The TRAX - Knife

Korea isn’t really known for producing rock acts, but this band was among the more high-profile Korean rock artists (probably in part because they were originally produced by Yoshiki, an extremely famous member of the Japanese classic rock band X-Japan). You can definitely see the Japanese influence, because their appearance used to resemble that of Japanese visual kei artists and they recorded a sizable portion of their music in Japanese. I really like their earlier music, which is more rock-oriented, but by the time their first full album was released their style had switched to pop ballads typical of Korean popular music.
