For those unfamiliar with Merry—also often written as MERRY—they are a five-member visual-kei band. They came together in 2001, each member coming from other bands like Shiver, After effect, and ACiD. Like many visual-key bands Merry most often performs hard rock with a metal influence. However, they do not focus exclusively on this style and have produced forays into punk, ballads, and even techno. Their music should sound familiar to fans of Luna Sea, X Japan, and Kuroyume, all of whom Merry has cited as sources of inspiration. Vocalist Gara’s lyrics take many cues from Kyo of Dir en grey. Gara formerly traveled with Dir en grey on their concert tours and has talked about his ’apprenticeship’ with Kyo. Those of you who like Kyo’s lyricism will find parallels in Gara’s writing. Overall Merry is a talented and entertaining band in a genre rife with boring, stale, and predictable molds. Personally I think Merry stands out from that crowd and is a band who deserves time from any visual-kei fans.
