Hoorah, someone who has an idea on visual kei... and yes it requires a lot of sifting. I think Malice Mizer were the most well known, shame they disbanded although Mana went and formed Moi Dix Mois, sort of a goth speed metal sort of thing and Gackt is like some sort of pop god over in Japan. Dir En Grey seem to be getting a lot of recognition within the international market...

Wow! I haven't listened to Malice Mizer for ages!! I can't really take Gackt seriously after hearing his solo stuff, pretty funny...I found Merveilles pretty hard to listen to but Bel-Air was an awesome song.

I love Opeth, i just don't like their direction on the last few albums!

That might be something to do with the label they are on " Roadrunner "

I love Opeth, i just don't like their direction on the last few albums!

Indeed, Ghost Reveries wasn't really up to par and although Watershed was good for a few listens it isn't an album that stays with you I guess.

Jeff Buckley was totally amazing, such a tragedy that he died so young!!

Jeff Buckley was totally amazing, such a tragedy that he died so young!!

Yeah absolutely. Created one classic and then was gone before he'd even hit my current age... :/ Would have been amazing to see what other great art he would have created if he hadn't have died.
