Heavy Metal Church on 666 day

 

We have been working on this “Heavy Metal Church” project since 2023.
It’s a God given mission. It was God’s guidance. It’s our dream we have always had.
We’ve been working with pastors and fellow Christians who love heavy metal music. We became a really good team.

And now, we are happy to announce that we have another “Heavy Metal Church Service”.
This time, it’s bigger. Because of God’s guidance, we are doing this at a big church in Ikebukuro, Tokyo. It’s like “Wow, we can play heavy metal at this big church? You say we can go as loud as we want? Incredible!!!”
(The church is “Chuo Fukuin Church” in Ikebukuro. Assemblies of God.)

We have a great guest band. That is Antidemon, the legendary Christian deathmetal band from Brazil! (We are friends😀)

For some reasons, we are doing this on June 6th 2026. (2026/6/6) That is the day of “666”.
We decided to look at what the Bible says about “666 and heavy metal”. A renowned theologian will give a sermon about “what 666 really is”.

We do this for heavy metal lovers. We are inviting non-Christian heavy metal lovers. We are making buzz both in Christian music scene and Japanese heavy metal scene.

[イベント趣旨]
2023年よりメタルを愛する信徒と牧師が集まり爆音のうちにキリスト教界隈を騒がせてきた「日本版ヘヴィメタルチャーチ」。第4回となる今回は奇しくも「666の日」、2026年6月6日の開催となった。
この機会を逃さず、我々はこのキリスト教で忌避される獣の数字に切り込み、光を当てることとした。説教題は「獣の数字とは何かー666に聖書とメタルから光を当てる」聖書研究の専門家である神学者が「666とヘヴィメタルの関係」を本気で解き明かす。
ブラジルのクリスチャンデスメタルバンドAntidemonを迎え轟音とデスヴォイスの咆哮に礼拝堂が揺れる。ヘヴィメタル賛美チームによって様式美メタルによる賛美曲が鳴り響く。
ヘヴィメタルは決して闇のための音楽ではなく、その中には光がある。クリスチャンたる我々はメタルを通して希望を宣べ伝える。
さあ爆音を通じて信念を分かち合おう。Keep The Faith。神の御前でメタルの信念を諸君に問う。

 

This time, because of the church facility, we are not sure if we are going to do a livestream. But we are willing and we will try. If we do a livestream, I think it’s going to be on YouTube. (Imari Tones’ YouTube channel)
