Unfortunately, there are no new updates on bands that have already been introduced on the blog, so I have 6 new introductions 'only'.
First one is band "LuCiD" from Los Angeles, USA.
I'd seriously love to tell you when they had their debut etc., but in all honesty, I couldn't find anything on the web except for their Official Facebook page. And since they created their official facebook back in 2011, I assume they started activities last year. No promise though, their fans probably know better, and they already have a lot! 918 likes on Facebook within some months isn't bad at all.
The band also uploaded some song samples. Check them out here.
Members are:
Vocalist Ryu - His Facebook, Ameba, Twitter
Guitarist Yuto - His Facebook
Support Guitarist Kouki
Bassist Ku - His Facebook
Drummer Rui - His Facebook

DNR (Dreams not Reality) is their name, and they formed in 2005.
By searching for a biography, I found a pretty good one with many details on their worldwide fanclub facebook page:
The project called DNR starts in 2005, when Kira, bassist, since ever artistically influenced by the Jrock / Visual Kei Japanese scene, decide to create a band that would be the fusion between two opposite sounds: the european groove and the asiatic melodic lines.An encounter between Orient and Occident, a new genre, called "Eurovisual", that transport us in an avant garde universe where electronics and melody meet powerfull riffs made in USA.Along with Ash (drums) and Sieg (guitar), the DNR project come to life and even if the line up still incomplete, the trio starts to write songs like Follow me, Breakoutnlive, that will become live standards. The search for a voice end in 2007 when Mantis join the band. The romantic tone of his voice seems to be perfectly adapted to the tracks.The same year the band decide to experiment the add of a keyboardist, DeLord, experience that ended at the beginning of 2010.The quintet records some titles among them their first single, Visual Evolution, and the Ep Visual Reload.During 2009, the original trio and the singer, due to artistic differences decide to split up to proceed their career in two different directions.The same year the trio, changing its name in Dreams Not Reality (DNR) finally find its definitive voice with Axia, which vocal qualities open new ways to the band's work. His dynamic and aggressive tone, legacy of his past cooperations with hard rock cover bands, his scenic charisma due to his experience of the foreign scenes, contribute to the singularity of DNR, a band unique in its genre, inspiring curiosity in Italy and the rest of the world.Curiosity who will lead them to play live in their own country and in many East European territories, filling venues and driving the public crazy.In 2009 also come an unexpected contribution, "bizarre" could we say. Luminor, Cinema Bizarre ex-keyboardist, interessed in their project record some track with them as special guest and perform with the band in a serie of live shows in Italy and Europe .Today, DNR propose itself to the world all reborn, strong of its passed artistic experiences and ready to conquer the public with the first single of the new line up, "Beyond this world" and its video clip.In 2011, after recording their first single / video "Beyond This World", the quartet decide to come back to 5 elements, definitely completing the line-up with the coming of the "quintessence", directly from Tokyo, Japan; actor, model singer and keyboarder, the amazing Sebastiano Serafini aka Seba on keys and vocals.Let you carry by their poetry and their universe.Welcome to EUROVISUAL.Ok, this one is quite long, but you can be sure that you know a lot about them now!
Check out their songs on Facebook and Youtube!
And that's the band's OHP.
