Heavy metal with a filthy speed-metal motor and glorious horror-film grime, KANASHIBARI (カナシバリ) rip through 「ウェルカム・デッド」 (Welcome Dead) like Motörhead getting locked overnight inside a cursed VHS rental shop. Filmed at Koenji ShowBoat on 2026.1.31, the live clip captures the band exactly where they hit hardest: raw room acoustics, chainsaw riff tone, and that wonderfully unhinged balance between biker-metal momentum and Japanese occult theatrics. The title’s katakana phrasing gives it a delicious B-movie poster feel—“Welcome Dead” sounds less like a greeting and more like the marquee slogan for a zombie biker gang’s afterlife clubhouse. That camp-horror framing perfectly amplifies the band’s metal-first identity, where every chorus lands like a bar fight in the underworld.
