Ghost Of Romance +1 [SHM-CD]

For an little introduction, it must be said that at the time and currently, if you thought you heard all that rock and metal can give, you made a significant mistake. 'Dead End', the legendary phantom who is performing in the shadows of dark streets.. Yet, since this streets are there in every city, or even in the corner, we're unconsciously under the influence and with astonishment not understand from where it is coming from. They are in fact DNA of the music movement, for next generation's of musicians who tried to connecet, to experiment. One of them is their "son" 'Luna Sea' whose inspiration is clearly found here. Easily have been, and remained ahead of time, avant-garde mature band. Also with a factor of independence, just with desire to perform music, probably did not achieve the commercial glory as 'X Japan' or 'Loudness', but different side - normal group which has more influence on the future generation's music, and consideration as a legend's. That is why the name "Ghost of Romance" perfectly describes them. It is maybe their most accomplished album, with a vision of heavy metal. After you heared this album, you can almost proudly say "I heared everything the heavy metal eighties gave to us!". Each track is memorable, has it's own right to be remembered. "Danse Macabre", is just one of their most recognizable songs and not just in the heavy metal menu, beautifuly showing Minato's drumming skill's. Followed by another fantastic and agressive heavy metal beauty, "The Damned Thing". Then the sound is going more vibrant, none could be but, "Phantom Nation". This and the next following wonder "The Godsend" (my choice), is written by Morrie. Then comes recognizable sound of "Decoy" composed by Joe, followed by very amazing "The Red Moon Calls Insanity". Now in line is dark rockish energy of "Dead Man's Rock" written by Morrie, the third and last song of his on the record. Who could be now? This sound, this voice.. Must be brother of "Phantom Nation", the "Skeleton Circus"! If you truly judge, this two are the first and second best song on the record. With respect, sincerely.. The end belongs to wonderful "Song of a Lunatic", "It is a look into the abyss, the back of my head." commented Morrie. If you are collectors or anyone else who wants to travel to the heavy metal eighties, do not miss this high-fidelty opportunity.
