Information

exist†trace is an indie visual kei band. Their visuals can be described as typical gothic visual kei and, even though some of the members go for a more feminine look, their image remains dark. It matches their music well, which is gloomy and heavy with lots of screaming and occasional growling side by side with melodic singing.
