It sounds really cool. High (good) energy. šŸ‘ Is it inspired by epic anime soundtracks?

No, this ā€œgenreā€ (is more so a movement which consist of expressing yourself with your clothes, thatā€™s why thereā€™s not a ā€œgenreā€ per say, there are jazz visual Kei bands and there are deathcore vkei bands), has existed since the early 80s, actually some iconic anime opening and endings are visual Kei songs, like ā€œthe worldā€ by ā€œnightmareā€

It's not. You can ask other musicians or other experts
