LEETSPEAK MONSTERS: The band behind HypMic's Jyushi song: Gekkoin -Moonlight Shadow-!
Leetspeak Monsters is the band in charge of Jyushi Aimono’s song from Bad Ass Temple! I decided to make this post to introduce the band to HypMic fans bc I believe some of you guys would also love it!
I also started listening the band not too long ago, but I fell in love with them! So I went to look for info about them but the best source I could find in a language I could understand was the Spanish Visual Kei Wiki. So I decided to translate some info about them to English for those who can’t read Spanish, and also bring some links for people to get to know their work. Here we go!
LEETSPEAK MONSTERS is a j-rock/rap-rock band formed by "4 monsters of the Grave Town Cemetery". Formed in 2009, they were known as Leetspeak Monster, and in 2017 they signed a contract with GLK MUSIC and changed their name to Leetspeak Monsters.
The band's concept is inspired by the fantastic and the supernatural, in ghost stories, in the occult, in comic horror*, in soundtracks of movies and the genre of musical theatre, and mixed with genres like Rock, Gothic, Metal and Rap.
*I don’t know if this translation of “horror cómico“ is correct, hmu if you know a better one!
They have released a bunch of maxi-singles and mini-albums, as well as some full albums. You can listen to their music on Spotify!
They also have many music videos you can watch on Youtube:
