What artist or band should I highlight next?

Are you ready for the heaviest band to come out of Japan?

In this episode, we dive into the pages of Metal Hammer to discover Deviloof, a band that is redefining brutality. Blending the extreme sounds of Deathcore with the theatrical aesthetics of Visual Kei, they are creating a sound (and a look) that you have to see to believe.

We break down their history, their "World's Most Brutal" reputation, and their surprising connection to Hollywood royalty.

In this video, we discuss:

Who is Deviloof? The origins of Japan's heaviest export.

What is Visual Kei? How X Japan influenced the genre.

The Hollywood Connection: Why Tadanobu Asano (Raiden from Mortal Kombat) starred in their music video.

The Sound: Shredding, gutturals, and "larynx-rupturing shrieks."

If you love Slipknot, Dir En Grey, or just want to find the heaviest music possible, you need to check this out.
