Also if i’m just throwing out bands that i think more people would like, check out this unnamed demo from the Czech Republic (iirc) - tell me if i’m crazy but even tho this band has obviously no ties at all to vkei, there’s something very Nagoya / art kei to at least my ears when i hear this band - their guitar work seems to have something in common with Aie’s
I guess i’m just posting these cuz sometimes people will say “this sounds nothing like black metal” and here i am confused bc to me i can about name the Fleurety track they’re quoting.
