The new album "Kuraku" will be released by Ningen Isu, and the cover and front page will feature a 60,000-word interview and new photo spreads... a huge feature with over 70 pages!

The main feature of Vol. 31, which is being sent out with the momentum of Vol. 30, which has been reprinted, is... Ningen Isu, a hard rock band that Headbang has been pushing hard since its launch, along with BABYMETAL and X JAPAN, and which Japan is not only proud of, but is the envy of the world!
This is their second cover appearance since Vol.23! The music video from their previous work "Shin Seinen" has been going viral on YouTube, especially overseas, and they have also experienced their long-awaited European tour. After the COVID-19 pandemic, their 22nd original album "Kuraku" will be released on August 4th. In addition to interviews with all members of about 20,000 characters, we will also conduct individual interviews with each member of over 10,000 characters, and thoroughly dig into this work in a total of 50,000 characters of interviews!
In addition, photos taken in a Western-style building in Saitama Prefecture that still retains the flavor of Showa-era modernism are scattered throughout the book, starting with the cover!
This is a special feature that Ningen Isu fans should not miss out on!

And, CARCASS, the "Kings of Brutalism from Liverpool" that we have been pushing hard since the first issue of Headbang, will be releasing their first album in about eight years, so Japan's leading CARCASS crazy guy Okite Porsche (Roman Porsche.) conducted the fastest interview in Japan... no, the fastest in the world, with leader Jeff Walker! Vol.31 is going to be a tough, tough, and dense volume as ever!
