Metal clubs in Tokyo?

I am coming all the way from Finland to spend at least one month in Tokyo. So, it would be nice to know if there are any night clubs dedicated to the metal music in Tokyo, I would be very interested to visit them. Let me know if you have any information about this! Thank you.

Perhaps Club Quattro in Shibuya. Though I have no idea who is on the line up now I have seen a few heavy bands play at the Nagoya Venue.

I recommend a club called Antiknock in Shinjuku , a good selection of metal most nights.

Tried the AntiKnock the other night. It's a punk venue. Continue your search and if you find anything let me know!

Well the two nights i was there it was metal , try checking the schedule before you go :)

Oh shit, the schedule!! Genius!

-The schedule is relatively meaningless when you can't find any info about the bands listed

-I talked to a guy that works there and a guy that claimed to be a regular and they both said that the lineup is generally punk.

On the plus side, i did find out that there's a metal show at the Wall (shinjuku; http://www.livehouse-wall.com/wall/flame.html) on Saturday, August 25th. (lineup: FASTKILL, ABIGAIL, SIGH, REVOLT) I haven't heard much from any of these bands, but at the very least i think it'll be amusing.

Thanks for the info ' mate :)
I'll be back in Tokyo next May - keep posting any more venues you find :)

i was gonna ask this questions,!
i will be staying in Shinjuku so i must cheack out the place mentioned above, hope Japanese metal fans aren't too crazy though!

I am not a metalhead; but Steve Schultz is. Read his website (http://www.hellodamage.com/] for names and locations of metal and thrash clubs in Tokyo. Many of them are in Shinjuku [west]; some are in Koenji. There is also a *bar* in Yokohama ["Thrash Zone"] which only plays thrash music over its public address system.
