What artist or band should I highlight next?

Are you ready for the heaviest band to come out of Japan? 

In this episode, PJ Pat dives into the pages of Metal Hammer to discover Deviloof, a band that is redefining brutality. Blending the extreme sounds of Deathcore with the theatrical aesthetics of Visual Kei, they are creating a sound (and a look) that you have to see to believe.

We break down their history, their "World's Most Brutal" reputation, and their surprising connection to Hollywood royalty.

Who is Deviloof? The origins of Japan's heaviest export.

What is Visual Kei? How X Japan influenced the genre.

The Hollywood Connection: Why Tadanobu Asano (Raiden from Mortal Kombat) starred in their music video.

The Sound: Shredding, gutturals, and "larynx-rupturing shrieks."

If you love Slipknot or just want to find the heaviest music possible, you need to check this out.
