Anthrax/Osaka,Japan 2005

Osaka in 2006 was the final stage for the “Golden Five”. Introducing an original recording that will be released for the first time in the world where you can witness that historic scene. What is infused into this work is the “October 16, 2006: Zepp Osaka” performance. This is a superb audience recording recorded at the memorable first “LOUD PARK” venue in Osaka. At that time, ANTHRAX brought back Joey Belladna/Dan Spitz and decided to reunite. The whole world was intoxicated by the revival of the Golden Age. This is also a good opportunity, so let’s look back on the entire activities of the first reunion era and check the show’s position. 2005《April Joey Belladna & Dan Spitz return》 ・April 29th – May 1st: North America #1 (3 performances) ・May 4th – 7th: Europe #1 (3 performances) ・5 May 12th to 18th: Australia (5 performances), May 21st to June 1st: North America #2 (3 performances) ← *Official ALIVE 2, June 9th to July 16th: Europe #2/ Puerto Rico (24 performances) September 6th – October 30th: North America #3 (35 performances) 2006 January 6th – 21st: North America #4 (13 performances) April 7th – 29th: Europe #3 (19 performances), June 30th – August 6th: North America #5 (32 performances), October 14th + 16th: Japan (2 performances) ←★Here★ 《Bella Donna & Spitz leave》This is the first era of reunion. After that, Joey is still at the front after passing through Dan Nelson and John Bush (second round), but Spitz, who left here, has not returned. As a result, the “Golden Five” who were all the rage in the 1980s were only together for about a year and a half. Even in such a “true reunion era”, the appearance on “LOD PARK 06” was at the end. Yes, this work was the last show by the “Golden Five”. This work recorded at such a historical site is truly a superb recording with “super”. After all, the person who worked on this work is “Western Japan’s Strongest Taper”, who is well known at our store. As his name suggests, he is a master among masters in western Japan… no, even by world standards, there is no one who can record HR/HM. If you are interested in this article, you have probably experienced more than one of the recordings by Mr. Saikyo. board” itself. Of course, this work also has plenty of that flavor and awesomeness. Although it may not be the best masterpiece now because it is in the early days of the “strongest” collection, it is still a super-excellent recording that is firmly pierced with the same “aesthetics of steel sound”. What is depicted with its strongest sound is the final brilliance of the true reunion. This day is also the first coupling with MEGADETH/DIO, so the running time is just under 50 minutes, but in that short time, the special songs are concentrated. Now, let’s organize this dense set. Original (5 songs)・Crazy Thrash Infection: Madhouse/Medusa・Among the Living: Caught In A Mosh/Indians/I Am The Law Cover (3 songs)・Got The Time (★)/Antisocial/Bring The Noise (★) *Note: Songs marked with “★” cannot be heard in the official work “ALIVE 2”. …and it looks like this. Two great albums “SPREADING THE DISEASE” and “AMONG THE LIVING” that are engraved in the souls of thrashers have been carefully selected to fill one side of the LP (5 songs), symbolizing the late Joey era with 3 major covers. This is a super concentrated selection of the best songs, on the verge of being boiled down and reduced to powder. And the performance that spells out that special set… there’s no need to put it into words. The ensemble, which toured the world for a year and a half, went beyond a simple reunion, and ran through the entire series without getting tired of the short time available. It is a tremendous live performance that lightly bounces back the heaviest historical fact of “the last of the golden five”. Don’t underestimate it as just a stocked audience recording. Superlative guest recording sound, ultimate best song selection, and heavy historical significance…This is ANTHRAX’s most important live album in every sense of the word. A truly world-class masterpiece from Japan. An absolute must-have for metal artists living in the modern era. A superb audience recording of the last night of the “Golden Five” performance “October 16, 2006 Zepp Osaka” with Joey Belladna & Dan Spitz. Mastered by our store’s well-known “strongest taper in West Japan”, the sound is extremely thick, close-fitting, and separate, making it “just like a soundboard.” This is a powerful and beautiful recording that is permeated with the aesthetics of steel sound. This is the most important live album where you can experience the ultimate set of “SPREADING THE DISEASE/AMONG THE LIVING concentration + 3 major covers” at the final performance of Spitz, who did not make a comeback worldwide.
