I found a japanese band that sounds kinda like SikTh

so no one saw death note? maximum has written 2 songs for that series...

Nope, I'm reading the manga though. I need to go buy more, I just finished the 8th book. Great series IMO! But I do know they made Zetsubou Billy for the series, what's the second song?

For a "Sikthy" band, what about Shy of The Depth?

I actually listened to this about 20 times, but mainly because the faces the singer and the guitarist on the right make are just too hilarious :lol: Still, I gotta keep an eye on this band, they sounded pretty tight. Some parts were too SikThy but I don't mind, they'll probably evolve into their own thing later on.
 
my woman introduced me to them a few months ago. funny band.
She is obsessed with j rock lol. its funny how the japs try to copy north american / european trends and such. these guys remind me more of a japanese system of a down then sikth though.


I`ve seen alot of jap bands that try to be like inflames. funny stuff.

I think it is because for all their technicality and fucked-up-ness, SikTh actually wrote good SONGS. Most of the bands trying to be SikTh just take the crazy tech aspect but can't manage to match the quality or memorability of song.

Ew, I can't stand Blood Stain Child. Sounds like In Flames (whom I don't really like) combined with bad trance and emo (which I don't like either) :Puke:

I dunno what bands you're listening to, but it's definately not very common IMO that Japanese bands are copying North American or European bands. More like they're making stuff like X Japan or Luna Sea, but loads heavier.

hrm, I', not that sure if the secound is written for the series but they used it.
The song is called "What's up people?"

Cool band as well..
 
Went to see them two years ago, I could hardly focus on the band since the crowd was so fucking annoying (99% 13 year old girls who were louder than the PA...).

I've seen them twice, and whenever they come again, I'll go see them. They're one of my favourite bands by far.

Yeah, I wonder what they felt like when they played their first gigs overseas :lol: They make metal with really dark and desperate lyrics, and when they get on stage the ~13 year old audience goes "Eeeek, Kyo-sama, kawaiiiii~ :blush:" at about 140db's :lol:

And I thought that it was really weird that every single one of them went crazy when he started cutting himself as if it was the coolest thing ever. I heard that he doesn't really do it anymore since most of the audience reacts to it wrong. It's meant to shock people, but the fans go "Eeeek, he's so adorable! :blush:"
