Description

[Machine Translation] Japan's world-renowned guitar maestro, Island Stratomaster, has released his first solo album with a splendid lineup of guests! Although he has released two instrumental albums, "Concerto Moon" and the 4th "GATE OF TRIUMPH", this is his first solo album. This album is the first purely solo album, although he had previously released instrumental albums such as Concerto Moon and the 4th "GATE OF TRIUMPH." It is an album that shows glimpses of his roots, which he had never expressed as a band member, and is a perfect example of the world of Norifumi Shima, with blast tunes, super technical numbers, and even acoustic numbers. For the first time in his career, the album features a female vocalist, GI-NA, who has been active in bands such as Mercy Band. Masatoshi Ono, a barrier-free mix of metal and pop music, also joins the band. The bassist is Seishi Yamamoto ( Yasha ), the drummer is MAD Ouchi ( ex.ANTHEM ), and what cannot be overlooked as a guitarist's album is that Hideaki Nakama ( HURRY SCUARY ) and Reibun Otani ( Reibun Otani ), who have been respected by the guitarist, participate as guest guitarists. You can also feel the origin of Norihito Shima's guitar playing on "Guitar Zeus," a must-hear! JMETAL's instrumental masterpiece "To Die For", which was overwhelmingly highly acclaimed on the 4th album, is also newly recorded on this album.

Description in Japanese

FROM THE WOMB TO THE TOMB / 島紀史

日本が世界に誇るギターマエストロ島ストラトマスター、豪華ゲストを迎えた初のソロアルバム!! Concerto Moon、4thの「GATE OF TRIUMPH」というインスト主体のアルバムはあったものの純粋なソロアルバムとしては初となる今作。バンドとしては表現していなかった彼のルーツが垣間見える楽曲から、爆走チューンや超テクニカルなナンバー、さらにアコースティックなナンバーまでこれぞ島紀史ワールドというアルバムに仕上がっている。また今回は、彼のキャリアで初の試みとして、マーシーバンド等で活躍中の女性VoのGI-NAをフィーチャーした楽曲を制作。メタルとポップスをバリアフリーにした小野正利も参加。ベースは山本征史(夜叉)、ドラムはMAD大内(ex.ANTHEM)、そしてギタリストのアルバムとして見逃せないのは、リスペクトしてきた中間英明(HURRY SCUARY)と大谷レイブン(大谷令文)がゲストギタリストで参加している点。島紀史の源流も感じ取れるギターゼウス達の競演も必聴!! 4thで圧倒的に評価の高かったJMETALインスト最高傑作「To Die For」も新録で収録。
