THE SOUND BEE HD is a visual kei band signed to the indie label Starwave Records. Their music is described as a fusion of electro and heavy rock with a touch of Japanese aesthetics, and their albums are usually based on themes such as "poison," "flower" or "captivation."

The members wear costumes similar to traditional Japanese clothes, but with extravagant and modern elements. In their earlier years, the outfits had one dominant colour which varied with every release. Recently, the band has taken on a more gothic direction, with zombie-inspired costumes representing themes like decadence and decay.
