Old band that has risen from the grave...

[labrekk]

NWOBHM dudes TOKYO BLADE have a new album called Thousand Men Strong. And the album rocks IMO. The four original members got a powerful new singer and still play traditional metal. Here are some YouTube links (sound is not too good, but on the album, it sounds excellent).

Thousand Men Strong


Here's a review: http://rockchoice.com/review-tokyo-blade-thousand-men-strong/

Thanks for posting. Will be checking into this release a bit more. So far so good.

They really havent risen from the grave.....they have been active again for a while now.

 

[Palabra de Dios]

Doesn't matter. They're a freakin' sweet band.

 

[TENTH DREAMER DECEIVER]

Emusic has it and now so do I. Tsangerides producing was the selling point for me.

When was their last studio album? Surely more than 10 years...I think they released a live album a couple years ago, but that was just with older songs.

Never heard of them before, but I do like what I hear. I'll look into them.

Okay I hate to be a complainer of this sort of thing, but why do we keep having threads with subjects without the actual band name in the title? Just wondering as it seems to be happening fairly frequently over the last couple of months.

 

[Purveyor Of Evil]

Midnight Rendezvous and Night of the Blade are absolute fucking classics. Both of these albums ruled my freshman and sophomore high school years!

Since you had never heard of Tokyo Blade before, would it have mattered? You might not have even clicked on it, then...

Start with their early 80s albums. I mind they went soft like Saxon around 1985 or 86.

Why do you care? More often than not, if the person doesn't know the band named on the thread title, they won't even bother checking the band out. That's just the reality of how folks seem to be on the forum...

I tend to look at most posts whether I've heard of the band or not. But you may very well be right in terms of others seeing it. I was merely curious more than anything and not trying to pigeonhole this specific thread. I just have been seeing a lot of it lately.

I can't really listen to anything from this band without the singer from the debut, just does nothing for me :\

That's the point. To make some people click on the post that otherwise maybe would not if the band name was in the title...

Like the new singer. Hear tinges of DC Cooper and Ripper.
