So many great Japanese metal bands, I also recommend: Maximum The Hormone, Paledusk, Jiluka, Merging Moon and if you don't mind clean vocals and pop elements mixed in...Babymetal is taking the world by storm right now (they've done tours in 5 continents) with a wide variety of metal styles and collaborations as well.

Never knew Flower Travelling Band were Japanese! You learn something new every day. I'll have to check out that album, I do like me a bit of the old proto-metal. Never heard of Church Of Misery but they sound fun. My own Japanese collection consists of 3 Loudness albums and one album by Vow Wow - Helter Skelter. The title track is a cover of the Beatles tune. They were quite popular for a while in the 80s. One band and album I can recommend is Significant Point. Into The Storm, heavy/speed metal not unlike early Loudness.

Nemophila 🔥❤️ New album coming( first one as a 4 piece band) coming in a month 👍👍

No Devin Townsend or Strapping Young Lad? FAIL.

HE DOES NOT MISS🔥🔥🔥

Loved most of the list . Enjoyed the Vid , thanks CAMCURSE

I know Canadians were awake to Damaged/Do Not Spit in the early 90s. An Australian band but the debut was very influential in the underground.

First of all, congrats on your first 2025 video. I will give some Japanese metal a listen one day because this scene is new for me. Which band do you recommend to begin with?

I don’t know many Japan bands unfortunately. I’m going to check out outrage though. Cheers

Out of those bands in that list; Loudness and X Japan were the ones I recognized. Awesome list of underrated Japanese bands, Jeremy.

Here's another 20 old and new classics that we haven't mentioned yet - 1 Savatage - Sirens 1983 2 Manowar - Hail To England 1984 3 Loudness - Thunder In The East 1985 4 Dio - Dream Evil 1987 5 Heathen - Breaking The Silence 1987 6 Destruction - Release From Agony 1987 7 Legion Of The Damned - Slaves Of The Shadow Realm 2019 8 Dream Theater - Distance Over Time 2019 9 Sodom - Genesis XIX - 2020 10 Dead Tree Seeds - Push The Button 2020 11 Bestial Invasion - Divine Comedy: Inferno 2021 12 Angelus Apatrida - Angelus Apatrida 2021 13 Kryptos - Force Of Danger 2021 14 Enforced - Kill Grid 2021 15 Reionized - Entry Descent Annihilate 2022 16 Vorbid - A Swan By The Edge Of Mandala 2022 17 Xentrix - Seven Words 2022 18 Saxon - Carpe Diem 2022 19 Kobold - Chaos Head 2023 20 Venus Obscured Until Observed - 2023

7:20, master of reality, piece of nostalgy, and an excellent review!

Another intriguing and varied list there Jeremy. Terminal Redux is one of my favourite albums of all time, got to see them live in Manchester a couple of years ago in a small club venue. They actually have 3 full albums with Outer Isolation the follow up to Black Future. 7th Son is one of my favourite Maiden albums, love The Clairvoyant in particular. It's probably an age thing but never got or liked Nu Metal. I knew a guy whose favourite band was Linkin Park but I never understood the appeal. in fairness though I feel the same about most metal bands that emerged in that era I'll have a look at my rankings lists I'm sure I can find another 20 classics so I'll post it in a bit!

It's starting at 4:06 here that I lose it every time

So did a CD Haul yesterday. Here's a list of what I got Lita Ford - Stiletto Lamb of God - Wrath Therion - Symphony Masses (Ho Drakon, Ho Megas) Haematemesis - Unpleasant Experiments Cattle Decapitation - Terrasite Necrot - The Labyrinth Fleshcrawl - Into the Catacombs of Flesh Grave - Into the Grave (incl Tremendous Pain 7" EP + Demos) Skeletal Remains - The Entombment of Chaos

So far, a great list of essential metal albums to have. Good to see Iron Maiden, Annihilator, Cannibal Corpse and Forbidden.

I have listened to nicks and heart forever. Fleetwood Mac I prob listen to most days. But both hold a special place in my heart cause they were the last two things I did with dad before he passed. Saw them both a week and half apart.

Also is Amy Lee rock cause if she is she is pure power

I don’t have a problem with this list although nicks is my all time fav and is 1 or 2 on most lists I’ve seen but I can’t argue Ann Wilson’s range

Not bad for a 9 year old. Take a fifties classic song by Screaming Jay Hawkins, arrange the music and then sing like a 40 year old jazz singer. This girl is a gift to us all. Welcome to Angelina's world.

The Possesed gatefold illustration is absolutely insanely good. The first real metal band to have a gatefold.

Destruction for sure. Very underrate thrash metal band all time. Can't wait for them to tour back in the USA. Can't wait for the new anthrax album, been a long time since the last album.

Noice I might get a CD Haul this coming weekend. How many I'll get is to be determined.

Great pick ups, Jeremy! I'm glad you got the latest Suicidal Angels, Holy Moses and High on Fire.

Suicidal Angels have no bad albums, I'd like to own them all too! Only discovered them myself last few years. Was gutted when they cancelled their UK tour, had tickets!

Really hoping the long awaited new Coroner album comes out this year. Love Coroner, hoping for UK dates!

I love that Suicidal Angels album. Their discography is hard to find and cost a lot unfortunately. Cheers and Merry Christmas brother.

Doro! This is a sick cover! BTW, doro sang the song "we are the metalheads," which became associated with Wacken

A quick addition : just found out Chemicide has a new album due to be released on 02/28/2025 , incredible trash band out of Costa Rica 🤘🏻

A year of thrash would be sick!! Death metal has been ruling the last two years on my opinion

Let's hope that the albums will bring good in 2025

Hopefully Sacrifice, Obscura, Dream Theater, The Halo Effect, and Hirax will bring the good in 2025.

Waiting Obscura... 😌

Also super excited for The Halo Effect!!! 🤘🥰🤘 edit: I'm in Canada as well, on the East Coast now, but grew up in Toronto/SE Ontario :)

It is a sad song about space travel and the time/space dilation.

Too funny him punking the girl at the end, acting like he's never played Thunderstruck. He made her evening!

9:48, when the scream met the electric guitar...

Any album by Carcass, King Diamond/Mercyful Fate, Judas Priest.

Awesome list man 🤘

another essential : Paradise Lost - Draconian Times

I miss Mayhemic, Vltimas and The Crown. Also that crypt sermon album was really great.

Quite good list except shit like Dream Theater and Mastadon.

Stellar picks Jeremy, the only albums I’m not familiar with are the Mastadon and Autopsy records. The Whiplash album is very underrated, they never bettered that. Venom I never got into back in the day but I’ve grown a fondness for them over the years! Here’s another 20 from me in order of release.. 1 Iron Maiden - Seventh Son Of A Seventh Son 1988 2 Atrophy - Socialized Hate 1988 3 Annihilator- Never, Neverland 1990 4 Morbid Saint - Spectrum Of Death 1990 5 Soundgarden -Badmotorfinger 1991 6 Carcass - Heartwork 1993 7 Fear Factory - Demanufacture 1995 8 Sodom - Code Red 1999 9 Vektor - Black Future 2009 10 Exodus - Exhibit B - The Human Condition 2010 11 Accept - Blood Of The Nations 2010 12 Kreator - Phantom Antichrist 2012 13 Suicidal Angels - Bloodbath 2012 14 Death Angel - The Dream Calls For Blood 2013 15 Paranorm - The Edge Of Existence 2014 16 Exumer - The Raging Tides 2016 17 Testament - Brotherhood Of The Snake 2016 18 Terrifier - Weapons Of Thrash Destruction 2017 19 Traitor - Knee-Deep In The Dead 2018 20 Voivod - The Wake 2018

Whoa!!! Venom! The influential band! Now you're rocking, buddy! I would give this band a listen!🤘🤘🤘

Another batch of awesome essential metal albums, Jeremy! Voivod, Death, Dream Theater, Annihilator, Motorhead, Whiplash, Nuclear Assault, etc.. All excellent stuff!

Good choices almost all got a song or two I can f*** with
