I posted a link to a song from the album with the sound I'm looking for. I can't read moonrune at all, but google translate says it's "Meme - Land is a bit". I don't think that's accurate though.

Guys I really fucking Love Boris. I really like how they have a little bit of everything ranging from Rock, Drone, Pop, Ambient and so on. Need some recommendations please. Anything it doesn't necessarily have to Azn.

Boris is an obvious one.

Boredoms (noise rock to fuck to), Midori (funk punk loud as shit), Mass Of The Fermenting Dregs (I see people calling them post-rock and shoegaze but I never really saw them as either, but check them out nonetheless), 385 (like Midori), Maximum The Hormone (metal/hardcore I guess, a lot of energy and eccentricity), Shoji Meguro, etc.

/mu/ what's the best pop-rock or visual-kei bands?

>go to karaoke
>realize i hate most japanese music outside of a few old dir en grey songs, perfume and random math-rock bands

KAZURAMOS

Koji Kondo
Shoji Meguro
Tsukasa Masuko
Yumi Kawamura
Susumu Hirasawa

Shinsei Kamattechan

>>48802980
Kuroyume, Phobia, Kagerou are the best old style visual kei bands imo.
From the later wave, I liked D'espairsRay up until and including their first album, and of course MUCC though they dropped the ball HARD with their later albums.
