They have also been described as gamewave and nintendocore. Their songs typically sampled video game, or video game inspired, sounds and while being based in rock, are heavily electronic as well. They have a total of 22 official releases, albums and singles. They maintained an indie career throughout their years, and were never a hot selling band among the visual kei scene, mainly due to their uncompromising approach to their sound.
History
Metronome's claim to fame is that they travelled from the future—The year 2005, to be exact. Because they were getting bad record sales in 2005, they decided to travel back in time to 1998, thus boosting sales via their "futuristic" sound and look. In a 2007 interview, Talbo-1 Fukusuke mentioned how they stopped with saying they were from the year 2005 as said year neared. The band apparently had thought they wouldn't still be around by the time 2005 rolled around. They split in 2009 for unknown reasons. Later in 2016 the bandgot back together after being asked if during band members solo projects if they would perform covers of Metronome song which they responded that if they were to perform Metronome songs they were going todo it right. This led to their first single since their break up being released. The next year they released a new full-length album.
