Gamma Nerd posted:The focus on musicianship, heavy use of keys and orchestration, and prog rock pomp/excess have been a constant in Japanese metal since. Are you not perhaps understating the importance of the Japanese thrash scene here? many of those bands weren't very proggy at all. And at least some Japanese thrash is clearly also connected to their punk scene, which is a whole different thing.

The only thing I know of, that's related is I heard Marty Friedman bailed out of the US for Japan, and supposedly continues to shred. Sabbat(not to be confused with the British thrash band also called Sabbat) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rs6wHSF72VY Casbah(listen to this if u only listen to one of these, there's a compilation of all their demos that rules) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wVUPqqlDy6Q https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4t2g1Rq-ko4 Abigail https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W94IhuR2DuY Barbatos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBwRVipEMf4 Jurassic Jade https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18v5ov47ob0 Deathblow https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kneGRG6VMHU there were a couple of thrash/speed bands in the 80s that used nazi imagery for shock value, here's one called Rommel https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ix8hcTfiEDg here's a cool all girl band that only released demos, Xenolith Oger https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZrT8Tg75FtM

Omglosser posted:Are all-female or female-lead metal bands starting to become big in Japan or have they been that way for a while? I mean before Babymetal I wasn't really paying attention but now I'm seeing stuff for bands like Band-Maid, Aldious, and...well I know there was at least one more. Just curious if it's because of the success of Babymetal, or if Babymetal was a result of this already-present trend, or if they're mutually exclusive. Babymetal is just some J pop idols thrown into a metal band as a stupid gimmick, they have nothing to do with the metal scene. I wouldn't be surprised if there are copycat bands popping up since people seem to like them for some reason. There are of course a number of Japanese metal bands with women in them or made up entirely of women(e.g Boris, Gallhammer, Xenolith Oger, Sigh to name some obvious and not so obvious examples), but that's the case in most metal scenes.

That's funny but possibly not for the reasons you think
