this would be great

Honestly could work pretty well, i think. the band could still focus on the visual aspect w/ costumes, pvs and just by having some visual element during lives, like backdrops or projections or whatever. Plenty of storytelling opportunities there. I'd say they could probably even still pull off the different 'character types' trope stuff that's typical in vk.

Main thing is that I dunno if there'd be enough of an overlap between 'type of person who'd play in a VK band' and 'type of person who'd play post-rock/math rock/whatever,' plus the issue of whether the scene itself would be open to such an oddity.. People did seem to react positively to those instrumental tracks Plastic Tree and Dir en grey did, but those were kind of exceptional cases within the scope of their larger discographies

I love the idea, but you'd have to have some pretty great instrumentalists for them to last. Sizna would just have to be in it.
