- Dir en Grey
- Girugamesh (like, 2007 and back. Not the new Girugamesh. Dreading their latest album...)
- Rin Toshite Shigure (for a more indie feel, Punk)
- Eastern Youth (for a more indie feel, Punk)
- Matenrou Opera (Visual-Kei, Hard Rock, drifting to Metal?..., Visual-Kei)
- DELUHI (Visual-Kei, Hard Rock, Rock, Metal, Metalcore, they're rather experimental nowadays. Case in point: compare first single ORION ONCE AGAIN to new album YGGDALIVE, although I dig both of those..., Visual-Kei)
- MUCC (Rock, Hard Rock)
- D'espairsRay (Rock, Hard Rock, Metal [old D'espa really], Visual-Kei)
- OGRE YOU ASSHOLE (Punk, Indie)
- -OZ- (Rock, Hard-Rock, Metal, Screamo, Visual-Kei)
- MaveRick / Eat You Alive (Rock, Hard Rock, Metal, Screamo, Rap, Visual-Kei)
- Sadie (Rock, Hard Rock, Metal? Visual-Kei)
- Shinkou Shuukyou Gakudan NoGod (Rock, Hard Rock, Visual-Kei)
- TRIBAL CHAIR (Rock, Punk, Hard Rock [I guess...])
- OLDCODEX (Rock, Punk)
- Spinalcord / AUSHVITZ (Metal; I only listened to Spinalcord, xD)
If I ruffle through my Music folder I'd probably find more bands to recommend, but I'm pretty sure this is enough. My personal recommendations are:
Shinkou Shuukyou Gakudan NoGod - cannot go wrong with this band. Almost everything they release has this unique edge to their music that other Visual-Kei bands don't have. Listen to: Strawberry Night, Mr.Children, and the rerecording of Strawberry Night.
MaveRick - their first full album is just awesomeness. Every song is unique and you won't know what kind of song is coming up next. They renamed themselves as Eat You Alive after like, a 3-year hiatus? -shrug- iunno. EYA's more rap-rock, poppier, and more Visual-Kei sounding (if Visual-Kei CAN sound) but they're okay. Listen to: Maverick's a counterfeit heart and my true intentions, Kou, and basically everything else in the "a counterfeit heart and my true intentions MOSQUITO" album.
I especially recommend these two bands because I've listened to them since like, 2005? 2006? Doesn't seem that long, but they've been pretty good throughout those years.
Sorry for the long post! >.<
