HELLOWEEN & GAMMA RAY's coupling tour "HELLISH ROCK" was the pinnacle of melodic power metal and served as a guidepost for PUMPKIN UNITED. It has been decided that two original recordings will be released at the same time that will convey the performance in Japan! This is a sister work that allows you to fully experience Live in Japan twice in the same recording artist's collection!! "HELLISH ROCK" came to Japan in 2008 and 2013, but this work is a live album of the former. . This is a powerful audience recording of "February 11, 2008: Namba Hatch Performance". Anyway, first of all, the show position. This is also a good opportunity, so let's take a look back at the two issues of 2008 and 2013 and check the position of the sister works. 2008, February 8: Fukuoka DRUM LOGOS, February 9: Hiroshima Clive Quattro, February 11: Namba Hatch ←★This work★, February 12: Nagoya Diamond Hall, February 14: Tokyo Kosei Pension Hall・February 15th: Tokyo Welfare Pension Hall 2013・June 5th: Zepp Tokyo・June 6th: Yokohama BLITZ・June 7th: Shibuya AX・June 9th “OSAKA 2013”←*Sisters Written by: June 10th: Zepp Nagoya Total of 6+5=11 performances. Both of these sister albums are live albums from the Osaka performance. This work, recorded at such a scene, is a direct sound with a powerful and thick core approaching a straight ball. Anyway, the feeling of close contact with zero sense of distance is amazing. It absorbs real enthusiasm, and above all, it was given to me by the recording artist himself, so I'm sure it was the audience, but even when I listen to it with headphones, I can't feel the hall sound component, and it jumps into my ears without any time lag. The feeling is separate from the audience. What's more, there is a strange lack of nearby voices. Of course, since it's a live performance by the two giants of melodic power metal, the audience is singing loudly, but it's far more than the performance. The huge chorus does not block the extremely thick core. There is a reason why this work has such a great sound. After all, this work was created by a master who is well known in our store, ``Western Japan's Strongest Taper''. The "strongest man" at that time was in the early stages of his training, and to be honest, this work is not as lustrous as modern recordings. It's so powerful that it sometimes feels like a limiter at its peak. However, this sound board-like close feeling is definitely the “strongest Mr.” sound. Although it is rough-hewn, the scales of talent and unique aesthetics are firmly alive in this work. What is depicted in such a super direct sound is a serious showdown between brother bands that every metal fan has dreamed of. At that time, both of them released their official live albums "HELL YEAH! THE AWESOME FOURSOME" and "THE LEGACY WORLD TOUR 2005/2006", so let's compare and organize them here. DISC 1: GAMMA RAY ・Walls of Jericho: Ride The Sky ・Heading for Tomorrow: Heaven Can Wait (★) / The Silence ・Land of the Free: Rebellion In Dreamland ・Somewhere Out In Space: Valley Of The Kings/Somewhere Out In Space・Power Plant: Heavy Metal Universe/Send Me A Sign・No World Order: New World Order・Majestic: Fight・Land of the Free 2: Into The Storm /From The Ashes DISC 2-3: HELLOWEEN・Shugoshinden-Chapter 1-: Halloween/A Tale That Wasn't Right・Shugoshinden-Chapter 2-: March Of Time (★)/Eagle Fly Free/Dr. Stein, Dark Ride: If I Could Fly, Shugoshinden: New Chapter: The King For A 1000 Years, Gambling with the Devil: Final Fortune (★) / As Long As I Fall (★) / The Bells Of The 7 Hells (★) / Medley (★): I Can / Where The Rain Grows / Perfect Gentleman / Power / Keeper Of The Seven Keys DISC 3: Co-starring jam / Future World / I Want Out *Note: “★” The marked songs are songs that cannot be heard on the official editions ``HELL YEAH! THE AWESOME FOURSOME'' and ``THE LEGACY WORLD TOUR 2005/2006''. ...and it looks like this. The GAMMMA RAY edition overlaps a lot with the official live edition, but the HELLOWEEN edition includes a large amount of ``GAMBLING WITH THE DEVIL'', which was released after the live edition. Even more delicious is the 16-minute medley of famous songs. The arrangement of "Keeper Of The Seven Keys" after a series of famous songs from the Andy Deris era is a little forced, but perhaps because the original song has a medley-like structure, we arrive at it through one big chorus after another. The grand finale is also very moving. And after that, the long-awaited (?) co-starring time. They sing the major songs ``Future World'' and ``I Want Out'' composed by Kai Hansen. Today, we know about the more luxurious PUMPKIN UNITED, but we don't know about the scene of this work (lol). The sight of Kai and Vaikie standing side by side filled the scene with excitement, and the whole venue was singing along. The duet version by Kai and Andy is also valuable, but even more than that, it is a delicious live album with a sense of being present in the space of joy. HELLOWEEN and GAMMA RAY are the founders and champions of melodic power metal. This is a luxurious 3-disc set where you can enjoy the entire coupling show. PUMPKIN UNITED, which has achieved fusion, is of course wonderful, but it is even more exciting because it cuts down on the details, and you can enjoy a huge number of famous songs. A sister work that allows you to experience that special scene with super direct sound. The first sister release of the coupling tour HELLISH ROCK. This is a powerful audience recording of "February 11, 2008: Namba Hatch Performance". An early work by the master ``Western Japan's Strongest Taper'', a direct recording of a powerful and thick core approaching a fastball. In any case, the sense of close contact with zero sense of distance is strong, and the sound of the hall sound is not felt, and the feeling of jumping into the ear without any time lag is different from the audience. The energetic performances that you can expect from a showdown tour are wonderful, and the encore songs ``Future World'' and ``I Want Out,'' in which both performers perform together, are a great success. This is a gorgeous 3-disc set that allows you to fully experience the two giants of melodic power metal.
