wow okay this is a big one. music is something that keeps me alive, on a level deeper than i can bring out with words. as i write this, i'm listening to leech by the gazette (wearing my gazette shirt) and thinking about the state of the band. i dont really think about anything besides my favorite bands nowadays, and i guarantee i wont be thinking about much else for a while to come. the dir en grey album uroboros is probably one of the most influential pieces of media for me, with my favorite tracks being vinushka and glass skin. i would strongly recommend diru if you like punkier metal (their older stuff) and experimental metal (newer stuff + mortal downer) and i really hope you check them out! if you like a more electronic sound, but enjoy heavier drums and guitar with very unique vocals in terms of timbre, i would totally recommend kebyo! theyre my favorite band! sorry for the yap, have a good day!
