I've recently discovered these guys, and they rock so much that people need to know.
Official website:
http://www.geocities.jp/ridetometal/Official myspace:
http://www.myspace.com/intentionmetalThey're a new indie metal band called INTENTION and don't seem to have a label yet. So far they have one three-track single (on CDR) and one song on a compilation album, though apparently they have material for a new full-length album and are just looking for a singer (I guess the old one left) before they record.
So, discography:
INTENTION - Fire in the Sky, Intention Music Entertainment ID-003
Samurai Metal Vol. 2, Samurai Sound Association SSMC-9002
They play original '80s/'90s "LA metal", lyrics in English. And seriously, they kick ass!! They have their songs up on their myspace, I especially like "Final Destination".
So if you like them go friend them on myspace and tell them they rock, because good new bands like this need encouragement.
