I've been getting into Asian Metal and Rock for a few years now, and have recently really been digging into some of the faster, more interesting stuff to drum along to like Concerto, Sex Machineguns, and Versailles.
Being in Oregon, I have had a HELL of a time finding any material though, I had some random stuff downloaded from 2008, and have managed to scrape up CDs from X Japan, Moi dix mois, hide, and one or two others, but cant bring myself to order imports from Amazon at $40-70 a pop...
Then I found Heaven, quite literally. Now, I havent been home long enough to actually snag any of the great music available in the downloads section, but seeing things like Tang Dynasty, Sex Machineguns, and Hizaki Grace, which are only the beginning of what Ive been seeking makes me feel like crying and jumping like a little child.
I want to thank you all for forming this community, and for taking the time to help share and spread the music of these talented artists. I will certainly add everything I have to the library soon!
Thanks again all!

PS: Any musicians in the Eugene-Portland, OR area seeking to start or continue J-Rock/Metal, or other metal projects can certainly contact me for a drum or two... or 15...
