Tokyo Blade were one of the classic bands from the NWOBHM movement, and because they came a little late into the scene they’re often one of the most forgotten and underrated bands. “Night Of The Blade” is, for most fans, their finest moment.
This album has it all. It really rocks with a sound & style pretty similar to Def Leppard circa High ‘N’ Dry all over the place. Tokyo Blade are heavier but very melodic and catchy the same. The quality is outstanding for the genre with songs like ‘Someone to Love’, the awesome ‘Love Struck’, the heavy ‘Unleash the Beast’ and the title track, where the band shows their ability to create great and memorable songs.
Each of the songs here has that undeniable energy that you just can’t fake, with some catchy riffs and shout along choruses you want to hear again and again.
The musicians are some of the best from the ’80s London scene. Starting with the new singer (at the time) Vic Wright, a vocalist full of character and power. The guitar tandem of Andy Boulton and John Wiggins has nothing to envy from anyone – they make great riffs and terrific solos as if it’s the easiest thing in the world.
The rhythm session made of Andy Wriggton (bass) and Steve Pierce (drums) complements the band very well with a steady backbone. But they don’t just do the job, each man provide masterful work that makes the songs significantly better.
Back in the day the release of “Night Of The Blade” was delayed because previous vocalist Alan Marsh left the band when they finished the pre-production takes. The band needed to start from the scratch, and while the final results on “Night Of The Blade” were really good, they lost momentum.
This remastered reissue delivers a clear sound, and adds four bonus tracks.
