Reigning over the indie music scene, Detroit Metal City (DMC) has become a celebrated death‑metal outfit famed for its intensely dark and unrefined aesthetic. The flamboyant frontman, Johannes Krauser II, is notorious for being portrayed as a demonic entity that emerged from hell"s fiery depths to subjugate humanity—or at least that is the image he promotes.
In reality, Krauser II is merely an alter‑ego of a typical college graduate, Souichi Negishi. While he speaks softly, cherishes peace, and prefers listening to Swedish pop all day, he must perform at DMC"s outrageous shows to earn a living. Detroit Metal City follows Negishi as he navigates the chaotic life of a band, an unexpected romance, and the relentless devotion of his fervent fans.
Additionally, his day‑to‑day routine alternates between rehearsals and late‑night studio sessions, while he keeps his secret identity hidden from the media.
