GPKISM - Atheos

It's a guy.


GPKISM - Atheos

Much as I often find music to post, I was shuffling through my albums and came across this. I've been a fan of GPKISM's EPs and mini-albums but never did get around to the actual album, which seems more of a combination of all his previous works. But if you aren't familiar with past works, this is as good a spot as any to give a listen.

As said, that is indeed a guy, and this is a visual kei darkwave duo. However the weird thing is... This band isn't Japanese... or well, it is and isn't. The main individual, GPK, is from Australia and the songs are all in English. However he has a strong accent, which sounds Japanese to me. The second person in this duo however is Japanese and is actually the guitarist from the visual kei band Blood, which if you are by chance looking for some decent visual kei bands in the massive sea of shit the genre has become, Blood is pretty decent.

Anyway, whether the band is Japanese or Australian, this is some pretty nice trancy darkwave which fans of Schwarz Stein and Kaya's early works should love.

  1. Hahaha! I laughed at those three little words: "It's a guy" because the first thing I noticed was 'her' allure. He's still beautiful. If I ever need to lose MORE sleep, I'll be sure to return to this DL. Cheers!
