Magane ( Japanese 凶 音 ' mischief tones ') is a Japanese pagan metal band. The band calls their style of music "Yomi Metal", where Yomi refers to the realm of the dead in Shinto .

Foundation and style

The band was founded in Tokyo in the mid-1990s as Mortes Saltantes and was renamed Magane in 1999 , with three founding members; Drummer Yomituti, keyboardist Itukime and singer Yasufiko are still active in the group. Since the drummer and leader of the band Yomituti is currently receiving medical treatment, the band cannot currently perform and has taken a break.

The band combines Japanese folk music with metal and calls their style "Yomi-Metal", which is strongly influenced by Black Metal , but whose thoughts and melodies are influenced by ancient and traditional Japanese cultures. Stylistically, Magane uses a thrash-like , fast sound with the typical screeching vocals that are used in Black Metal and themes from the ancient epochs of Japan with folkloric elements created on the keyboard . This shows the closeness to Folk Metal . This is particularly noticeable in the texts about the pair of gods Izanagi and Izanami , who are responsible for the origin of the Japanese island in Japanese mythology .

Since the band has no satanic lyrics, it is only indirectly connected to black metal, especially since the band members do not call themselves a black metal band.
