So are they not VK now?

For some reason, yes. Set it back to "visual".

I'm thinking, as the way they were in some SHOXX magazines, isn't it suffisant to say that's they were vk ?

We still need more opinions

Well, me personally, I definitely think they were a VK band, albeit one that came out when lines between glam and VK were sorta becoming blurred. A lot of people judge whether a band is VK based on their associations with other bands that were very much, indisputably visual, and VDC had that by playing with guys like Eins:Vier amd Kuroyume, and also with members having ties to groups like Plastic, The Space Cowboys and (the original) Vivid. As far as them being in VK magazines, that is true. I've got a tooonnnnnn of VK magazines, and I distinctly remember them being in some. Below is a link of a lot of the magazines they've been in (just have to do the CTRL+F option), which include very regular pairings with guys like Shazna, Siam Shade, Malice Mizer, Color, Buck-Tick, Sleep My Dear, Deshabillz, hide, Kneuklid Romance and By-Sexual, as well as a good amount of entries in Vicious as well, a historically VK-centered magazine.

Once again though, this is just my opinion after years of being familiar and fond of these guys, and doing a good amount of research into their history. Whether Kenichi thinks they were VK or not probably holds more weight, but Idunno... it just seems verrrrrry obvious that they were, by their own history, style and associations/ties.
