X-Ray formed in Japan in 1992, a heavy metal band that became known for the song "Man in Black." The vocalist was named Ken. Their music had intricate guitar solos and soaring vocals, with lyrics that often dealt with dark, introspective themes like isolation and alienation.
They released other albums including "Nightmare" in 2003 and "Resurrection" in 2006. Songs like "Burnin' Like The Fire" and "Lier In Your Eyes" show their style.
They had a lineup with Ken on vocals, Sugizo on guitar, Taiji on bass, and Yoshiki on drums. Sugizo's guitar work became a recognizable part of their sound. The band didn't compromise much artistically, even when facing criticism.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
