Any J-Metal Bands out there?

[atrophiedXlungs]

I was wondering if there were any good Japanese metal bands. No, I'm not talking about Loudness, I'm talking about Rapcore, Nu-Metal, stuff like Slipknot or Killswitch Engage.?

If those are bands you like, i'd like to point out the fact that you lose at metal.

But regardless, you may or may not like Hellchild.

I've noticed that there are a total ass-load of Japanese Black Metal bands... each and everyone of of them look EXACTLY like Cradle of Filth which looks EXACTLY like Dimmu Borgir. I don't listen to Black Metal, but I think it's a requirment to dress in black armor and paint yourself white XD.

Oh, and for any of you guys that haven't heard Naiad, they're really good, even if they speak english. They sound something like Lamb of God meets Killswitch Engage. Both, awesome bands.

X-Japan is the best Jmetal band I've heard, but they're like Shitknot.

Thats not metal, it's typical Visu Hard Rock.

BATHTUB SHITTER

\m/^_^

good recommendation

Other good bands ?

Maybe Shadow (good melodic death metal, sounds pretty much like gothenburg in the mid 90s)
Or Sigh (death metal by a very talented 3 man combo)

Sigh, death/black crossover with elements of prog and even thrash.

Sigh are the Gods of Japanese metal.

Well I finally listened to Bathtub Shitter and within 15 seconds of the song I realized that they are Deicide's Japanese cousin. I'm not much of a Deicide person, though. I'm still stuck with Naiad, but I'm not complaing XD.
