Mamo 1172 Posted December 20, 2016 (edited) These are in my opinion two of the best new visual kei bands going right now and I've been considering pitting them against each other for awhile now. So after discovering that JILUKA are also from Tokyo (accodring to @Duwang) I finally decided to do it. So both of these bands formed in Tokyo both formed in 2013 and both have a very heavy and electronic sound. Both often employ growls, screams, and in Fixer's case pig squeals as well. Both bands have also used clean singing and more melodic songs in nature as well and tend to combine elements of both within most of their songs. Both bands also tend to use techniques often seen in metalcore such as breakdowns featuring guitar solo's and harsh vocals: including the ones mentioned above. So after that kind of detailed introduction lol the only question remaining is who is better or rather who does it better I guess since they basically have the same sounds. JILUKA FIXER FIGHT!

Euthanasia 333 Posted December 20, 2016 FIXER. I really liked their latest single, and I've been liking Jey vocals since ReivieЯ. But JILUKA is ok too tho. 1 appl- reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

appl- 313 Posted December 20, 2016 D.I.D. vs JILUKA would sound legit too. I like both bands. But damn. Jey will always be my bro. So I go for Fixer. I saw Fixer live and they are suuuuuper fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
VkBrutaliaN 1890 Posted December 20, 2016 this would've been a tough choice about a year ago but because FIXER's last single (since Starwave Records) was pure lameness i only can go for JILUKA!! 1 Mamo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DizzyShiori 22 Posted December 20, 2016 Definitely JILUKA! They have nice killer breakdowns (like in Lethal Affliction) and Ricko has such a beautiful clean voice (you will hear in Monophobia <3). And they seem so happy when they are on stage (Ricko was smiling the whole time). 2 Mamo and IGM_Oficial reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JamesR 119 Posted December 21, 2016 Jiluka, D.I.D. and Fixer are the holy trinity of VK metalcore I think this particular battle might be too close to call - I enjoy the atmospheric/DeG moments in Fixer's sound as much as I like the vicious djenting and breakdowns of Jiluka, but since Divine Error is still fresh in my mind(killer track!), my vote goes for Jiluka. 3 appl-, IGM_Oficial and Mamo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I only wish that D.I.D. would get back to doing something. Hopefully they don't disband but I'm pretty uncertain about their future especially since their ohp went down. But anyway yes D.I.D., FIXER, AND JILUKA are indeed the holy trinity of vk metalcore. Although personally I think D.I.D. is on a whole different level compared to the other two. Perhaps it's because they're slightly more seasoned especially Akane. Btw almost time for "Divine Error" Edited December 21, 2016 by sume7 4 IGM_Oficial, JamesR, Ada Suilen and 1 other reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
IGM_Oficial 1964 Posted December 21, 2016 (edited) I wish that there was a split between Jiluka and Nocturnal bloodlust. Let me dream alone Edited December 21, 2016 by IGM_Oficial 1 Ada Suilen reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ada Suilen 652 Posted December 21, 2016 Interesting choice... I didn't like Jiluka on their early times, then they become so blasting after their comeback from the hiatus, with each release better than the previous! About Fixer, I got more on them since they joined Starwave Records (the same name album was promising and even MaercS was a good one) So I go for Jiluka! 1 Mamo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Nisshoku 14 Posted December 23, 2016 I'll go with Jiluka! They totally got me with Lethal Affliction. I discovered them a few months ago.

"Nocturnal Bloodlust" would Probably be more suited for "D.I.D.," even though "D.I.D." isn't very big now they were back when they were in "Danger Crue" and when they were going to tour with "Pay Money To My Pain." I might do that battle next. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
patientZERO 1066 Posted December 24, 2016 I am a huge fan of both bands, but JILUKA has the talent, the look, and the consistency that Fixer lacks. Also, Fixer's production quality has been going down, especially last release. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Takato 144 Posted December 24, 2016 JILUKA. FIXER is too electronic for me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
itsukoii 1300 Posted December 24, 2016 jiluka, of course. they were one of the first vk bands i got into, so they hold a spot pretty close to home for me (an unfair advantage but still a valid one). overall, though, their music to me sounds better than fixer's. their breakdowns, zyean's blast beats, sena's near-mia-status guitaring, and ricko's voice. his screams are up there in my favourites, and even his clean singing voice is really enjoyable for me (usually i don't like clean singing voices unless they're pretty damn impressive). i tried getting into fixer because i liked ReivieЯ, but,,, they'll never be up to par with jiluka in my eyes. not a bad band, but not the best, either. 2 IGM_Oficial and Mamo reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
