Of course Rammstein has to be on this list.
They're the only non-English singing band to completely sell out Madison Square Garden... and did so in just 20 minutes. ;)

I find your lack of Maximum the Hormone disturbing...

[IshCaracal]

Japanese Metal actually sounds awesome!

[TMartinXV]

Maximum The Hormone should've been included in this list, they're a really good Japanese Punk/Metal band

[johnsmith-ijby]

Rammstein looks very full on maybe i should check them out.

[giselletorres]

Oh man, glad to see Boris on the list. Saw them live in Phoenix a year ago, one of the best concerts I've seen.

[kanielleoutis]

That's awesome, I'm glad the west is recognizing Dir en grey and X Japan, ppl seem more open to the European stuff but now Japan is showing how hard they kick ass!!!! That's the awesomeness of Metal it can be transformed and shaped into any way and it still sends shivers down your spine!!! Thank Loudwire for recognizing X Japan and Dir en grey!!! Honestly the two metal bands from Japan, they are always experimenting with new sounds and it's still so Metal!!!! \m/ oh and don't forget Baby Metal and the GazettE
