Cute Metal? WTF??

[Grumpmeister]

I'd heard about these three from a friend a while ago when they opened for an Iron Maiden concert he went to, at the time I thought he was either pissed or having a laugh. I know Japanese culture can seem a little strange to the western world but cute metal is just......no. I made the mistake of giving in to curiosity and having a look on youtube.....................my ears are still bleeding. Somehow they've even been able to open for some of the biggest name bands in the genre like Iron Maiden and Metallica. 

I have to admit part of me would love to see the faces of the audience who've come in for a night of angry heavy rock with screaming bass and howling guitars and find themselves enduring three happy japanese teenagers before they can see the act they have paid for

If anyone here fancies themselves as a curious masochist.....
