Similar artists/bands too...

[IDused]

hi all, can someone reccomend me some bands that are similar to:
12012 and the GazettE ?
just heard some songs from 12012 and i really liked it but cant seem to find any bands who are just as good or similar.

thanks

Try out Girugamesh, they are quite nice but i don't know they are the same genre or not!

i checked out nightmare and i like it

will check the others tommorow.

@vagabond888, doesnt have to be in the exact same genre
thanks for replying

Hmm, I just noticed that the 3 bands you like are all visual kei bands, lol. Are you a fan of the genre? If so, then I'd recommend these other v-kei/oshare kei (a subgroup in v-kei) bands:

- alice nine
- Antic Cafe
- D'espairsRay
- LM.C
- Phantasmagoria (they just disbanded though D=)
- Sadie
- Versailles
- X Japan (fairly old band but their music just AWESOME. You might want to wait a bit when they re-release their old albums sometime this month before checking them out.)

Only two bands come to mind that are completely simular to GazettE, and that's SKULL who sound like a amateur version of GazettE and ScReW which are hybrid of Dir en grey & GazettE.

Also, you'll most likely prefer D'espairs Ray since 12012 is heavily influenced by them.
