For those of you who are fans of Rare Japanese Heavy Metal from the 1980’s, please check out the band, Crowley! According to Encyclopaedia Metallum, the Japanese band formed in February of 1982 as a Heavy/Speed Metal band and consisted of 4 members; vocalist Takashi “Hawk head Sean” Iwai, guitarist Yoshinori Kokune, drummer Hiro Mitsu, and bassist Shunji Miyoshi. They were on Electric Lady land records.

Crowley, a heavy metal band in Japan, was revived, and on December 30, 2017 he performed a revival at the live house in Nagoya. I am a member of Japan O.T. O. Since I was a fan of them 30 years ago, I have participated in this revival live. Crowley is back!
