- The japanese with English snippets thrown in sounds funny
- I like their (incredibly Japanese) concept of presenting themselves as coffe maids playing hard rock/metal
- The way their songs are written, they would only have to slightly up the aggression and their sound would fit into contemporary Modern Metal/Metalcore crowd in my opinion.
- If only they would drop the Autotune. But they are Japanese, they need some acoustic plastic
That you posted a Japanese act reminds me of another aspect of the discussion with @FaithNoMore who was complaining about the clichéd artwork and image of some metal bands: There are dark/black metal bands in Asia who do not come from a Christian background. I find it really interesting to see what their take on the Genre and style is.
I first saw them on tour with Arch Enemy, incidentally.
The fool hath said in his heart, There is a God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good.
