Hi!
After lurking for a good while, I thought I might as well finally make an account here.
I’ve spent a lifetime with vk to varying degrees of passion. Sometimes very intensely listening on daily basis, sometimes it’s just been a thing in the background with occasional crying-myself-to-sleep-to-cassis moments. But in the end visual kei has been the only constant in my life since forever, so it’s something pretty important to me.
I tend to like most vk eras. From old school stuff to modern bands, maybe only the nightmare-girugamesh era is a moment in time I don’t really care for. I was somewhat inactive member at Monochrome Heaven before this, so it’s nice to see a board still dedicated to this stuff.
At this point I’ll probably follow Dir en grey and Gazette to my grave.
From more modern acts I really like The Madna, but I haven’t been keeping up with their newer releases, I think there might have been a slight drop in quality(?) Lynoas is also something that really grabbed me few years ago. Although I think it might be my inner Avel✡cain fan just looking for anything that sounds even vaguely like Karma, and Lynoas vocals have similar-ish tone to them despite the music being a bit different.
Stuff like Kakumay, Fukuro, Xanvala are always solid too.
I’m probably forgetting some, but just from the top of my head.
Nice, I am a long time Gazette fan too! I broke up with DeG around 2010 but it seems we have both matured some since then so I might give them anothe chance now that I am back to actively following the scene. So far I have really liked Sukekiyo too.
All the other names you mentioned are on my “to check out” list that keeps getting longer by the minute
This sentence has so much meaning for me. Welcome aboard!
i love that
