In 1981 Japanese Metal band Loudness released their debut album "Birthday Eve" An exciting collection of songs with an extraorinary high standard of quality, and a unique style. While the metal world had yet to discover bands that only sung in French or Spanish (yes H-Bomb, Sortilege and Baron Rojo) Loudness used Japanese lyrics.
Weird as this may sound, it was accepted in the community of Metalheads.
Birthday Eve is filled with great tracks, lots of inspiration for a sunday afternoon of airguitaring or airdrumming. To Be Demon is a half/ballad with an incredible Minoru Niihare on vocals.
This clip was taken from the CLASSIC LOUDNESS LIVE dvd that was released in 2009.
So 28 years later, here is Loudness.....
