There is something very wrong about this. And yet...

Check out the band Gallhammer if you want "real" metal featuring Japanese schoolgirl types
(Yes they are all girls lol)

Things of note:
4) If you show this to an actual metalhead, he or she will never forgive you.

So that must make oldbloke either very brave or very foolish, as I believe there are a few lurking around this forum, I've previously been vilified for mentioning that I happen to like my metal with a harmonious female vocal (e.g. Sirenia, Nightwish, Within Temptation).

I'm not one of them, so will visit YouTube at lunchtime.


Edit, 12:45
That is just WRONG on so many levels!
I will never forgive you oldbloke :evil:

I care not for the disdain of metal fans, I stick to my Steely Dan collection.

I prefer this comment..

As one Jezebel commenter wrote in response to a post about the video, "Somewhere in Norway there is a metalhead in corpse paint standing in a forest crying tears of blood.”

Yes it is so wrong on so many levels but that is what makes it amazing. I have found myself looking for more and more videos after reading that article

Considering the Japanese penchant for pictures of young women dressed as school girls I understand their popularity in Japan, not sure about why they are popular over here though....

 

[krazypara3165]

Oh dear........

Still have some metal in my music library but this is shocking!

they are literally school girls. I think atleast one is 14... very strange. I went to a gig in Wrexham. Can't remember who the main act was, but they were supported by a thai metal band called chthonic who are now touring with this babymetal band. There is only one woman in the band there, and she is something special (and of age)... have a look for Doris Yeh on google... stunning. By goth girl standards, she's a f***ing princess!

I get called a metalhead quite often, and to be fair I've heard a lot worse from other metal bands. But I'm not sold on this. The instrumental side is pretty good. but as soon as you put the vocals over, I can't help but think of the metal barbie girl spoof, an interesting change to hear, especially now that everyone thinks metal has to be death metal and all the vocals sound like the rear end of a demon after hell's hottest curry, but there are far better unusual bands to listen to (Alestorms pirate metal as an example)

Strong work Moley :thumb: the missus came down the aisle to Lithium by Evanescence and we had the first dance to Sinead by Within Temptation :) and let's be honest, Sharon Den Adel is quite easy on the eye!

Wow, speechless really. I can see the hardcore metallers learning dance moves now :
