The Nagoya band EAT YOU ALIVE started out as MaveRick, a band with unique, heavy music somewhat reminiscent of old-school visual rock with metal influence. Their image was dark and, at times, rather eccentric.
Since the name change, however, both the music and the image of the band have evolved away from conventional visual kei. Their new sound and appearance, resembling western nu metal bands such as Limp Bizkit with the addition of rap vocals, make EAT YOU ALIVE a distinctive band in the visual kei scene.
