Maximum the Hormone

One of my friend was talking about this artist and all I know is this group has cut-down versions of their songs in the 2nd opening and ending of Death Note. Anyways, if anyone is interested for the information of this, it's in various web pages, and yes, Wikipedia and Answers.com. Leave feedback on this if you are interested.

Hey I have that band on my IPOD. There music are freaking AWESOME!!!!!!!!!!!!

They are a pretty good group, not half bad for a band that is contributing stuff to the likes of death note and have come up on the Oricon charts.

Admittingly the last band I thought I'd see make it this big, but at least people are listening to this and not ayumi hamasaki, boa, etc.

MTH is really fucking good. They're an alternative band with hardcore, metal and punk influences. They aren't visual kei and they toured in America with Dropkick Murphys once.
I heard them first in GFDM, their song ROLLING100tOON was in there. ROLLING is also the opening for Airmaster if I'm correct.

The best part about the entire band though is that drummer. She's female, which is rare, and she also sings in many of the songs. She's really good at both too.

If you like this, there's not a lot I've heard yet that's exactly like them in Japan, but I'd suggest Imitation Pops Uchuu Sentai NOIZ. While they are FAR more eclectic than MTH, incorporating elements of VKei, Techno, Hip-Hop, and even Eurobeat into their music (I hear some very Rage Against the Machine influences in there), their sound is upbeat, hard and energetic without being dark or heavy, very much like MAXIMUM THE HORMONE accomplishes.

Get the album Buiikikaesu and the Enzui Tsuki Waru EP.

The Single Maxi Tsume Tsume Tsume's out now. Has only three tracks: Tsume Tsume Tsume, [F], and Kill The 394. MTH are the shit (it's obvious for my sig posted here)!
