Seikima‑II (pronounced Seikimatsu, literally “The End of the Century”) is a theatrical Japanese heavy metal band formed in Shinjuku, Tokyo in 1982. With their striking Kabuki-inspired makeup, demon personas, and elaborate stage performances, they've crafted a unique image alongside a powerful sound reminiscent of Iron Maiden and Judas Priest .
Their fictional lore describes them as demonic missionaries from a futuristic demon world, preaching “Akumakyō” (Devil’s Scripture) through metal music. True to their narrative, they disbanded precisely at 23:59:59 on December 31, 1999, after “conquering the world” through heavy metal
