(21,961 posts)1. So, would you consider this "metalcore"?
They are good musicians, but the only band that I've been able to "like" that uses growling or metalcore is JinJer. It's just a preference.

Visual kei is a movement among Japanese musicians, that is characterized by the use of make-up, elaborate hair styles and flamboyant costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics.
Visual kei (Japanese: ヴィジュアル系, Hepburn: Vijuaru Kei, lit. "Visual Style" or "Visual System" is a movement among Japanese musicians[1][2][3] that is characterized by the use of varying levels of make-up, elaborate hair styles and flamboyant costumes, often, but not always, coupled with androgynous aesthetics,[4][5][6] similar to Western glam rock.[7]
