[Album] Best j-metal band

As of lately, the band Dir en grey has definitely become more metal than they ever have. Their recent single infact resembles Metalcore with some Thrash involved. It's quite awesome. That being said, they are definitely my favorite metal/hard rock band from there. Another band I love is called Galneryus. They're a power metal band, and yes..they can be cheesy at times, but their music is amazing. Their guitarist is young, but DAMN can he play.


Some of the other bands mentioned here I wouldn't card...metal either [Gazette, Malice Mizer]. They have METAL songs, but they're not a metal band by any means I think.

There's another band I dont listen to, but I do like them. Blood Stain Child. I had an album of theirs and I thought it was rather nice, but you can tell they're influenced by Children of Bodom. Hehe.

Most amazing jew boots

six Ugly and beyond. They've been becoming more and more metal.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

I disagree with that comment on nu-metal, because I feel that their vocalist at least gives a genuine feeling of fury and anger, where as most nu-metal vocalists are pretty whiney and talk about 'hate' [aka Jon Davis] but not in a real sense, but just to get a shock feel for it. I mean, I know some of their songs are nu-metal esque, but I don't think nu-metal is bad...if done right.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Personally, I thought that one Japanese band MUCC...should have been at Family Values. I think they would have been perfect. I would have liked to see tour with the Taste of Chaos bands. Perhaps they will in the future. Hehehe.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Galneryus' 'Advance To The Fall' is PERFECT if you're into the Power Metal.

I was speaking idiomatically.
