Over 35 years of heavy metal! Champagne! As contenders to the throne of Japanese metal kings, Anthem proved their competence and longevity, but did not push Loudness aside. Their sound is somewhere between Loudness and Earthshaker, i.e. less incisive and potent than Loudness, with a more radio-friendly approach. There is amazing consistency in this discography and it is difficult to point out a much higher or much lower title. I would recommend No Smoke Without Fire, Domestic Booty or Hunting Time to get a first impression, or the two most recent albums with bigger production, but a less raw metal attack. From speed metal to traditional hard rock, always loaded with killer riffs, amazing solos and unbreakable rhythmic assaults, Anthem rocks til you drop! Heavy metalizer forever triplazer!
A FLAC download link of the Trimetallic release would be very welcome.
