The extreme power metal group known as 'Blood Moon' is going to premiere on March 31st in the newly finished Metaldome. Tickets are priced at a mere $45 per ticket.


Blood Moon - 8-person Band - Extreme Power Metal

Toji - Speed drummer. Wild and chaotic the spirit of the band is put into Toji. A songwriter and amazing drummer he has been nicknamed 'Shadow Styx' for his amazing speed which his hands literally blur during the intense songs.

Ryu - Thrash Guitarist. Every bit as wild and chaotic as Toji and Mada. He plays Jackson Guitars and has a special twin neck and plays like Yngwie Malmsteen if he played extreme metal. He is a master of the two necked guitar. He just back up vocals as well.

Mada - Thrash Guitarist / Grand Piano. Among the fastest shredders in the world and expert and wild piano player. He easily ranks up with Ryu as one of the fastest and most extreme guitarist. Powerful and soft-voiced he's one of the few members of the band that represents the genre best.

Carmen - Singer. Her heavenly and distant angelic voice is perfectly honed for opera, but she brings her blessed voice to Blood Moon instead. Elegant and never shy she is capable of bringing crowds to attention just by appearance. Beautiful and angelic in appearance and voice she's the lead singer for the band.

Anna - Singer / Choral / Drums. One of the few woman drum players in the world for a major band. She is lightning fast and graceful as she matches in rhythm with Toji or sings along with Carmen in her own beautiful voice.

Oniwaka - Bass / Singer. An excellent deep-voiced singer and master bass player. He usually sings the more heavy and epic battle songs. Oniwaka is kind and gentle, but his deep voice and large size make him stand out.

Edward - Bass / Singer. Much like Oniwaka in bass playing ability, Edward offers a soft and sweet voice to the band while providing absolutely wild thrash bass playing. Often playing along with Oniwaka just to keep up with the intensity of the music, they get along well and add the final depth to the singing.

Drake - Leader / Supreme Guitar / Lead Male Singer. Drake is the most intimidating and stand out member of the band. He also runs it with an iron fist. At a height of 6'5" and 300 pounds of pure muscle he is the enormous lead singer with a deep voice to match. He doesn't play a standard guitar but his own hybrid creation he calls a 'Great Axe' which is a four foot long guitar with 18 strings. He writes the more brutal songs of the band.

The band is playing:

Blood Moon - 12:31
Nosferatu Dreams - 7:43
Hellfire on the Battlefield - 25:43
Requiem for the Damned - 8:19
The Soul-less One - 16:03
Eternal Warcry - 5:46

The Entire Bahamut Saga

Dragon Memories - 2:30
Bahamut the Wyrm King - 76:53
Bahamut Skykeeper - 75:45
Bahamut's Final Clash - 78:40

A night of heavy power metal for all as the band plays some of the most extreme metal ever to grace the world. One Night Only!


The metaldome is a state-of-the art arena capable of holding 180,000 patrons in a specifically designed environment for the genre of music known as Metal.

Features:

The outside of the building is covered with Oleds that can turn on and display burning flames and highlight attractions. The entire stadium outside is like a large television screen that beckons its patrons inside with towering letters, epic battle scenes and clips of past shows.

The inside is marble tile and the support structure is wrapped in Oleds that are wired up to display styling in a 3-d way to appear as if they were weak or change the appearance. Often used to have it appear as if flowing blood or blood-stained walls/floor/pillars line the way into the stadium.

The inside of the arena is a massive .8 mile radius that can hold up to 180,000 patrons. Seats have ample legroom and are fine leather cushions that suit for the more quiet and relaxed fans. Each seat has laser diodes light up the numbers of the seat and line the inside of the arena during performances which usually operate without much internal lighting.

The inside is larger then a football field and surrounds the stage against the far side of the arena. It is one giant area for patrons to stand and cheer on the band as they play the music they love. It can be changed into a mosh pit among other things. The inside 'pit' actually comes with a promise to not sue or attack other patrons. In the pit the shows often get interactive with the crowds as well...

The stage is on a series of lifts that can literally pick up the stage and move it higher or lower and even individual pieces. They stage is divided into four stages.

Orchestral - Infront of the stage the first section is able to hold over 200 orchestral performers and their instruments. This section of the stage is usually unused and acts as a defunct piece which is lowered down into the basement of the Metaldome to add additional space.

Choir - Flanking the center stage two sections that are specially designed to the Metaldome allow for a large choir or whatever purpose to serve the band in their performances. This section can also be lowered down to the ground to add additional space for patrons.

Drama stage - This is usually where the band performs unless they plan to do some stage show with actors or exceeding elaborate plots. This is infront of the center stage, but after the orchestral piece. It can also be lowered for more space.

Center stage - Where the band plays. The building was built around the idea of a central stage where everything else is focused in. The center stage is rigged with fireworks, cannons, four huge fog machines that can completely encase the stage in a matter of seconds in dense fog. All pyrotechnics from the ground are launched into the air from this stage. The band plays in the full power of a wall of speakers and 240000 sq ft television that displays the band playing on the far side. A 600 ft wide 400 ft tall screen.

Over the center stage is a large array of lasers, spot lights and other lights that hang from the ceiling in between a massive snow maker that can literally cause snow to fall on to the arena and center stage. Usually combined for dramatic effect with the large sceens that surround the inside of the stadium walls on all sides to play a 360 degree panoramic view of flames or other things to add to the stadiums immense visual and audio work.

The metaldome took four years to build and three years to install all components and make everything work. Tonight is the live premiere of Blood Moon that promises to have a 100 person orchestra playing as a 200 person choir sings all to a staged set of brutal fights in the beginning and then the movie will done as the Bahamut saga plays out on screen as the band plays and sings.

Welcome to the next-generation of metal.
