Crack 6, a solo project by Chisato the PENICILIN guitarist, will
release the long-awaited second album "Fight Without Frontiers"
on January 26 after the one-year interval. From this album, Chisato
has changed his credit to "MSTR (Mr)," and this shows his
genuine enthusiasm for this project. Don't take it lightly like, "It's
quite common for any band member to make a solo album." The sound
of Crack 6 totally depends on MSTR's powerful and heavy guitar.
The speedy and heavy sound combines the elements of various music
genres. Crack 6 fascinates the listeners with songs of MSTR, a talented
vocalist as well as a guitarist. His wild low voice is suitable not
only for intense shouting songs but medium tempo pieces and ballades.
"Fight without Frontier" features "Maneuver 6"
and "ROCKETEER" taking the motifs from surfing and drag
race. The new trial has deepened the album on the whole. "ROCKETEER,"
"Bang!," and "404" will be included. These were
used as theme songs in the film "Ohkami Shojo - Day After Tomorrow
-" directed by Jun Ohtaki aka GISHO, the PENICILLIN's bassist.
MSTR's fans may be familiar with a customary all-star song in his
solo work. This album, of course, includes it.
What style will it be this time? It's a great pity, if some people,
who only know MSTR's activities with PENICILLIN, have never listened
to his solo pieces. This CD is highly recommended for fans of heavy
metal and hard rock as well as mixture sound lovers.
