Best of 2025: Japanese Metal albums

2025 was an amazing year for Japanese metal albums.Here are my favorite J-metal albums. One of my favorite bands Schonberg returned to the music scene after taking a few years off because lead singer Naru had a health scare. Unfortunately in Serenity in Murder news, Timeless Reverie was the last album with their second vocalist Ayumu. I hope the band will continue on with a new singer.

03. Ghost Cries - Vrykolakas
