Roughly translated to “of the cross”, DELACROIX is a loud kei band formed in 2009, with members: mitsuki (vocals), saya (guitar), kikyo (guitar), rei (bass), tomo (drums).
This band was recently featured on Babel Rock Radio’s VK IN YO FACE show, as the “Show Starting Sampler”. Initially, I heard this band without taking a look at their visuals and they made a pretty damn good impression.
The bass and guitar work surpass the run-of-the-mill VK bands that seem to be poorly generated by the dozens. Although not as impressive, the vocals do have a subtle old school VK touch to them and some semblance to NEGA’s vocals, Jin. With some more work, this band can reach A grade in no time.
Though not mind-blowing, DELACROIX is a breath of relief from the stereotypical band with subpar musicianship and high-pitched monotonous singers. Looking forward to more releases from this band & hope they don’t disappoint!!
