Japanese Metal

thought I saw this thread up in the last few months, guess that was something else that was similar or something. You can delete my post if it's that big a deal to bring back an old thread, I was just looking for japanese metal and felt like getting in on the discussion.
 
Nope, don't worry about it! Didn't mean to make it sound like it was bad, just warning people that it is fairly old so responding to those old posts probably won't get much of a discussion going.
 
Blues Creation (EARLY 70s hard rock, kick ass band)
Bow Wow (old school)
Sex Machineguns (heavy and fast)
Genocide (kickass)
Loudness (Somewhat glam)
X Japan (Glam, early stuff is thrashy and fast)
Kuroyume (weird)
Gism (Weird; fun tidbit: live shows the singer throws bricks and people, and has even murdered audience members [connections to the mob] hahahaha)
Concerto Moon (yngwie style)
Sigh (experimental)
Sabbat (thrash/black)
Hellhound (heavy)
 
I always thought HURUSOMA was the best black metal band from Japan.

.dot is pretty damn good for the slow 'n low.

That's just this guy.
