Yoshiki

Classical
ClassicalHeavy metalRock

Yoshiki is a Classical and Heavy metal act. Their catalogue also touches Rock. Their sound grew out of Ludwig van Beethoven, Franz Schubert, Kiss, Led Zeppelin and Iron Maiden. Those roots explain a lot about how Yoshiki arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as Linked Horizon, X Japan, Luna Sea, NICO Touches the Walls and Queen Bee, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Luna Sea, DIR EN GREY and Kim Jong-hyun, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 26 connections around Yoshiki, reaching back through Ludwig van Beethoven and forward to Luna Sea. Follow any of those threads to keep travelling the influence between bands and genres on Starverb.
