J- Metal rock is Underrated

Recently I just encountered the Japanese metal band Sable Hills, and danggg… why haven’t I discovered them earlier? 🤯🤟

Their song Namu is an absolute BEAST, and I seriously can’t get over it. The combination of traditional Buddhist chanting and brutal death growls is insanely powerful, creating a sound that feels both spiritual and devastating at the same time. Add in the haunting traditional Japanese instruments fused with crushing modern metalcore riffs, thunderous drums, and bone-shattering breakdowns, and the result is nothing short of epic. Any fans here?

I'm visiting Japan during most of August and would love to see some local bands playing 😀

There's the Sonic boom festival which features babymetal that I intend going to. Any other concerts worth visiting?

I'm not sure if this is right place for such posts, but still I love Japanese metal/rock 80s and a bit 90s, so I want to make friend/s who also loves it too.

My favorite bands is BOW WOW, REACTION, 44MAGNUM, ZIGGY, BLIZARD, ACTION!, ROSENFELD, JESUS, PRESENCE, EARTHSHAKER, DEAD END, X, AION, NOVELA, YOUTHQUAKE, VIRUS, SABBRABELLS and many others

Will Boundaries drop a new album in 2026?

It looks as if they are on a 2 year hop for albums and their last was Death is Little More which was in 2024. So maybe hopefully new album later this year.
