Luke Takamura III, the former shredder of heavy metal band Seikima-II; and Miki*sun-go*Igarashi, guitarist of pioneering all-female metal band SHOW-YA.

JPU Records founder and CEO Tom Smith comments, “We get a lot of requests from fans of Japanese metal for bands to work with, but rarely on the same scale as with Mary’s Blood. I flew to Tokyo to see what all the fuss was about and instantly knew this band had the power and skill to go international. Stuff the language barrier; these ladies are fluent in heavy metal. The guitar solos remind me of why I fell in love with rock music as a kid, and make me just as excited.”
