I wanted to see if they have been up to anything recently or if they were even possibly touring Japan after I get there (next week!). They aren&#8217;t touring, BUT they are playing a single gig that I was previously unaware of, Loud Park, a festival that is just a short train ride away from my future apartment. <\/p>\n<p>The festival lineup features only one other band that I&#8217;ve been longing to see that I haven&#8217;t witnessed live previously, Arch Enemy from Sweden. There are some other good bands playing that I have seen several times before like Judas Priest, Megadeth, and Slayer. The rest of the time I&#8217;ll figure out some way to rest and enjoy the madness of way too many people crammed into the place.<\/p>\n<p>Getting a ticket turned out to be much easier than expected given that I wasn&#8217;t in Japan when they went on sale. A complete stranger on Facebook purchased one for me. Thank you Ayaka!<\/p>\n<p>Stay tuned for a couple of months to get my report. While the lineup isn&#8217;t as impressive as <a href=http:\/\/traveljapanblog.com\/wordpress\/tag\/metaltown-2008\/>Metaltown 2008<\/a>, maybe they will add another great band or two before the big weekend.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A few weeks back I went to the website of my favorite Japanese band, Outrage.
