GRIEVA (グリーヴァ) were a controversial visual-kei band who left their mark on the scene during the mid-2010's. Their entire concept revolved around nostalgia within the visual-kei scene and often repurposed themes, melodies, aesthetics, and artistic direction from well-established acts in the 90's, namely DIR EN GREY. While they did not hide what they were doing, the results were incredibly polarizing. Regardless of which side of the "they're stealing" or "this was when vkei was good" line fans of the scene fell, GRIEVA (グリーヴァ) played an essential role in making "homage-kei" a profitable endeavor.
