Peace Heavy mk II 7200 Posted August 23, 2013 I don't know how to handle vkei bands that describe themselves as "gothic" but then actually make gothic music instead of castelvania nonsense. Samples were alright, but that description was pretentious as fuck. 1 TheBistroButcher666 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seikun 317 Posted August 23, 2013 Interesting music and voice, but I don't anyhting in the band that says "this is Visual Kei"... O.o By the way, I watched ZAKURO PV and the guitar reminded me very much of L'arc en ciel... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
