If you didn't know, Animetal does heavy metal covers of anime theme songs, such as those from St. Seiya, Nuku Nuku, Devilman, Sailormoon and more. As a fan of old Metallica, Slayer, and the European metal scene, I can't get enough of it. Rock on.

There was this one song by Sex Machine Guns that was featured in one of the Kochikame movies. I wish I could remember the song, but that one was tight Very Happy

They're pretty good. I found their cover of the Evangelion theme, wasn't too bad. They do a lot of covers I found, and not just of anime, also Metallica.

Actually, I think their version of Cruel Angel's Thesis is about the only version of the song that I can listen to anymore.

I've known them to do anme and tokusatsu covers, but I never knew they did Metallica, too. That's kinda cool. I still prefer the anime songs over much of anything. Their covers of Space Batleship Yamato and Science Ninja Team Gatchaman's theme songs are some of thier best, in my opinion.

They did three original pieces for the Rurouni Kenshin anime, too: Towa no Mirai was the ending theme to the film Ishin Shishi he no Requiem and to celebrate the films release they released two other pieces, Shukuteki Kenzan (Meeting Old Enemies) and The Juppongatana. Does anyone know of any other original works they've done?

One song of them is also used in the last City Hunter TV Special from 1999.
I've been at a live concert of Sex Machineguns in Kobe with a friend of mine and boy, as gaijins we were so much out of place amongst all those thousands of fangirls in gothic clothes Laughing
