Ep-56 Swazönd, Crusted Black Metal band from Tokyo

Made in Japan-- Conversations with Meljo Catalan

This was an episode that I’ve been wanting to do for a long time. Brace yourselves as we dive head first into the underground Japanese Black Metal scene. I’ve been waiting because I was looking for a band that has that “it” factor when it comes to living and breathing within the Japan underground metal scene and has the chops to make an impressionable debut album. Meet Swazönd, a new band comprised of members who’ve made their mark within the scene and decided it was their “destiny” to get together, jam and make an album that makes you wanna groove and headbang at the same time. In my opinion, the true metal heads I’ve encountered are some of the nicest and most genuine people I know and Swazönd reaffirms this.
