Review Type:
Blaze, not be confused with the once Wolfsbane, Iron Maiden, and Blaze main man Blaze Bayley, no sir no, these 4 youngsters hail from Japan, and with the EP the rock dinosaur they provide us a really good slab of very old school hard rock/ Metal, in this case not so much influenced by the known NWOBHM stars of the early 80 ear like Maiden, Saxon or Priest, but rather influenced by UFO, old scorpions and MSG.
Listening to tracks like “ one way flight” or “ Underground Heroes “ ,brings a big smile to this old men’s face….. Superberb riffing and leads , and a good vocal performance by Wataru Shiota. Overall a real nod to the old school….. I want more …
85/100
