Gazerock Is Not Dead!

the GazettE is a Japanese visual kei-based rock band formed early in 2002.


Introducing the band members...(/^0^)/

 Ruki (Vocal)           Reita (Bass)
Aoi (Guitar)                Uruha (Guitar)
Kai (Drums)


MUSICAL STYLE
the GazettE's musical style varies greatly, but it is generally thought of to be a form of rock music while delving into the genres of heavy metal like "Ogre" and alternative metal like "Taion" and "The Invisible Wall". Songs like "Silly God Disco" and "Swallowtail on the Death Valley" feature a funk rock sound, while songs like "LEECH" and "Hyena" feature a hard rock sound. Other songs like "Maggots", "Discharge" and "Headache Man" dwell into heavier forms of music, in particular, metalcore. the GazettE also uses a wide range of synthesized sounds during their songs, including female voices, shown in songs such as "Filth in the beauty," and "Leech". the GazettE utilizes various tunings to achieve different atmospheres and style of music. They originally used standard tuning but overtime have shifted into 1 step down and are now currently using Drop B as their primary tuning.

Within all their heavy work, The Gazette has also produced a number of ballads, including "Nakigahara,", "Reila", "Guren", and "Cassis".

1st time dgr word 'gazerock' :D
sblom ni penah dgr shoegaze je. kat jepon ada tak genre shoegaze? :p

Unknown said...

Mr Noble... gazerock tu bukan genre la... tu motto utk kumpulan the GazettE ni... xD
shoegaze...??? (o_o) never heard of them. jenama kasut ek? xD

mrnoble said...

haha! ok2. patut la xpenah dgr pon :p

shoegaze tu sejenis genre music. music ni mostly instrumental. the terms came from the musician yg slalu tgk ke bawah (shoes) bile main music. haha! true story :D

Unknown said...
