how about Shadow? haven't heard them, but they are Swedish metal styled death metal on the Century Media label and from Japan, also Female fronted.

 

[junnie from the east]

yes i saw them opening for Dimmu Borgir. they sounded good, but the stage appearance was weak (am i making sense?)
maybe after spme stage experience, they will get much better!

I agreed... I thought the more the band tried to communicate with the audience, the better the whole stage performance has got... In point of this Edge of Spirit were the better live performers than them when they played with Arch Enemy.

Unfortunately I don't know so many Japanese metal bands but now I'm interested in the doom metal band called Ningen-Isu. Does anyone recommend me which CD is the best?

 

[junnie from the east]

oh yeah i saw Edge of Spirit a couple of years ago, right after their debut... i liked them better.. still i think Defiled is the best japanese act, i mean stage performance.

hey what's up warcorpse!!! it's nice to see you here and you know a lot of japanese bands... even Necronomicon??? i'm surprised!!!
i thought they were still kinda local band... how did you know their name/music?

Hello Junnie, I learned about some of those bands from a guy in Japan who I traded CDs with. I also read a lot of metal sites and metal magazines.
