The Black Dahlia Murder / Unearth
Japan is being invaded by two of the biggest American metal bands at the end of May. The Black Dahlia Murder and Unearth will being a total of three shows in Japan at Club Quatttro in Osaka (Shinsaibashi), Tokyo (Shibuya) and Nagoya. Tickets are ¥6,800 advance and ¥7,300 at the door. Tickets for all shows are still available so get out and bang your head.
The opening act is a Japanese band called Each of the Days from Nagoya. I have more to write about Each of The Days, but I’ll save that for the next post.

As I posted a long time ago, west coast math rockers are making their way to Japan this fall. I was off by a month, but I was still close enough, right? They are touring with LITE most of the way and also doing one show with Toe in Nagoya. If I were a betting bear, I’d put my money on that show being the most exciting one of their entire tour. Go check it out. They recently released a double cd in Japan containing their first two LPs that went unreleased until now in Japan.

This year Mono, Pelican, World’s End Girlfriend and LITE are playing at RaidWorld.
May 16 5:00P LIQUIDROOM Shibuya ￥4,5000
True story: I was supposed to go to RaidWorld last year until I got bedridden with food poisoning. Salmonella, to be exact. Let that be a lesson to you all to not eat raw chicken at an izakaya, no matter how good your Japanese friends tell you it is.
California’s sludge metal gods, Black Cobra, are heading to Japan in the fall. I’m not sure with whom they will be playing with besides Coffins on the 27th, but no doubt, they will be touring with some heavy bands.
Also, the times on their MySpace may be incorrect. 8pm is kind of a late start, so I would shoot for around 6pm or 6:30.

Bay Area thrashers, Voetsek, are playing two more shows before they head back to the States. They are playing one tonight and another tomorrow; although, they have played two shows in Kochi and Osaka already… sorry about missing that. Any way, make sure you check these shows out as they are playing with some pretty awesome Japanese bands like Mind of Asian, FOLKEIIS and Fuck On The Beach.
Sorry about the short notice!

As posted earlier, Sunn O)) is playing at the Leave Them All Behind event in Tokyo, but they are also playing a few more shows before flying off to Oslo. As to be expected, tickets are pretty expensive, but be sure to check them out.
