≠gari 12012 DEATHGAZE D'espairsRay deadman 9GOATS BLACK OUT DELUHI MERRY girugämesh 蜉蝣 (Kagerou) The GazettE -OZ- Sadie NoGoD ケミカルピクチャーズ 人格ラヂオ 陰陽座 (Onmyo-za) As far as 'newer' bands go (I'm getting old), these guys are alright by me: AvelCain Develop One's Faculties DEZERT DIV HOLLOWGRAM KEEL My BACTERIA HEAT IsLAND Umbrella 黒百合と影 (Kuroyuri to Kage) - - - I like regular J-Rock too (AKFG, FACT, etc.) and as far as English music goes, I mostly like 90's era shoegazing goodness (Ride, Chapterhouse, mbv, etc.) and a little Ringo Deathstarr/Fleeting Joys. Japanese Rock has been a part of my life for a really long time, and I owe it to sites like this for keeping the love alive! I'm glad to be a part of it nao. Sorry for the band-spam! I like lists and paragraphs. See you in the forums

I'm looking for CALLING lyrics, specially the song "you". I prefer Kanji/Romanji, and if you also have a translation would be great. Thanks in advance
