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 collection!! “HELLISH ROCK” came to Japan in 2008 and 2013, but this work is the second time. A live album recorded in days. This is the best audience recording of "June 9, 2013: Matsushita IMP Hall Performance". As with the explanation for the sister work "OSAKA 2008," let's take a look back at the two episodes of 2008 and 2013 and check their position. 2008, February 8th: Fukuoka DRUM LOGOS, February 9th: Hiroshima Clive Quattro, February 11th “OSAKA 2008”←*Sister work, February 12th: Nagoya Diamond Hall, February 14th: 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: Matsushita IMP Hall ←★Book Made★・June 10th: Zepp Nagoya, 11 performances in total. Although the concerts were both held in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, the dates were a bit unusual as they did not have the same venue. In any case, this work recorded at “Second Osaka” is truly the best sound. Like its sister work "OSAKA 2008", it is a work by "Mr. West Japan's Strongest Taper", but in terms of quality, this work is even better. As of 2008, you could still enjoy the direct feeling that marked the "strongest", but at the same time it was still in the process of development. However, this work is five years later, and the “strongest sound” has been rapidly completed. Its growth is reflected in its stability and beauty. The sound image is stable and unwavering, while retaining the strengths of Mr. "Strongest", such as the sense of closeness between the core without distance, and the magical mood where you can absorb the grand chorus spectacle without hearing nearby voices. does not cause overpeak even if you strum with all your might. The driving riffs and repeated hits of the bass drum have clear outlines down to the last grain, and the soaring phrases extend beautifully. On the other hand, the subtle synths can be felt in detail, and even when the chorus is in full swing, the elegant balance remains undisturbed. The “strongest sound” that is relevant today has been established. And even more delicious than that sound is the full show of both men, which has changed from 2008. Normally, I would refer to the official live version or the representative sound board, but this time, the real thrill is to listen and compare the showdown tour, so let's organize the set while comparing it with sister works. DISC 1: GAMMA RAY・Shugoshinden-Chapter 1-: Future World (*)・Say No More: The Spirit・Somewhere Out in Space: Men, Martians And Machines・Power Plant: Anywhere In The Galaxy /Send Me A Sign (*)・No World Order: Dethrone Tyranny・To the Metal: Empathy/Rise/To The Metal・Master of Confusion: Master Of Confusion/Empire Of The Undead DISC 2- 3: HELLOWEEN - Guardian Legend - Chapter 1 -: I'm Alive - Guardian Legend - Chapter 2 -: Eagle Fly Free (*) / Dr. Stein (*) - Master of the Rings: Where The Rain Grows Time of the Oath: Steel Tormentor/Power Rabbit Don't Come Easy: Hell Was Made In Heaven 7 Sinners: Are You Metal? Straight Out Of Hell: Nabataea/Straight Out Of Hell/Waiting For The Thunder/Burning Sun/Live Now!/Hold Me In Your Arms DISC 3: Co-star jam medley; Halloween/How Many Tears/Heavy Metal (Is The Law)・I Want Out (*) *Note: Songs marked with an asterisk (*) overlap with the sister work “OSAKA 2008.” ...and it looks like this. Normally, I mark rare songs that can't be heard anywhere else, but this time it's the opposite. I put an asterisk (*) on songs that are duplicates of the sister work "OSAKA 2008." In other words, while playing such a huge number of songs, the only ones that are duplicated are the 5 classic songs that you can't miss. This work and "OSAKA 2008" are not only two "HELLISH ROCK" songs that can be heard in the same recording artist's collection, but also a treasure trove of great songs. Moreover, it is valuable compared to the official live album. GAMMA RAY recently had “SKELETONS & MAJESTIES LIVE”, but new songs such as “Master Of Confusion”, “Empire Of The Undead”, “Empathy” and “To The Metal” cannot be heard there. Even in the HELLOWEEN version, you can enjoy plenty of numbers not found in "THE LEGACY WORLD TOUR 2005/2006" such as the new songs of "STRAIGHT OUT OF HELL", the initial medley, "I'm Alive", "Are You Metal?", etc. . A set full of the finest direct sounds and rare songs, a showdown tour, and a fun performance encore. This is a masterpiece live album that is absolutely inevitable in every possible way. And by combining it with "OSAKA 2008", you can observe two coupling tours from a fixed point. A peerless sister work that is unique in the world. The second sister release of the coupling tour HELLISH ROCK. This is the best audience recording of "June 9, 2013: Matsushita IMP Hall Performance". Like the sister work "OSAKA 2008", it was created by the master "Western Japan's Strongest Taper", and it is a miraculous masterpiece recording with a strong sense of closeness between the core without distance, and a grand chorus spectacle with no nearby voices even though you are breathing in. It also has a great sense of stability and a glossy shine that does not cause overpeak. Other than the five standard songs, the set is completely different from "OSAKA 2008" and is delicious, and it is a 3-disc set that allows you to experience the best full show that you can expect from a showdown tour.
