Anthem is a J-Metal band that was formed during 1981 in Tokyo, and they are considered to be one of the earliest pioneering bands of Japanese Heavy Metal alongside Loudness and Earthshaker. They are credited as the first band to have a song used as promotion for a videogame in their single "Xanadu", released in 1986 for promoting Nihon Falcom's computer RPG "Dragon Slayer II: Xanadu".
