METAL SAFARI is a metal band. Period. Those who enjoy putting bands into categories will discover in their music elements of thrash metal, thrashcore and metalcore, topped with a handful of groove. The band members, however, simply say: "We are a JAPANESE HEAVY METAL band" and anyone who likes heavy metal, in the broad sense, will not be disappointed. Their lyrics are, on one hand, fictional stories and, on the other, texts dealing with the issues of society, human emotions and one's relation to the surrounding world.

A band with strong global ambitions right from the start, the members of METAL SAFARI quickly attracted international media attention and they have performed outside of Japan several times, including tours of China, Taiwan and Poland.
