something in tune with the other thread on euro metal bands...i like to plug the very talented and incredible japanese metal bands i like(and yes most of it is sung in japanese in case your wondering, but hey i can speak it )
X-japan:
one of the greats-classical styles combined with metal, much like euro powermetal. favorite album-jealousy
seikimaII(apocalypse pt2):
how do i explane these guys.....
they play everything from polka's to speed metal. they are a sub genre in japan called 'image bands' each member has something like 50 different outfits. and each wears kabuki theatre makeup of traditional japanese demons. they do have a couple songs in english (such as 'made in japan' and 'the place below the stairway to hell'), all in all truly talented musicians, and great showmen.
favorite album-frightful resturaunt
sex machineguns:
one of the realatively new japanese metal groups. hard and heavy all the way. favorite album-barbe q michael
show-ya:
an older all female group on par with classic judas priest. favorite album-outer limits
hide with spread beaver(really the name):
former X-japan gutarist hide(heeday) started his own band. plays more of an industrial style. favorite album-ja zoo
the brilliant green:
more melodic rock, but i like them. favorite album-the first self titled release.
and i have some others but they tend to be more pop/rock or techno/rock
so is anybody else here into japanese groups?
