I just browsed yesasia.com to look for some new stuff and I saw a band called Girugamesh, well looks cool…kinda remind me a little of Dir en Grey. I decided to listen to them. But, actually I forgot what made me listened to their song because I’m kinda lazy to hear another visual “suck” kei band.
Well, in some way. I downloaded their song and listened to their “13’s Reborn” album yesterday and I have to say that this is another new sound to my JRock vocabulary, unlike visual “stupid” kei band like Gazette, Nightmare, or Alice nine. Girugamesh is in a whole different level, they have the power of slipknot and deep sound like Dir en Grey, although they haven’t reach that far though. But, in the future I think their prospect is big.
Girugamesh consists of Satoshi (vocals), Ryo (drums), Nii (Guitar) and Shuu (bass). They only have Nii as a guitarist, so they don’t give much melodic sound like many bands with two guitarist like Dir en Grey .But, I think Nii has a nice instinct to make a good Guitar Riff, so it’s enough with only him as a guitaris. A band that also has only one guitarist is Despairs Ray.
