[Hades]

I dislike Onmyouza...

Don't hate me ^^

 

[Rocketdive]

I hate you

hahaha

btw... Onmyouza plays "Beyond the realms of death" in the Judas Priest tribute this is their second appearance in a tribute album, the first one was with The Trooper in the tribute to Iron Maiden

>Hades san
Waaaa!I hate you~~~~~
no,I'm just joking

could you tell me why you dislike Onmyouza?
because I'm going to open Onmyouza fan site with my friend.
I know there're people who dislike Onmyouza(one of them is my boyfriend...)
and I want to know why.
my boy friend says,"they look dismal and their songs are terrifying"

 

[Mori]

Well, as for me and Hades, we saw one video clip of Onmyouza at a party.
No idea which song it was, but it wasn't really what I would consider a good song. ^^;;

 

[gundamv3]

I'm surprised nobody has mentioned Animetal, I dont think they're that popular but still awesome, they do metal covers of anime/sentai themes

 

[aarsie666]

Don't forget SABBAT

I really think that also SABBAT should be mentioned in here.
I've seen them only once, last year on Wacken Open Air (Germany), and I was really impressed of their old black metal style, I really liked and banged my head off. Unfortunately it's hard to find their albums here in Belgium. Does anybody know if SABBAT is still producing new songs ?

 

[masaki]

yes good choices -- good list
my favorites are LOUDNESS & E-Z-O
dead end - anthem -- vow wow.
plus alot of others listed to are good
some i havn,t heard of before ill chek them out

 

[luzie]

hehe,I went to concerto moon live concert.
they're cool!

 

[Rocketdive]

yeah! new singer is more aggresive than Ozaki...

 

[Mori]

Can he also SING BETTER?

 

[luzie]

I don't know about past singer,
I can't compare them,
but new singer, Takashi Inoue was very emotional!!!

Whoa, there are so many.
I suppose X-Japan is the most well-known metalband from Japan, even though they're disbanded.
You could also check The Sex Machine Guns, who recently announced to disband.

Furthermore, you could also check out this website of [/B]Heavy Metal Forces. It contains a lot of information about Japanese metal bands.

The Sex Machine Guns? Sounds like a ripoff of Sex Pistols! Do they play the same style of music?

 

[Rocketdive]

Inoue has a more deep voice than Ozaki, I like both but IMO Inoue has more feeling

and no, Sex Machineguns play heavy metal, and Sex Pistols played punk

 

[Twisted]

The name Sex Machineguns is of course inspired by the Sex Pistols, and perhaps some of the bandmembers might have been fans of them, but other then that, the comparison ends.

 

[luzie]

>Sex Machineguns
I'd heard...
they want to play more aggressive than Sex Pistols,
Machineguns are more aggressive than Pistols.
so they named their band Sex Machineguns...

 

[eimik]

I found Sabbat to be booooring.

Go listen to "F*uck On The Beach" they totally rip sh*t up

This should solve your problem.

 

[Rocketdive]

I don't like **** on the beach

[Onmyoji]

Onmyo-za lyrics!

Hi - I just got here. I like Onmyo-za a lot, and I also JUST found out about Inugami Circus Dan (which I like already). But the reason I am posting here, is because I am also interested in Onmyo-za lyrics (romaji OR kanji/kana), especially for their song called Onmyoji. If anyone could help me, thanks a lot!

- Yoshiaki Abe
