The main theme of "Headbang Vol.17" is "Japanese Metal That the World Envies"!
The main color page is a 21-page full-color report on BABYMETAL's homecoming concert "Baptismal Rites," which was held at Hiroshima Green Arena on December 2nd and 3rd, 2017 and is already being touted as a "legendary live performance" that BABYMETAL fans around the world are envious of!
Headbang, who has been watching BABYMETAL for five years, will delve deeply into this legendary live performance, which can be confidently described as ``BABYMETAL's best performance in history.''
Also, on the monochrome pages, there is a review of 100 "Japan's Metal Albums That the World Envies/We Can Be Proud of" and a section titled "Interviews with the Most Important People in Japan's Metal" with long interviews with six people, including Kenji Ohtsuki of Kinniku Shojotai/Tokusatsu and SYU of GALNERYUS!
Headbang makes full use of its 95 pages to introduce a wealth of "Japanese metal that the world envies."
