Malice Mizer and Dir en Grey

[Kurishii_Chanx3]

Does anyone like J-Metal like Malice Mizer, Dir en Grey, Psycho de cemu, and Larcenciel <- Wouldn't call it J-metal tho. What are your favorite songs

I like Malice Mizer's Beast of Blood and Dir en Grey's Child Prey

How about a japanese band that has made an effort to actually add to music... such as Mad Capsule Markets who are one of the only bands in japan that can ever claim being hardcore punk and later moved into metal creating 4 internationally critically acclaimed albums (digidogheadlock, osc-dis, 010 and CiStm KonFliqT). Aswell as headlining Summer Sonic 3 years in a row and playing at Donnington for 2 years running.

You know as opposed to DEG, LEC, and those other visual kei bands that lets be honest for the most part people like because they are full of pretty boys.

Visual kei is not Metal, it's just their hair metal/Glam rock.

You want some Japanese metal listen to Galneryus.

Or if you want some metal that happens to be made by japanese people and isn't trying to copy everything from america listen to this:

Or if pantera is more your thing and other 90's metal bands (breed 77 for example) how about this:
