Hi everybody!! For goods J-Metal bands, there is Sigh -> best for me {Orchestral/Bizar Black}, Kaddenza {Orchestral/Heavy/Black}, Ritual Carnage {Thrash/Death} and Moi Dix Mois. ::

I don't know a lot of J-metal, but try 403. I discovered them in a pretty famous flash from 2ch. You can get a few of their songs here (just scroll all the way down, right click the "mp3" buttons, and then "save as"). I would recommend going with Southern Cross first, then perhaps Northern Lights, but they are all pretty good.

Long live Sex Mahineguns!!



They are my favorite j-metal band ever. They are too funny and their music is hard, talented and original. What more can I say :cool

[boykun]

Sex Machine Guns definitely. they're such awesome musicians and players technically, but they don't take it seriously! lol. i mean, they wrote a song about oranges..

and of course Loudness. the best metal band to come out of Japan

Maybe the lyrics are not serius but the music is Their PVs are all so funny. By the way, I have always wanted to know of or find some of their lyrics. You have mentioned the oranges ones. Maybe you can tell me where to find romanized or translated lyrics please :rolleyes

Thanks in advance.

I will search for Loudness, must be good :wink:

The hardest thing Japanese I still listen to is Gazette. but thats because they are hot, so I can still stand them. I really cant get into Jmetal/Jrock anymore.

But i still find gackt, members of LArc, Miyavi, etc etc hot. but I dont dig there music as much anymore.

Butcher ABC, Basket of Death, and Bathtub Shitter are the three that come to mind first.

toxic025 - Dir en grey haven't been visual kei for years now. Their last album that had any visual kei images, would be kisou. Now they just wear jeans and a t-shirt, not very visual.

[sailormari]

the only j-metal i can think of or come to mind right now is
loudness
they from the 80's and 90 mostly

wait they sing most their songs in english does that count as j-metal or usa-metal
but I like their song hurricane eyes

[TokioNiimura]

Nah, they're j-metal.

Oh!

I just thought of one of my favorite bands, AUSHVITZ.

[futsguck]

Hmmm....I haven't seen anyone mention Sigh yet....Sigh is a really good Japanese Black Metal band.

I second this recommendation. Also, check out Melt Banana. They're not metal but they're an interesting band. The only description I can think of that suits them would be "Wacky, proggy punk music with a singer who sounds like she's on a major sugar high."

[weew46]

Onmyoza,Feel So Bad,Inugami circus-dan good bands with female vocalist
other good are Speed Slaves,Sulfuric Acid,Galneyrus

I say same what i say anywhere its asked about J-metal bands:

Gunship 666

its best metal band from japan and they play Black/thrash metal. Gunship has a female guitarplayer(one of the best i have heared)
and gunship sounds alot like pantera.

Just checked them out, pretty cool, especially the fact they have a female guitar player. Not a lot of females playing that kind of stuff. And yeah, they really sound a lot like Pantera.

Nice Dimebag sig, by the way. It's such a shame what happened to him...

I heard some decent J-Metal bands like Moi Dix Mois, Malice Mizer, Dir en grey and Onmyouza, but when it comes to metal I still prefer the European Viking-, Power- and Battle Metal bands.

hmmmm...I think you've been listening to the wrong Japanese bands....

You might wanna check out Galneryus, they're a really cool powermetal band.

Kelly Simonz (I know, very strange artist name, but he is japanese) is a great guitarist, very similar to Yngwie Malmsteen.
