A couple of months ago, I introduced you to the European bands Nightwish and Beast in Black. This time around, we have one more of the big names of power metal, Sabaton, backed up by the more symphonic Epica. We are currently on the eve of Sabaton's latest American tour, The Tour To End All Tours, which is set to start on September 15. And before the Editor-in-Chief asks, yes, both of these bands are relevant to our coverage here. If you're a power metal fan, you should see these bands. They are well worth the journey, and you'll even learn a thing or two.

ONE OK ROCK will grace the American shores once more in a litle over a week's time. Just a couple of days ago, their tenth album, "Luxury Disease," was released globally.

About a month ago, the news that BAND-MAID would release an anime-style music video was announced. The group has made good on its promise.
Crunchyroll Expo is fast approaching. On Friday, July 22, anime fans at San Diego Comic Con were given a sneak-preview of one of the musical acts, ATARASHII GAKKO!. In Japan, they're known as ??????????? (ATARASHII GAKKO NO LEADERS), and the quartet brings a frenetic pace that transcends any one genre.
UPDATE: The worst case scenario has come to fruition. The hopes would be that Tomomi was the only one to become infected and that she would get over it quickly. It is not unheard of for someone to be back on their feet in less than a week. Sadly, the exact opposite happened: the rest of the band began showing symptoms. This is not unexpected, give how close bands are. Management has officially pulled the stops on the North American leg of the MIRROR World Tour. Tickets will be refunded. With any luck we might be able to see the band again after they do the rest of the world tour but that is to be determined.
