Album Notes & Community Reviews
Propelled by Akira Takasaki's breathtaking, highly technical guitar wizardry, this album represents a massive leap forward for Japanese heavy metal on the global stage. The band blends the aggressive speed of the NWOBHM with progressive song structures and soaring, anthemic choruses. Originally released in Japanese, an English-language version was recorded shortly after to capitalize on their growing international momentum.
