Whats up guys, here we have a new band. After the last two single and the new single preview I'm thinking i really like them. For current vk, i'm thinking that they might be my number 3. I love the way they do metalcore, for me they do it best in vk (outside of vk I'm not sure). I like how the vocalist harsh vocals are not pathetic and are adding to the music. Clean sing wise it is good, but i not sure if he is really in it (singing from the heart), please tell what think about this. umm instrumental wise they have great break down, and other parts they are good. Also like the rap/cute bits. still waiting for them to make me cum. Looks: I like the first one, individuals for for eclipse and the last 2 were great (the vocalist character especially) . eclipse pv was horrible though.

GAZTREA is a band from Germany somewhere between Metal, Pop and Visual Kei influences. http://www.gaztrea.com Vocals: Kal Guitar: Sai Guitar: Momo Bass: Cozmo Drums (Support): Daniel

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?

So I've decide to show these guys love and get a discussion going. I loved all of their "Rebirth" releases from 2016-2017! chariots Active: 2007-2018 Members: 戮 (Riku) - Vocals 迅 (Jin) - Bass 美景 (Mikage) - Drums chariots formed in November 2007 by Riku ex.

I'm fairly certain I botched at least a few of those rap lines very badly, but I tried. Feel free to let me know if you have any corrections.

So I have previously had this discussion with "JILUKA" winning beating "FIXER" by 72% of the votes. So with their new mini-albums released last month I thought this would be a good time to re-open this discussion. So this one can be view two different ways either you can judge weather "JILUKA" is still better than "FIXER" or you simply judge the mini-albums only. I'll set up the poll so you can't vote for the minis and the bands themselves or just the bands if you prefer. Oh and unrelated but they toured together recently as well which is pretty awesome VS. FIGHT!!!

I can't believe there's no thread about them, this band is FREAKING AMAZING! One of the best in their genre *__* Did you guys ever hear about them? What do you think about this band?

Infernal Form is a melodic progressive metalcore band that started their activities in 2008 as a cover band, and switched to making their own stuff in March 2010. They are based in Serbia. They released their first EP shortly after. After their first release, they made a pause to compose and record a new set of songs (and to rearrange some old ones), only to release their first full album named "To All" on October 29th 2014. Currently the guys are working on promoting their first album, but also on composing new songs. Soundcloud Facebook Twitter Youtube Honestly I started getting more and more into metalcore recently, and they're among the best that my country has to offer, so I'm here to share some love ^-^
