Album Notes & Community Reviews

The pioneering Japanese quartet quickly followed their groundbreaking debut with this blistering, highly technical heavy metal assault. The record is driven by Akira Takasaki's breathtaking, neoclassical guitar virtuosity and Minoru Niihara's powerful, piercing vocal delivery. 'Devil Soldier' firmly established their domestic dominance and primed them for their eventual massive push into the international heavy metal market.
