Best Asian Metal Bands
Artcell is a Bangladeshi progressive metal band formed in October 1999. According to The Daily Star, a leading English national daily, Artcell is "one of the leading bands of the country". They are the face of Bangladeshi rock music. I feel proud that this band was born in our beloved homeland! Love and respect for them.
With only two solo albums and a few mixed albums, Artcell has won our heart. They are the best of the best.
Every single song is a masterpiece. They are hugely talented.
Babymetal is a Japanese metal idol band. Their line-up consists of Suzuka Nakamoto as "Su-metal", Yui Mizuno as "Yuimetal", and Moa Kikuchi as "Moametal". They are a breath of fresh air to the genre. They offer a diverse range of songs from different sub-genres of metal. People say they are a gimmick, but why would this gimmick last as long as it has today (seven years) and still be going strong, even being asked by other bands to perform for them as openers?
At the end of it all, they (Kami-Band, I think) have an excellent band backing the girls up. The girls are great at singing and bring life to their performance through their choreography and presence.
It's a gimmick, that's why they have become popular. They toured with Lady Gaga as an opening act, which doesn't speak metal. On the other hand, the band behind the girls is very good, and the girls can sing or growl. But first and foremost, the girls are cute. Babymetal is just a successful market product.
Abominable Putridity is a Russian slam death metal band formed originally from Moscow, formed in 2003.

Boris is a Japanese experimental band formed in 1992 in Tokyo and composed of drummer Atsuo Mizuno, guitarist/bassist Takeshi Ohtani and guitarist/keyboardist Wata, with all three members participating in vocal performance.
Mezarkabul (formerly known as Pentagram) is a Turkish metal band formed by Hakan Utangaç and Cenk Ünnü. First two albums, "Pentagram" and "Trail Blazer," are raw-thrashy, and later albums are more influenced by Turkish folk and heavy or power metal. Though "Anatolia" and "Bir" are also great albums, personally, I like "Unspoken" more. Check out "Lions in the Cage," "In Esir like an Eagle," "Unspoken," "For Those Who Died Alone."
One of the very few great metal bands to come out of Turkey. They are often confused with Pentagram due to their original name.
Katalepsy is a Russian slam death metal band from Moscow. They have released two split albums, one EP, two full length albums, and one demo. Katalepsy has established themselves as one of the most prominent acts in the Russian metal scene, and a popular band in the extreme metal underground.
Aurthohin is a Bangladeshi hard rock and metal band formed in 1998 by bassist, singer and songwriter Sumon. He is the only founding member still with the band. Aurthohin are known for their mix of melodic acoustic numbers and extremely heavy metal numbers in their albums often containing lots of bass... read more They played lots of metal songs. In fact, some of their members were inspired by bands like Iron Maiden and Deep Purple. They never released a whole metal album, but each album contained some metal songs. And by metal, I meant pure metal genres like heavy metal, prog metal.
You have to understand, it's Aurthohin. You can make amazing songs with the bass guitar alone. I really hope Bassbaba gets well and blows our minds off!
This is the Japanese First Wave Black Metal band, not the more well-known British Thrash group.
