Does anyone know any band that is similar to Jikkendai Marmot?

[accede 3]

Would love some recommendations for bands similar to these:

 

A Ghost of Flare

Before My Life Fails

Crystal Lake

Her Name In Blood

LOST

Sailing Before The Wind

Translations

 

Some good post-hardcore/metalcore. Breakdowns and all that jazz.

Envy, Metal Safari, Crossfaith(tons of electronic sounds tho), the darkness of lucifer, edge of spirit. Those might be somewhat similiar

Already have all the stuff from Crossfaith, The Darkness of Lucifer, and Edge of Spirit. Don't really like Metal Safari since they're most towards just regular metal, not what I'm looking for.

 

Haven't heard of Envy before, looked them up and YouTube and listened to "worn heels and the hands we hold", and that song is incredible. Listening to Recitation now.

You can also try Arise in Stability if you haven't heard them before

Arise In Stability is awesome. Can't wait for more material from them.

 

Here's a list of all the bands I have from Japan, if anyone has any recommendations similar to these that are not listed, please do tell. Most of this is either metalcore/hardcore, so check a band out if you haven't heard of them and are on this list.

You can try MergingMoon, they are melodic death metal band, in the past they use male vocal but now they are with female vocal ( yes she can scream)

for deathcore, try Death I Am or nocturnal bloodlust (before they are changed to VK)

oh I forget to tell HONE YOUR SENSE, Hammerhead Shark, Shatter Silence, Myproof, Sailing before the wind, FEAR FROM THE HATE, NEW BREED, INFECTION, ROACH, Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas

Oh man, thanks so much for the suggestions! Found some amazing bands in your lists. Already had a couple, but I can't any downloads for Hammerhead Shark's music and I can't find Infection's "The Armchair Theory" either

 

Thanks a ton.

Does anybody know any bands similar to . . .

 

ネオン (neon), Airish, and (some of) Blu-billion? Sort of an ambient visual kei consistent with light, perky vocals. The bands don't necessarily have to be vk, I'm just looking for something relaxing with those sort of aspects. 

 

[Manabu 144]

Some heavy instrumental stuff please! with a emphasis on guitar work, lots of solos and interesting parts would be good

not looking for much more than that, I'd prefer faster stuff

I hear touhou hits some of those boxes so if anyone could point me in a direction to tart that would be great

[Pandabear 414]

^ I don't know that many Japanese instrumental bands, however if they don't have to be Japanese, I can recommend a bucket load of amazing stuff. I'm a guitar nerd so I actively listen for technical guitar artist's/bands. Here are some I enjoy.

 

Animals As Leaders

 

John 5

 

Pomegranate Tiger

 

Intervals

 

Guthrie Govan

 

Jeff Loomis

 

Those should get you started.

 

 

 

 

 

[bonsaijodelfisch 328]

did i hear touhou?

 

you need some demetori in your life! fast super-cheesy fistpumping guitarwank-shred-powermetal

 

[DeithX252 1266]

instrumental, heavy and fast? try BLANKFIELD, thanks to Zess that introduce this awesome touhou stuff

 

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

Well, as some of you may know I am going to tokyo for a year soon and I want some recommendation on bands to check out.

I already know major and famous bands that I want to see, however I do want to experience the small indie crowd in tiny livehouses. So can anyone recommend me some indie vk bands with a smaller audience?

Bands I am going to check out already: Ru:natic, MILKY EMILY, The Gallo & Cell.

 

Any recommendation are welcome, and it doesn't have to be "kotekote sound".

 

thanks

Well, two of the "why aren't they more popular?" bands I discovered while I was there were The Sherry and Neverland, so maybe give those bands a go? Beyond that, the best thing to do would just be to go to a random live and hope you made a good gamble XD

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

Yeah, sorry I forgot to add but I kinda wanna listen now if they may have something on youtube or elsewhere. Just to get a glimpse of how the bands may sound D: But of course I will also go to livehouses and just hope to see some good bands.

[Biopanda 2675]

Oh, well there's sadly not much online by those bands but here's what there is

 

Neverland:

The Sherry:

 

Oh and 【MU:】 was pretty awesome the few times I saw them as well

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

Neverland and MU: sounded really great, will probably check them out. 8D

[Gaz 1097]

kinda weird to not see grieva in your list, oh well :v

i want to recommend you some great kinda koteish bands, maybe you already knew about them, but fuck it anyway

 

La'veil MizeriA

 

Lost Angel (ex. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i5pNcEZVhAQ'>Viscaria members new band)

Mess

Crucifixion

[Takadanobabaalien 3607]

Actually I don't like Grieva haha. Hope nobody hates me now :v but kotekote inspired band are always welcome, I totally forgot about La'veil and will definitely check them out. Will listen to the other samples you posted now, thanks alot

[Guest mitsubana]

@ Uglymouth, it's cool~ I don't like Grieva either-haha-

 

I recommend ANSIA, Annabyss Coast, and 蒼-AO- for indie bands.

These are my personal faves~ Dunno know if you'll like them, but worth a try, right?
