Many anime fans tend to end their knowledge of Japanese metal at Dir En Grey and the various VK bands that sell posters or are picked up to visit anime cons each year. That is only scratching the surface of Asian heavy music.Where is the REALLY heavy stuff? Is it all poorly produced and underground, or are we only seeing the two extremes of the metal spectrum? There are fantastic bands that may never get heard if someone doesn't show them to the rest of the world.
