Editor's note

Nightmare's dark visual kei sound

A Japanese visual kei band known for tracks like 'the WORLD' and 'Alumina'.

If you're new to Nightmare, start with 'the WORLD' or 'Alumina'. Those two tracks really capture what they were doing in those early 2000s visual kei years.

Nightmare's music has that specific visual kei blend of theatrical rock and dark imagery that defined a certain era of Japanese music. Songs like 'the WORLD' and 'Alumina' became staples for fans of the scene. Their stage shows and videos sometimes drew criticism for their darker themes, which just made them stand out more.

They formed in 2000 with vocalist Yomi and released their debut album 'Naitomea' that same year. In 2009, Yomi left and guitarist Hitsugi took over on vocals, a shift that changed their sound but kept them going.
