Welcome to V Reviews. My name is V. And in this inaugural first music video review we will be covering the band DEXCORE’s awesome "Savior" track.
For those of you who do not know who they are, here’s a little background information to get you started. They are a ヴィジュアル系 (Visual Kei), metalcore band who hail from 名古屋 (Nagoya), Japan. The band started in 2016 through ex. DEATHGAZE drummer 直樹 (Naoki)’s efforts. Since that time there have been many line up changes over the years including the departure of 直樹 (Naoki) himself. Still they have overcome every obstacle to come back swinging and brought us new music. Not many bands can say that. As of January 2023 they saw the return of their previous bassist TO-RU and the addition of MAKI (of UNDEAD CORPORATION) as their support drummer after another shake up in December 2022 with the leaving of 会 (Kai) (bass) and 伶司 (Reizi) (drums). So there is a big difference between the sound/feel of the video that I am about to cover and their previous one.

The only other band I've ever felt this about is "the Gazette"
