D'espairs Ray: a great introduction to Jrock

"D'espairs Ray is a visual kei band formed in 1999, the majority of the band members were in the band Le'Veil that disbanded earlier.

To those unfamiliar with Jrock, D'espairs Ray is a great introduction to it. To some, "hardcore" bands like Dir En Grey are an acquired taste that only few can appreciate. But D'espairs Ray is easily enoyable by all. HIzumi, the vocal, has a great strong voice. Karyu's guitar solos are amazing. D'espairs Ray's songs have a great balance between singing and screaming. Like Dir En Grey, D'espairs Ray's lyrics are dark, talking about the will to die or about how bad the world is, but these messages are sung differently, and less "muted" compared to Dir En Grey to make it more acceptable to all.

Even though, the lyrics are all in Japanese, listening to the music is enough to appreciate D'espairs Ray.

Coll:Set is definitely one of my favorite albums by D'espairs Ray, next to Garnet."

Awesome J-Metal
