The strangely-titled Heavy Metal Hippies finds Japanese metal institution Loudness searching for a foothold -- any foothold -- in the post-Nirvana alternative world, coming away with a modern metal sound somewhere between Pantera and Seattle. All things considered, they could have done a lot worse, but guitarist Akira Takasaki is obviously running on fumes here, resulting in a derivative, unfulfilling record which long-time Loudness fans will want to steer clear of. Now the band's last remaining original member (following the departure of founding drummer Munetaka Higuchi), Takasaki would, not surprisingly, finally give up the ghost after this album, taking three years off before resurfacing with the much improved Ghetto Machine. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia Heavy Metal Hippies Music Loudness Heavy Metal Hippies Songs | 1. | Howling Rain |

Purchase Heavy Metal Hippies CD To buy, Click on price to add to cart | Loudness Thunder In The East CD (1985)
Heavy Metal Hippies album
 $10.65   
Loudness was a Japanese hard rock quartet that had numerous hit albums in the 80's and early 90's. Thunder In The East reached number 74 on the Billboard charts in 1985. Wounded Bird. 2003.
With 1985's Thunder in the East, Loudness were faced with the daunting challenge of conquering heavy metal fans outside their homeland of Japan for the first time. Knowing that their early sound might prove a tad too heavy and complex for American audiences, the foursome rose to the occasion by dispensing their most melodic compositions ever. Yet, except for a few obvious examples, like "We Could Be Together," first single "Crazy Nights," and the power ballad "Never Change Your Mind," the band doesn't seem at all self-conscious about this transition. A few all-out headbangers like "Get Away" and "Clockwork Toy" are hammered out for good ...

Heavy Metal Hippies music CDs
$9.69 
Though it failed to equal the mostly novelty-based sales of Loudness' first internationally distributed album Thunder in the East, Lightning Strikes had handily managed to translate the band's Japanese-bred heavy metal into a more easily digestible recipe for Western audiences. Because this progress didn't translate into sales, however, their record company, Atco, felt the need to force the band's hand toward an even more pop-metal direction when it came time to record their next effort. Yet, while producer Max Norman's work on Lightning Strikes had merely served to trim the excess fat from Loudness' rather busy compositions, new hire Andy Johns would show no such restraint in his ...

The most important thing to know about 1999's N.W.O.B.H.M.: The Very Best of Dragster is that, unlike most similarly packaged retrospectives of the period, it does not in fact contain music from the band's original New Wave of British Heavy Metal. Rather, this is late-'80s material recorded by a significantly altered group of ...

| | Extol Blueprint Dives CD (2005)
Heavy Metal Hippies songs
$9.39 
After virtually reinventing themselves with their third full album, Synergy (which saw them abandoning much of their original death metal fury in favor of a more light-handed, rock approach), Norway's prolific Extol proceeded to clean house prior to recording their fourth, 2005's The Blueprint Dives. Two new guitarists were brought in to help realize their expanding ambitions, which here remain focused on applying technical arrangements and weird time signatures to predominantly cleaner sounds, but in many respects once again dove deeper into unprecedented realms of rule-breaking invention -- hence the title. Expect the unexpected is the wisest means of approaching this restless expanse of an album, where schizophrenic tracks like "Gloriana," "From Every Mountain Top," and "Essence" show vocalist Tor Glidje as likely to shyly croon as scream his lungs out (but never growl!) to the tune of his cohorts' fluctuating instrumental support, and occasional choral harmonies. To Extol's greatest credit, offhand comparisons to other ...
