When it comes to Halloween songs, this is the one! A special feature on Japanese tracks that hype up the karaoke crowd

Wax Museum Seikima-II ICBM

When it comes to demonic songs in Japan… it has to be this one.

It’s a signature track by the heavy metal band Seikima-II.

Released in 1986 as their debut single, it became such a hit that it stirred up the Japanese music scene at the time.

It’s one of their most popular songs—arguably the one that gets the crowd most fired up at their shows.

Perhaps playing off that popularity, they often do comedic bits in the pre-song MC to hype up the audience.

Still, the song itself is undeniably cool.

Sing it with masculine strength and elegance, just like His Excellency Demon Kakka.
