Anthem (アンセム) were one of a handful of Japanese Heavy Metal band formed in 1980 in Tokyo, they were called "The Tokyo Metal Machine". Their music is very similar in style to countrymen Loudness and Earthshaker. Disbanded since 1992, the group reformed in 2000 and released the album Heavy Metal Anthem, a reworking of some older Anthem tunes now featuring noted vocalist Graham Bonnet. Since then, original vocalist Eizo Sakamoto (who hadn't sung with the band since 1987 because he started up the band Animetal which performed heavy metal covers of anime and tokusatsu (science fiction shows like Ultraman) opening and closing themes. He also was involved with the anison "supergroup" JAM Project before reuniting with Anthem) has returned to the group.
Present members:
- vocals - Eizo Sakamoto
