zepphead Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 I've listened to a few of these kawaii metal bands ... Babymetal, Aldious, Band-Maid are the ones who spring to mind. I find it all a wee bit weird and creepy to be honest. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I find it all a wee bit weird and creepy to be honest.I dislike heavy metal as a genre so throwing a Kawaii voice into the mix changes the thing I dislike, making them fun and not so absurdly and consciously dark. It`s the sound of male HM vocalists I dislike, not the guitars/bass/drums, so they strike a good balance for me. As do most guitar instrumentalists. Not for everyone, I get that :haz: 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unless someone can assure me that that's ok lol!) I'm not a fan of Babymetal (haven't listened to other similar bands) because all I see is a manufactured Asian pop vocal group with the requisite choreographed dance moves with formula pop music behind them, just made heavier to sound metal. Musically, I have no use for it. That BAND-MAID clip is different -- if you played that for me without the video I'd never guess it was five girls in maid outfits. There's some strong compositional work there, and strong musicianship. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's some strong compositional work there, and strong musicianship.Well, lots of musicians and bands that have achieved great things were manufactured by a manager or exec at some point and to some extent, not all of course. I`m not going to disregard something for that reason. I think they`re an interesting hybrid and music doesn`t need to be deep all the time. And I reiterate - I don`t have their DVDs, I`m not watching dance moves :tsk: If it weren`t for the video, then I`m sure most people would think the intro was intriguing - as I did, so that`s why I took a chance on one of their records. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He does sing pretty clean. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
