I heard of this band a while back when a friend of mine lent me a copy of Vanguard -Of the Muses-, and I haven't looked back since. A truly excellent visual kei band, but the one unique thing that makes exist†trace stand out from the rest of the pack is that

Spoiler:

Unheard of in the predominantly male visual kei scene, but they are a refreshing change from all the other bands which frankly speaking sound the same to me personally... plus their sound is pretty unique and has a sonically ambivalent and melodic structure not unlike Swedish death metal bands like Opeth, Meshuggah and Katatonia which sets them apart from other visual kei bands that I've heard thus far. I recommend listening to Judea and Vanguard, and maybe Venom and Water as well

Jyou's voice is amazing .hora. don't even get me started on miko neko
omi = HOTNESS, naoto and Mally are just incredible

Spoiler:

I know, Miko is cute like a cat, Miko-nyan! .clap. I love Jyou's voice too, she has this really rich and profoundly moving vocal technique that she employs in almost every song thus far, she's incredible! And Omi x Miko are one hell of a duo

They are really awesome and unique band.
By the way, at 18th of June 2011 they will perform in Shibuya Boxx, where they will officially get the status of Majors. Congratulations.

They're also the guests on Sakura-con 2011, as far as I know.

Seems like they're getting more popular now.^ ^ I think they deserve it, I just hope that their music will remain as awesome as always.

Really awesome, indeed!

They posted a new video on YouTube. This would be from their upcoming release, which will be their first full album. The bassist plays a standing bass in this video.

Love them, one of the first Japanese artists I've listened to and they remain my favourite female act (tied with SCANDAL now :D). miko is one of the greatest composers from Japan, so underrated (and beautiful  .love.).
I love how varied they albums are (compare some of their early stuff with WORLD MAKER lol) yet they feel consistent. I loved miko's vocals on WM it brought that fresh feeling to their music. VIRGIN is amazing but it has 3 flops imo so TWIN GATE is a classic and the most solid for me.
SORA is my favourite song of all time.

They posted a new MV during the time this thread was dead:


The new EP sounds like a mix of WM and their 2010-2012 era, it kicks ass but I think it's more accessible for non-fans.
