Power metal flashes in glorious 80s hard-rock neon as HAGANE’s MV for “Black Diamond” arrives looking like it time-traveled straight out of a lost late-’80s Headbangers Ball vault.

The genius nerd-hook is the contrast: visually Sunset Strip, sonically modern Japanese steel, like Rainbow and early Helloween got remastered through a 2026 girls-metal engine.
