Tokyo Blade - Hoist The Colours High (CD) digipak

"Hoist The Colours High" is the fourteenth album of the British outfit that can look back on more than forty-five years of band history, although some rather quiet periods and minor time-offs and line-up changes happened in the past. In recent times, the band around founding members Andy Boulton (g) und Steve Pierce (d) has been pretty active and solidify their status as a reliable force in terms of melodic and classic metal. Their sound is pretty much NWOBHM with melodic anthems and of powerful rhythm section. "Screaming Evil" is pretty fitting opener. (MS)
