itsukoii 1300 Posted March 14, 2016 hi !! i'm really lame. you can call me itsu, itsuko, or itsukoii, i don't care. somehow i stumbled across this forum. decided to lurk for a bit before deciding to join. i'm actually quite new to the whole VK scene. i only came across it in December of 2015 but have loved it ever since. the first band i found was Mejibray, and they hold a very special place in my heart. i then came across more bands, such as Nocturnal Bloodlust, Jiluka, -OZ-, Dio ~Distraught Overlord~, Deviloof, UnsraW, DEATHGAZE, Sadie, D.I.D., Gossip, Lycaon, Dir en Grey, By:ARLANT, Delacroix, girugamesh... some others as well. yet i'm still looking for more! i really like the heavier side of VK, especially screams and screeches and heavy instrumentals. i'd really love more band recommendations if anybody has them !! uh yeah that's all. i hope to learn a lot of new things here! 5 paradoxal, beni, Aferni and 2 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

doombox 4421 Posted March 14, 2016 Welcome to the madhouse! I always love hearing what newer bands got people into vk. I also love the heavier/darker side of it. Some I didn't see mentioned you might find worth checking out are DADAROMA, THE BLACK SWAN, Far East Dizain, Fixer, Kuroyuri to kage, Misanthropist, NoGoD, Rikugo, SCAPEGOAT, Sel'm... They all seem to be fairly popular so maybe you already know of them. 1 Chi reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No problem, I thought the easier to find, the better. XD We also do a monthly recommendation series that may help you find new artists. They cover a wider range of J-rock than just vk if you're open to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gekiai 231 Posted March 16, 2016 Wow and I thought I was a total green horn to the scene, welcome to the forums! You have a pretty good taste, and the other's have mentioned some really good bands. I also recommend Pentagon and Purple Stone, they're not super dark but they both have unique sounds. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
