The legendary edition, which has received rave reviews from Etrian Odyssey enthusiasts/collectors as ``Priest's strongest audience recording'' and ``the best heavy metal commentary masterpiece'', has now arrived miraculously! I'm sorry that the meter suddenly went up. However, it is impossible to introduce this work to spirituality. After all, this work far exceeds the dimension of a single band "JUDAS PRIEST's masterpiece". This is a live album that will be a monument to both the music genre "heavy metal" and the audience culture "audience recording"! ……sorry. I'll really cool my head and introduce it properly from the beginning. What is permanently preserved in this work is the “September 13, 1984: Nippon Budokan” performance. Yes, it is a vacuum-packed transcendental audience recording of the performance in Japan that was held with the famous album “DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH”. Let's look back at that monumental tour and check the show's position.・September 6th: Miyagi Prefectural Sports Center ・September 7th: NHK Hall ・September 8th: Aichi Welfare Pension Center ・September 10th "METAL CONQUEROR IN OSAKA" ・September 13th: Nippon Budokan ←★Book Created by ★ [Callistic sound that shocked maniacs around the world] There are 5 performances in total. The Nippon Budokan performance of this work was the final stage of that performance, and was also the first Budokan performance for Steel God. Furthermore, Japan is the final performance location of Priest's ultimate tour "METAL CONQUEROR Tour", said to be the best in history. In other words, this work was the last show of the heyday. Although it is full of specials due to the existence of the show, the true value of this work is not there but in the sound. This is an original sound source that was discovered through our own route in 2010, but this is amazing. In one word, it can be said that it is ``like a sound board'', and as usual, I can also say things like ``extremely thick core...'', ``detailed details...'', and ``zero distance close contact...'' I can do it. However, that doesn't give you an idea of the true greatness of this work. Well, it's incredibly clear, and it's like an FM broadcast. But that's not the case. The realism of the roaring applause and cheers, the lustrous beauty of every drop of audience noise, the performances and vocals that are powerful enough to overwhelm everything, yet coexist in the same space... What can I say, it goes beyond just "good sound" and seems to emit an aura from the speakers. And this sound knocked out collectors all over the world. There was a lot of praise, with people saying, ``I've never heard an audience like this before'' and ``This is the best in all of Priest's history.'' [The ultimate set linked with the famous album and Chiakiraku's great performance] However, no matter how good the sound is, if the show is bad, it cannot be called a "masterpiece". The show drawn with charismatic sound in this work is also a miraculous product. In the first place, the reason why the “METAL CONQUEROR Tour” is called “the best tour” is because of the extremely special set. This is a good opportunity, so let's organize it here. Immoral Code (8 songs + α)・Love Bites/Jawbreaker/Some Heads Are Gonna Roll/The Sentinel/Rock Hard, Ride Free/Night Comes Down/Heavy Duty/Defenders Of The Faith/Freewheel Burning British Steel (4 songs)・Grinder/Metal Gods/Breaking The Law/Living After Midnight Others (7 songs + α) ・Wings of Fate: Victim Of Changes ・Gate of Betrayal: Sinner ・Murder Machine: The Green Manalishi (with the Two-Pronged Crown)/Hell Bent For Leather・Golden Spectrum: Desert Plains・Cry of Revenge: The Hellion/Electric Eye/You've Got Another Thing Comin'...and so on. A full show featuring all songs from "DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH" except "Eat Me Alive". ``DEFENDERS OF THE FAITH'' itself is a symbolic work of heavy metal, but what is more important than that is ``the confidence to go that far.'' The band, which normally only releases a few new songs, has performed almost all of them, and we feel that the performance and audience reception has been positive. It's not just the number of good songs, it's the boldness that could only be possible in their heyday that dazzles. And even on such a climax tour, this work will be a masterpiece all over the world. It goes without saying that ``UNLEASHED IN THE EAST'' is an example, but Japan was the first country in the world to recognize JUDAS PRIEST, and the excitement of seeing the hospitality of the Japanese people who had suffered a five-year ban was through the roof. What's more, when it's the last day, you don't have to worry about how you'll do tomorrow, and even if you scream until your throat is crushed, you'll have a day off. The courage that such a situation produced is amazing, and all the songs are truly full-throated. There is no way this will turn out to be a bad show. A glorious mood at its peak, an extremely bold set, a passionate performance that only Chiakigaku can offer, and a charismatic sound...this is truly a miraculous live album where everything comes together. There is certainly an ultimate full sound board in “METAL CONQUEROR Tour”. But that's not the point. For example, BLACK SABBATH's "LONG BEACH ARENA 1975" left behind by Mike Millard. For example, IRON MAIDEN's "TOKYO 1981 1ST NIGHT", in which the famous Kinney recorded his first encounter with Japan. Even if the definitive soundboard remains on the same tour, there are audience recordings that receive even more praise. This work is also the JUDAS PRIEST edition. Repeat. The horizon on which this work stands goes beyond being a ``one-band masterpiece'' and is a monument to the musical genre ``heavy metal'' and a monument to the culture of ``audience recording.''
