Visual Kei For The Halloween Spirit

Halloween is in less than a week and we all have our favorite playlist for this time of the year! For Visual Kei fans, I thought it would be fun to highlight some Halloween worthy artists and songs that you can add to your night of creepin' around! This list is a mixture of styles that reflect the different themes of Halloween that we all love.

1) LM.C - Ghost Heart

More on the lighthearted but, spooky Halloween factor for people who just want to have fun and Trick-or-treat.

2) Versailles - Zombie

With a name like Zombie, I don’t think much of an explanation is needed.

3) Kiryu - Hyakkiyakou

Leave to the boys of Kiryu to indulge in creepy Japanese yokai aesthetic.

4) Pentagon - Welcome to Ghost Hotel

This song will make you instantly think of the Tower of Terror.

5) DIR EN GREY - Filth

When you want to highlight a Dir en Grey PV, but not the Obscure PV. I felt that Filth was the right choice for the creepy factor.

6) Kuroyuri to Kage - Yokusou

For an fans of Ju-on: The Grudge.

7) Dezert - Ikaiyou to Rousseau no Sakkaku

Who doesn’t like a good song about Cannibalism during Halloween?

8) Halloween Junky Orchestra - Halloween Party

While not truly a visual kei act, this group showcases artist like Hitsugi from Nightmare, Tatsurou from Mucc, and not the mention Hyde himself

9) Dadaroma - Happy Halloween

I think the title speaks for itself right here!

10) Grieva - Tokage

Who doesn’t love the creepy doctor aesthetic during Halloween?

I also have to give special recognition to Sadie’s cover of This is Halloween from The Nightmare Before Christmas!

What kind of Visual Kei music do you like to listen to during the Halloween Season?
