I'd say these guys are pretty unheard of here, so for some good cheesy Metal, they're pretty good. Not quite as over the top as Dragonforce, but pretty damn good in their own right.

Ok, that took me over half an hour to read.

I'm still a little iffy on that first line, but the second was clear as crystal.

Anyway, no idea about singing in English. I suppose to appeal to the western market? I mean, musically they're very much cut from the European Power Metal cloth, rather than the whole Visual Kei style, so they're aiming for a different scene/audience. I've even seen videos of the lead guitarist jamming with the guitarist from Sonata Arctica, so that would seem to support my theory.

It's like Sigh, another Japanese band who sing in English, and I think it's because they were in the whole Black Metal scene.

Sorry I can't reply in Japanese, I'll need to get some sort of keyboard program thing for the hiragana.
