Am I alone in my belief that a little Japanese nerd making concept albums about outer space via multi-layered Moog synthesizers is every bit as "metal" as a Cannibal Corpse record? Anyone?
No?
Observe: Nile, "Ramses Bringer of War". Tomita, "Mars, Bringer of War". Think about it, Hessian. Call me when you've caught up.

Good ear, dude.
Gonna have to say from back in the day when I bought "Pictures" I decided that Tomita was metal before metal even knew it was metal. In fact it wasn't a term even used yet. We just called it HEAVY!
