@ EARTHDOM
KRIEGSHOG
This was a show organized by HG FACT (Japan’s most venerable HC record label). it was the last show of the KRIEGSHOG / DOG SOLDIER tour, and both bands told me they felt some pressure to wrap things up on a suitably ass-kicking note (especially since they [...]
engrishhhh and random photos
suspicious engrish.
Or, in this case, English -
heh.
From the height of the Village People craze, a rough trade doll with powder blue codpiece marketed to 3 year olds.

OGRE
Ogre won my heart by introducing a song like this: "OK, this next song tells what happened before the last song."
in other words, ROCK OPERA.
With Iron Maiden falsetto screaming, stop-and-start riffs (like War Pigs) and 10-minute bridges – but played by totally unpretentious workin’ men from the muffler [...]
