Ok this is fun: Seikima-II. The look is influenced by Kiss and the sound by Maiden (including, eerily, the lead vocals), but they pull it off so well.

And what a great look and stage presence for the lead singer.

okay so the singer of this band goes by the moniker デーモン閣下, or His Excellency Demon Kakka in englsh, and has reportedly never appeared in public out of character.
