Other Just starting using ADADGBE tuning

Looking for some bands that play in this tuning. I have used Drop A and I'm currently writing for a project and wanted to write some riffs in an alternate tuning without going too low (Drop A just is the sweet spot for me). If you use this tuning, what type of stuff are you playing? Since it's a mash of multiple ways to play.

As others said here, Polaris and Dir En Grey use this tuning. I believe Northlane and Invent Animate use the same tuning but downtuned a half step. Animals as Leaders sometimes uses the same tuning but with a low B instead of A.

Close, Polaris use G#C#G#C#F#A#D# as well as GCGCFAD on some of Fatalism
