MARTY FRIEDMAN „Tokyo Jukebox 2 / Bad D.N.A.”
It is the great surprise! The French label sent me the limited edition double album of MARTY FRIEDMAN including two last releases of this legendary virtuoso of guitar. The majority of people knows his from MEGADETH.
GUILTYS LAW „Total Insanity”
Italian label Alkemist Fanatix Europe lengthened their tentacles not only beyond Italy, but beyond Europe. The co-operation with Japanese horde GUILTYS LAW is effect of this.

ENDZWECK „The Grapes of Wrath”
I have never before refered to the band from Japan, also I had never before get known Japanese music scene. In addition to a billion J-rock bands which slowly gain recognition in my country I am aware of several other awesome bands, metal bands for advance.
WIZARDS' HYMN „Transience”
The music of WIZARDS' HYMN I almost know from the beginning and I think that before I will pass to review I will write several words of introduction. All previous releases of this Japanese band oscillated round Neo-Classical Heavy Metal or Neo-Classical Power Metal.

BLACK MASQUERADE „Holy and Bright”
This next material of Japanese Power Metal horde fell in my hand. I noticed that in country of Blooming Cherry-tree's a music from under sign of Heavy/Power Metal is quite well.
AREA51 „Daemonicus”
AREA51 is next band from Japan what I had opportunity to hear. The band creates music under a sign of Neoclassical Power Metal.
BATHTUB SHITTER „Dance Hall Grind”
Bathtub Shitter is a Death/Grind band out of Japan and “Dance Hall Grind” is their second full length load of crap. HeHe.
WIZARDS HYMN „Hymnal”
WIZARDS HYMN is not strange for me because I know them earlier materials, and concretely the 3 demos from 2004 year. Them first full-length album entitled “Hymnal” mainly includes some tunes from demos, plus a bit novelty so I can boldly to say that the Japanese wizards follow appointed earlier route, that is sharply but very tunefully and nostalgically.
SIGH „Gallows Gallery”
Cool Songs: Pale Monument, The Enlightenment Day, The Tranquilizer Song, Midnight Sun, Messiah Plan.

WIZARDS HYMN „The Call From The Unknown”
The Call From The Unknown is the third material of Japanese heavy metal group with the female in front – Kimiko Shirao. This time the material contains 2 tunes, which following already usual route by the team.
WIZARDS HYMN „Wings Of Time”
“Wings Of Time” is the second material of Japanese heavy metal band. WIZARDS' HYMN follows the same musical path which they already selected on the previous material.
WIZARDS HYMN „Through the Wilderness”
Here the next heavy metal band from Japan as well as next Japanese band with girl. This is third, who I know.
TYRANT „Grimoires”
The Blooming Cherry-tree's country interested me from my childhood the Zen, the martial arts, the culture, movies and obviously the music Taiko Drums, Shakuhachi, KITARO and recently from several months I delight the Japanese Metal. The majority of Japanese bands what I listened was from under the sign of heavy metal and in majority of bands in band was woman.
SAEKO „Above Heaven Bellow Heaven”
My virtual trips in the land of blooming cherry-tree yielded fruit! Thanks to the good politeness and generosity of German label Armagedon Music I had the opportunity to meet with the music of SAEKO. SAEKO – it is mysteriously sounding name of band, there are hide: the beauty Saeko Kitamae – “The First Japanese Metal Princess” – she is vocalist, pianist and plays the keys.
PSYCHOTOBLACK „Psychotoblack – Demo#1”
The majority of Japanese hordes (which I know) play the power/heavy metal. However PSYCHOTOBLACK plays the little popular sort of metal, which define the sludge/doom metal.
PSYCHOTOBLACK „Demo#2”
This is the second material of Japanese doom-metal-maniacs. To reminder I will mark that the men their music name sludge/doom metal and this ideally fits to their music.
