About This Item
- Details
- Genre: Heavy Metal
- Description: Four CD set. Brand new all-encompassing compilation from British metal institution Tokyo Blade, featuring classic tracks, a rare live set and a full disc of completely unreleased songs. CDs 1 & 2 cover multiple eras of the band, from their beginnings as one of the leading acts of the NWOBHM movement, right up to the present day. CD3 features a rare early live set, captured in all it's raw and rough edged glory, at the Earthquake Festival, Holland in 1984. CD4 includes a whopping 14 unreleased songs, personally curated by Andy Boulton from his enormous archive of unused Blade material. Hailing from Wiltshire, and formed in 1982, Tokyo Blade were initially considered part of the NWOBHM scene but quickly outgrew the tag, enduring over the course of 14 studio albums and 5 EPs. Producing genuine early classics such as their self-titled debut and follow up 'Night of the Blade', the band went through multiple line-up changes over the years and yet continued to enjoy the support of the metal community and diehard fans across the globe. 'Beware The Blade' includes brand new contemporary interviews with band leader Andy Boulton and longtime Blade vocalist and songwriting partner Alan Marsh, conducted by NWOBHM historian and author John Tucker. The booklet also includes rare photo material from the band's personal archives. Album Tracks 1. Midnight Rendezvous 2. Mean Streak 3. Powergame 4. Death on Main Street 5. If Heaven Is Hell 6.
