June 24 marks the release of “Cover Metal Now,” described as J-pop’s first ever heavy metal cover album. The collection features unexpected renditions of 10 top-selling hits, such as GReeeeN’s “Aiuta” and Ayaka’s “Mikazuki.”
The covers are performed by the trio Dr. Metal Factory, which was temporarily formed for just a week to record this album. The group’s vocalist is Nobuo Yamada, also known as NoB of the band MAKE-UP that became famous for the “Saint Seiya” theme song “Pegasus Fantasy.” He is joined by Shara (formerly of EARTHSHAKER) and HAL氏.
