Tokyo's fiercest metal acts clash for ultimate bragging rights.

The Show

Expect a packed house, sweat, and a palpable sense of anticipation as these bands fight for their spot in the next round. This isn't just a gig; it's a gladiatorial arena where raw power and precision rule, with every chord feeling like a declaration of war. Get ready for a night of headbanging and pure, unadulterated metal energy at Cyclone.

The Artists

This year’s Metal Battle brings out some heavy hitters like GUNGIRE and GIVEN BY THE FLAMES, promising raw, unadulterated power that'll rattle your teeth. Keep an eye on NEON ONI for a modern, possibly cyber-infused edge, and HOTOKE for what could be a surprisingly brutal or uniquely Japanese take on the sound. Vesper the Aerial rounds out the bill, perhaps bringing a touch of progressive melody to the mayhem, making for a truly diverse heavy lineup.

The Area

Shibuya's always a journey, from the sensory overload of the Scramble to the slightly quieter backstreets where Cyclone waits patiently. Before you dive into the pit, grab some surprisingly good yakitori on Dogenzaka or a quick, potent bowl at Ramen Nagi; it’s perfect fuel for a metal night. This part of Tokyo lives and breathes live music, with venues stacked close, making it easy to hop off the train and right into the action.
