Did the western metal scene died around 2012?

Why is it only Japan that can make good metal music nowadays?

>Did the western metal scene died around 2012

No, only post metal took a small hit after ISIS disbanded.

You clearly just made this thread to bait people into watching Visual Kei bands. Even you should know for every decent Visual Kei band there are several bad ones. And in Visual Kei there is always some sort of aesthetic all the other bands try to mimic once one of the bands make some success. Most of those bands looks like Mejibray clones.

I can not take any Japanese band seriously, especially idol group bullshit.

Whenever a genre "dies" there's at least some people in Japan keeping it alive and somewhat relevant, even rockabilly

Fuck off

Pick one. Babymetal is less of a joke than these goth fuckboys.

fuck off weeb

Boris?

The Mass of Fermenting Dregs?

Mass of the Fermenting Dregs is top tier, but that's because they aren't visual kei trash like what OP posted. World's End Girlfriend is also really good, but they're not metal.

I fucking love these bands holy shit.

>Morrigan
Could you please upload some of their ep's/singles/albums? Can't find them anywhere

op seems like the kind of guy who only listens to youtube playlists

The only good Japanese metal is Sabbat and that was from the 90s. Death to false pop metal, only trve metal shall live on.

Gojira is the best Japanese metal band. Wait...

I want more like this. Does any have any suggestions other than early Dir en grey and Kuroyume?

>Unlucky Morpheus
Is this still Touhou metal?
>I'm shit noodle
Still less ridiculous than An Cafe.

I saw a Japanese band open up for Iron Lung, and they had two bassists and no guitarist.
Any chance someone might know the name of this band?

Wasn't their name on the announcement? And what kind of music did they play?

>implying Mass of the Fermenting Dregs is metal

What are they?

Weren't they supposed to be a shoegaze band?
