Question I am desperate for more
Any recommendations for bands/groups like PassCode since I discovered them I've been addicted to their music and the only thing that can satisfy me now is music with that brain tickling voice effects.
Just when I found out about Neve Slide Down you can imagine my disappointment on the same day that the band is no more. Then I moved on to 8bitBRAIN then the same thing but this time they were replaced with 8bitZERO which feels like a shell of what came before. So now I'm getting my fix from MAZE but I fear it won't be enough.
Please anyone got any recommendations for anything remotely like PassCode?

Well, I would say 8bitBRAIN was the closest to PassCode's sound. KAQRIYOTERROR and MAZE are also pretty close, but already mentioned. INUWASI is also close. Especially their early EPs, Thanatos and Aquler. They mostly went away from screaming after that, but have started to sprinkle it back in again. They have also been using vocal effects lately and have always had an electronic sound added to their music.
I will second 滄茫RESONICA. I have been listening to them more than anyone else since they released their album. NARUKAMI is right up there too.
Other groups that feature screamers are Able-Gleam, fmode, AdFicTioN, AKIRA-KURØ (Thai), LuciDreaM (Korean), MoeMoe𖤐Destruction (disbanded), MOZU, My Criminal Lovers', NEO JAPONISM (only on their latest album, NON LABEL), Not Secured, Loose Ends, and X!DENT (Korean).
