Rockbar Painkiller

Tokyo 国分寺市

A basement "loud-music playground" for hard rock and heavy metal, just a short walk from the south exit of Kokubunji Station. Named after the Judas Priest classic, it was opened in 2016 by an owner who is a devoted fan of melodic HR/HM, and welcomes metalheads with ear-splitting music, videos, drinks and food. With a drum kit and amps always set up, it hosts a monthly all-genre jam session, thrash/death metal sessions, metal DJ nights and live shows.
