Synopsis
Seikima II was a real-life Japanese death-metal band. Full of kabuki makeup, songs about rape, murder, and satanic destruction, and a public persona of devilish evil. The OVA purports to tell the backstory of the band, which, according to its publicity, was composed of actual demons (akuma) from the parallel dimension Makai. In the OVA, five vicious demons (the five band members), led by Demon Kogure (the lead singer), are plotting the destruction of humanity. The only effective opposition comes from the saintly Rosa, who is actually the reformed war goddess Freyja in disguise. The demons attempt to activate their ultimate weapon, the Tower of Babel, before Rosa can complete her counter weapon, the Tower of Cain. The demons triumph and are on the verge on destroying the world when their leader suddenly decides that they should, instead, form a rock-and-roll band in order to convert people everywhere into demon worshipers.

In order to get the full experience of this OVA and get all the references, You need to hear the albums from Seikima II from 1985-1991 because this OVA came out after Yuu-Gai came out. You can hear all the albums on Spotify. *Fans of 80s style Classic Heavy Metal will get alot of enjoyment out of this.* Akuma ga Kitarite Heavy Metal (聖飢魔II〜悪魔が来たりてヘヴィメタる, 1985) The End of the Century (1986) From Hell with Love (地獄より愛をこめて, 1986) Big Time Changes (1987)The Outer Mission (1988) Worst (1989) *Greatest Hits with re recordings + new tracks* Yūgai (有害, 1990) 愛と虐殺の日々(1991) *New Album merged with more re recordings* This OVA is basically the backstory of Seikima II, which is considered a legendary band in Japan who sold over 10 million records in Japan alone, it's currently unknown how much they've sold world wide. They were referenced in Fist Of The North Star, Yu Yu Hakusho, etc. They also had a video game and this OVA made based on them and even as far as cereal boxes and other merch. They even did a cover of Deep Purple's "Burn" with Glenn Hughes, was a really great performance. Demon Kakka, the lead singer of the band is a very influential figure in Japan, he has an interview with the late Larry King from the early 90s. His previous name was Demon Kogure. He appeared in quite a few Anime's as a voice actor including Legend Of The Overfiend. One other member of Seikima II, Damien Hamada, has his own band called "Damien Hamada's Creatures" who put out their 1st EPs last year. This was overall a very enjoyable OVA with some twists and turns.
