Under The Violet Tokyo [Regular Edition]

[Machine Translation] VIOLET ETERNAL, a rising star of power metal that brings together the best talents from Italy and Japan, is coming back to Japan for their first concert in sound and video! The band has released "Reload the Violet", which features songs with an outstanding sense of melody reminiscent of the golden era of STRATOVARIUS, the passionate high tones of Ivan Giannini, who is well known for his work with DERDIAN, and the guitarist of Mike Vesella, who worked with Yngvay Malmsteen and LOUDNESS. Violet Eternal, an allied force of Italian Japanese power metal, has taken the hearts of HR/HM fans by surprise with every element, including guitar solos by Jien Takahashi of MAJUSTICE, who has captured the hearts of fans as the guitarist for Mike Vesella, who worked with Yngvay Malmsteen and LOUDNESS. This live album is a complete recording of Violet Eternal's first Japan tour "Under the Violet Tokyo". This is the band's first ever live performance in Japan, and this memorable album captures the extraordinary passion of the fans and band members, and includes all 15 songs performed that night! The album features not only singer Ivan and guitarist Jien, but also bassist Ollie Bernstine, who plays in ILLUSION FORCE and FIVE RINGS, and guitarist Andrea Cappellari, whose first Japan tour with NEKOMATA is still fresh in the memory, as well as all the members who participated in the band's first album. The band members who participated in the first album, Andrea Cappellari, who is still fresh in your mind from the band's first visit to Japan with NEKOMATA, have come together to deliver a passionate performance with a power metal density 200% higher than that of the album! The most notable feature of the album is the Vocal Performance with guest keyboardist Rumina ( YURUTTO~! ). ) as a guest keyboardist, and the band performs "Angel Of Revenge," a classic song left behind by Ivan during the VISION DIVINE era. To top it off, "Now Your Turn" sung by Ivan with Kelly SIMONZ, known as a superb guitarist, is also included, making it a must-have for power metal fans. The album was sound produced and mastered by Dennis Ward, a German master who has worked with Helloween and Angra. The high quality sound, which is hard to believe that this is a live recording, makes it a must-listen!
