Broken by the scream

Broken By The Scream (BBTS), formed in 2017, is a Japan-based “metal screaming
idol” act that fuses extreme metal with idol performance aesthetics.
Blending ferocious growls and high-intensity screams with crystal-clear melodic
vocals, the group delivers a truly unique sonic identity. Their technically driven band
sound combined with aggressive choreography has continuously made a strong
impact on heavy music scenes both in Japan and internationally.
In 2025, BBTS successfully completed a European tour across seven countries with
nine shows, including a main stage performance at Resurrection Fest (Spain) and an
appearance at Japan Expo (France). The group also held a one-man live show “THY
ART FROM WITHIN” at Daikanyama UNIT in Tokyo.
On August 13, 2025, they released their 4th full-length album Solar Strain, featuring
the 14-minute epic track “Tsuioku no Nasca,” showcasing the band’s ambitious
musical direction and expanded artistic scope.
In 2026, Broken By The Scream officially signed with the globally renowned metal
label Metal Blade Records.
The band is confirmed to perform at the world’s largest metal festival Wacken Open
Air (Germany), as well as Reload Festival and Summer Breeze Open Air, marking a
major expansion into Europe’s premier metal festival circuit.
As a rare act that seamlessly merges idol culture with extreme music, BBTS
continues to build a passionate global fanbase, establishing a distinctive position
among Japanese metal artists worldwide. Doors open 19:30
