The latest installment of HELLOWEEN's competitive live set series is here! The recently released "OSAKA 2008" and "OSAKA 2013" with GAMMA RAY have received great acclaim, but those sister works were actually a trilogy, not a double. A super powerful work of melody power coupling that fills the gap is born! This work was recorded at "February 27, 2011: Namba Hatch performance". This is a superb audience recording that completely records the coupling visit to Japan of two giants of melodic power metal, HELLOWEEN & STRATOVARIUS. The “HELLISH ROCK” tour with GAMMA RAY took place in 2008 and 2013, but HELLOWEEN came to Japan twice in between. In 2012, there was only one performance at Loud Park, but in 2011 it was a coupling tour with STRATOVARIUS. In other words, it looks like this↓.・2008: HELLOWEEN & GAMMA RAY ・2011: HELLOWEEN & STRATOVARIUS ←★This work★ ・2012: Participated in Loud Park 2012 (1 performance) ・2013: HELLOWEEN & GAMMA RAY Germany and Scandinavia, two major producers of European metal Gachinko of the top band. While it was a tour that connected the two “HELLISH ROCK”, it was also a super luxurious showdown tour that was even more so in a sense. This work records the Osaka performance, but let’s also check the schedule at that time.・February 20th: Zepp Sapporo ・February 22nd: Zepp Sendai ・February 23rd: Zepp Nagoya ・February 25th: Zepp Fukuoka ・February 27th: Namba Hatch ←★Here★ ・February 28th: Zepp Tokyo In total, 6 performances. It was a "no big deal" schedule, touring Zepp all over the country, with Osaka as an exception. This work recorded at such a show is of course the best audience. It is a treasured master of the same "Western Japan's strongest taper" as the double work with GAMMA RAY, but the sound is amazing all around. The venue is the same "Namba Hatch" as "OSAKA 2008", but the quality is close to "OSAKA 2013" and even clearer! The extra-thick core reaches your ears without any time lag through the clear air, and the details are super clear. Although the sound of the snare is engraved with evidence of audience recording, it is a masterpiece worthy of being called "just like a sound board" due to its clearness and direct feeling. Although the performance sound is soundboard-like, this work also has a fierce audience feeling. It was the audience chanting. After all, since the two biggest melody powers of our time are together, their singing is grand, magnificent, and explosive! However, if you imagine an annoying recording of close-up voices, that is not the case. This is also a characteristic of the "strongest man", but there are no cheering or talking voices nearby. Although the gigantic singing voice is loud and clear, it feels like it's boiling over the thick performance and vocals. While loving the sound and feel of metal, he also firmly inherits the ``secrets of audience recording'' that various recording artists have accumulated since the 1970s. The sound that can only be achieved by the ``strongest'' man who has both a research background and a metal soul is at its full potential. The legendary sound depicts a melopower paradise where two giants stand side by side. Let's organize the set by comparing STRATOVARIUS with the most recent official release ``UNDER FLAMING WINTER SKIES'' and HELLOWEEN with its sister releases ``OSAKA 2008'' and ``OSAKA 2013.'' DISC 1: STRATOVARIUS・Episode: Speed Of Light/Forever (★)・Visions: The Kiss Of Judas/Legions (★)/Black Diamond・Infinite: Hunting High And Low・Polaris: Deep Unknown・Elysium: Darkest Hours/Infernal Maze (★)／Under Flaming Skies *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard on the official edition “UNDER FLAMING WINTER SKIES”. DISC 2-3: HELLOWEEN / Shugoshinden - Chapter 1 -: I'm Alive / Future World (★) / Shugoshinden - Chapter 2 -: Eagle Fly Free / March Of Time / I Want Out (★) / Dr Stein・Time of the Ous: Forever And One (Neverland) (★)・Better Than Law: A Handful Of Pain (★)・7 Sinners: Are You Metal?/Where The Sinners Go (★) /World Of Fantasy (★)・Midley (★): Keeper Of The Seven Keys/The King For A 1000 Years/Halloween Shades 1410)”. ...and it looks like this. STRATOVARIUS, which is like a concentrated version of "UNDER FLAMING WINTER SKIES", is also special, but HELLOWEEN is even more overwhelming. The other day's "OSAKA 2008" and "OSAKA 2013" had a completely different set, but this work in between is also packed with 5 songs that can't be heard in both works. What's more, it's not just rare songs; most of them are accompanied by a huge chorus. Just how many famous songs does he have? Furthermore, this work also has the customary medley called ``Shugojinden Digest.'' The selection “Keeper Of The Seven Keys/The King For A 1000 Years/Halloween” is the same as “The Keeper’s Trilogy” of “UNARMED”, but the arrangement is different and of course electric. The approximately 16 minutes that summarizes the essence of the three major songs is more natural and dynamic than the usual medley, and it is a result that I would like to see recorded in the studio as it is. This work is a 3-disc set packed with famous songs from two of the biggest names in history, but this medley alone is more than worth it. In contrast to ``OSAKA 2008'' and ``OSAKA 2013,'' in which the brother bands competed against each other, this work is a ``meropower summit battle.'' This is an unparalleled trio of sister works that allows you to see these three Osaka performances in a masterpiece collection. Among other great recordings, this second daughter's album stands out in terms of the beauty of its sound and the density of its masterpieces. "February 27, 2011: Namba Hatch performance" where two giants of melodic power metal performed together. This is the best audience recording. The sound produced by the well-known ``strongest taper in Western Japan'' has a very thick core that reaches your ears without any time lag in a transparent atmosphere, and the details are super clear. Although the sound of the snare is engraved with evidence of audience recording, it is a masterpiece worthy of being called "just like a sound board" in terms of its clarity and direct feel. The show, in which the two major bands competed, was a huge chorus festival, and HELLOWEEN also performed a ``Shugoshinden medley'' called ``Keeper Of The Seven Keys/The King For A 1000 Years/Halloween.'' This is a 3-disc set where you can fully experience a night of melopower bliss with the best sound.
