LOUDNESS - Live In Tokyo - 2CD [SEP 19]

2CD - Jewel Case. 

LOUDNESS have been dominating the worldwide heavy metal scene ever since their formation in 1981 with classic albums like “Thunder In The East” (1985) and “Lightning Strikes” (1986). Hits like “Crazy Nights”, “In The Mirror” and “Crazy Doctor” made them one of the most exciting Metal Acts in the mid 80’s and saw them touring with Mötley Crüe in ’85. Known for their virtuosic guitar work, high-energy performances, and fusion of Western metal with Japanese flair, LOUDNESS helped pave the way for Japanese rock and metal abroad. They were also the first Japanese band ever to play the legendary Madison Square Garden in New York!

In September 2018, the much-anticipated “METAL WEEKEND” was held at the iconic Zepp DiverCity Tokyo, a premier venue in Tokyo known for showcasing top-tier rock and metal acts. For four consecutive nights, LOUDNESS headlined the event, delivering powerful performances alongside special guest bands such as RIOT V and ANTHEM. Each night drew passionate crowds and was hailed as a major success, celebrating the enduring appeal of Japanese heavy metal. The live recordings from these concerts were captured on the 2019 release “Live In Tokyo”, presented across two discs. 

Disc one features a setlist inspired by LOUDNESS’s historic 1985 North American tour, revisiting the high-energy classics that helped them gain international fame. The set on disc two focuses on deeper cuts from the band’s early years, highlighting material from their influential third album, “The Law Of Devil's Land,” and their acclaimed fourth album, “Disillusion.” Together, these recordings capture the spirit of METAL WEEKEND and the timeless power of LOUDNESS’s music.
