Nitro Mega Prayer is a Screamo band from Japan. They started in January of 1999 with Nakano (vocals), and Amano (guitar). They became a quintet with the introduction of Shimeda (guitar), Atsushi (bass), and Rinta (drum) in December 2000. They feel that shows are as important as the music itself, and this can be seen in their intense and energetic live performances. They just finished up a new album entitled, "Songs of Hypocrisy". The sound quality is much improved from previous releases.

In 2005 they released a Japanese only split release with fellow Philadelphia screamo / chaotic hardcore band Balboa which was released on Theory and Practice Records and later organized a Japanese tour with Balboa in support of the release in November of 2005. This split CD showcased the further expansion on NMP's sound while incorporating electronic sounds and samples into the intricate mix of caustic screamo.

In March of 2006 Nitro Mega Prayer embarked on an east coast tour with their good friends Balboa and received critical acclaim for their "off the hook" performances. The Japanese only split saw the offical state-side release by Chicago indie label Forge Again Records.
