The first time that the same artist has appeared on the cover and front pages of two consecutive issues of "Headbang"!
I can only think of BABYMETAL who can do that!
The first issue of Headbang in 2021, Vol. 29, will feature the same artist on the cover for two consecutive issues for the first time in Headbang history!
I can only imagine this artist doing that!
BABYMETAL, the "metal band that Japan can be proud of on a global scale," proudly delivered their metal sound to living rooms across the nation on December 31st at the "Kohaku Uta Gassen"!
This is a thorough report of the first half of the raging 10-day Nippon Budokan concert "10 BABYMETAL BUDOKAN" that began in January, with about 15,000 characters and plenty of color pages! We'll dissect the live performance that blew fans away with this dome-level metal entertainment show, which turned the entire Budokan arena into a stage!
We will also be featuring a special on the film "Lords of Chaos," which recreates the shocking early days of the legendary black metal band MAYHEM, which will finally be released in Japan on March 26th!
Starting with an exclusive interview with the director, the film will unravel the world of early black metal, a world overrun by demons, in an easy-to-understand manner even for beginners.
In addition, this issue will be full of exciting news about metal from various angles, including a feature on the world's top extreme metal label "Relapse Records," which is celebrating its 30th anniversary!
