How do you know that they're not just another group of Japanese Visual Kei pretty boys?

Have a look at some "Malice Mizer" and "Versailles" videos if you don't believe me.

Well I have looked and indeed you make a case for it but Lovebites are too soberly dressed compared to visual kei bands, which hark back to UK 70s glam, 80s New Romantic and hair metal looks. Lovebites aren't mentioned anywhere as being visual kei so I can rest easy.😁

A bit power metal for my tastes, I prefer these ladies

 

Not come across these ladies before. As I've said metal isn't really my bag but I can make an exception for these Japanese, all-girl metal bands as they're a refreshing change from the usual metal/hard rock fare. And they're all great players.

A. Google. Plus AFAIK visual kei bands don't tend tag themselves as 'all-female', they tend to not mention gender, or they give a nod to their kabuki theater influences.

B. Versailles are great! Discovered them 2 or 3 years ago. Not a massive fan of Kamijo's vox, but the playing is superb.  The fact that Hizaki wears a dress really doesn't affect my appreciation of the music.

Not heard of Malice Mizer, I'll check it out later. 🙂

Wow! They are women!

They are in a band but they are women!

They are playing their own instruments but they are women!

They are playing metal but they are women!

They are doing what men do but they are women!

Whatever next? Maybe we'll have women driving buses, and possibly even women being politicians!

Yeah but... it is sadly unusual. I should know.

What?  Are you quite mad sir?  If we start down this path they'll be out of the kitchen and wearing shoes and trousers and things!  It's a short hop from there to letting them in pubs and giving 'em the vote.  ;)

But no less formulaic than many thousands of metal bands formed over the last couple of decades

Agreed. That's why I don't like the great majority of metal bands. The fact that thousands of other people do something doesn't make it any less trashy, even if it is well executed.
