Interview:
Is Superbeast a live performing band, too, or just a studio project? As far as I know Ganzz started it after the demise of his previous band, Mad Machine, a band that was into Power Metal rather than what you play now. What triggered this change of styles?
Of course it is a live performance band. If you have a live offer, I will put a tour member and play it.
About style change originally I was doing a death metal band before Mad Machine. After Mad Machine was over, I began thinking of doing an extreme metal band again. Valan also played drums at Mad Machine.
Who are the band members at the moment, and have you all had previous experience in other bands? How serious are you all about Superbeast? What's your main target with this band?
The official members at the moment are only the brothers of Valan (vocal, drum) and Ganzz (guitar). Before Mad Machine I was playing together with ”Black Hole" Death Metal band.
Superbeast is aiming for a band that can continuously perform worldwide activities.
The band's name is simple yet powerful, who came up with the idea? Does it has any special meaning?
It made it a straight and simple name of a band that aggressiveness is conveyed. I think that it is a suitable name for the death metal band. In Japanese it is called "cho-ju??".
So far you have released a digital EP, A New Future. What can you tell us about the tracks featured on it? Where was it recorded? How were the reactions to it?
I recorded in Tokyo and I finished it into a rough sound.
As long as I see reviews from overseas, I think that the reaction is good.
About tracks:
"Killer shower" - A song that depicts the life of an assassin. The man who entered the world of darkness is manipulated, and it goes deeply into the world of assassination.
"Hidden truth" - The song that this world is dominated by authorities. I drew a process of confronting with our power.
"A New Future" - Humans with no ability will be eliminated. War starts population reduction and people lose the future. Be ruled by a mighty human
"Waking Power" - I awoke to my power/. Change from the failed past to the future to success
"Revenge Of The Anger" - People full of anger begin to kill and dye life with blood
I also saw you have a full-length album recorded, Hateful, before A New Future, in 2011 if I'm not mistaking, correct? Is that already released, or what's the deal with it? That one had a bit more Groove in it, am I right?
Yes.
The 1st album Hateful is released on CD and digital in 2011.
Music style certainly emphasized grooves more than now.
It is a style close to Pantera.
As a difference from A New Future, Hateful has its lyrics in Japanese. How come? I think that will be an exotic feature for the rest of the World, it will probably get better reactions, but how do you feel about it?
Although I tried to sing all in Japanese, I thought that singing must be sung in English to do worldwide activities now I am doing it halfway. I hope the world accepts even Japanese.
How hard is it for a Japanese band to make a name for itself within the local scene? Are there many places where you can play live? How the Metal scene in Japan nowadays?
In Japan it is almost impossible for J-pop to be a trend and the metal band will succeed. There are many places to play, but you have to pay for playing. Japanese tend to hate Japanese metal bands.
I saw Valan is also into body-building. Is this a hobby, or it more than that? What else do you guys do beside the band? How easy is it to start and develop a Metal band in Japan?
Valan is doing boxing and body building as a hobby. In the body building I became a champion in Tokyo. In Japan it is very difficult to earn money with a metal band.
