Julien Verge 5 Posted April 26, 2016 Hi everyone! My name is Julien and i'm 27 years old. I'm from Holland and I work in the music industry as a manager (have been for about 8 years now). I'm really new to the Visual Kei scene, I've been working with Visual Metal band for a while now and they introduced me to it. I've been trying to learn more about the scene ever since. I stumbled on Monochrome Heaven while looking for places to learn and to sometimes post updates on related issues to the band. However, I didn't just want to come here to post updates I'd like to learn more and be more involved in the scene. So i'm happy to be here if everyone else doesn't mind =). 3 beni, doombox and paradoxal reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Julien Verge 5 Posted April 26, 2016 Thanks! Well of course BatAAr which is the band I work with. I've become a bit of a babymetal fan. I like Coldrain (but i'm not really sure if they count) and I've been a long time fan of Dir en Grey. Apart from that i'm a complete n00b to bands in this genre. Any tips? 1 doombox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
doombox 4421 Posted April 26, 2016 Well of the bands you listed I'd really only consider BatAAr and (old) Dir en grey visual. The rest are just j-metal. But I'm also a huge coldrain fan and I like Babymetal a lot. Great choices! Some of the popular bands Dir en grey fans like are lynch. and girugamesh. For coldrain style I'd say Crossfaith and SiM. They aren't exactly the same but they have western influence and sing in English too. Since you like Babymetal maybe check out NoGoD and Nocturnal Bloodlust. If you have trouble looking any of them up I can supply youtube links. 1 Julien Verge reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Julien Verge 5 Posted April 26, 2016 Oh I forgot about SiM! I've been listening to them for a while now too. They're quite good. Girugamesh I heard of for the first time yesterday from BatAAr members. I'll go look up the rest! Thanks! 1 doombox reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

enyx 903 Posted April 27, 2016 (edited) Welcome to MH! Don't worry about not being too knowledgeable of the VK scene; I'm not particularly familiar with it either (at least in comparison to a lot of the other members) but there's a lot of people with pretty diverse tastes here so I'm sure you wont feel out of place. Hope to see you around! Edited April 27, 2016 by Pho Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
