It's been kind of a while since I was last able to get excited about a new Japanese band; most of the stuff I've been listening to is either kind of old, or just new stuff from bands I've liked for years.
Just stumbled across this one while listening to samples from a hide tribute album though, and had to look up more from them. Really liking what I hear. There's a nice metal edge in there, of course, but they also have a really great sense for a more "classic" visual kei style, what with the really melodic guitar/bass riffs and all. Really enjoying it. Might have to import some cds soon.
The band is called Dezert.
