Stryper/Kanagawa,Japan 2.10.2019

The second fastest release from the latest arrival in Japan that just ended! This visit to Japan was limited to two Club Citta performances, but this week, those two performances will be completely recreated in a sister production. This work is a super-excellent audience recording of the second day “February 10, 2019: Club Citta Kawasaki” performance. [Transcendental sound that goes beyond the dimension of a guest record] It was introduced only two days after the live performance, but it is not a matter of whether it is early or bad, in fact, it is an extremely high quality that stands out even among the latest recordings in Japan! As mentioned in the simultaneous release of the first day “KAWASAKI 2019 1ST NIGHT”, this sister work was recorded by the master craftsman “Western Japan’s Strongest Taper”. He is a master of masters who is always praised as “like a soundboard” and “the sound is better than what I heard on site,” but these two works are among the highest in his collection. In fact, this work can only be thought of as a sound board. The extremely thick core, like rough rope, comes straight to you, and the details are as if you were looking at the fibers of the rope through a microscope. The most overwhelming thing is the close and direct feeling. Audience recording/soundboard recording is distinguished by the sense of distance of the tone and reverberation, but this work feels like zero distance at all, and you can’t even tell the time lag in which the sound is transmitted. On top of that, there is no surrounding audience noise. Of course, you can hear the excitement of the scene, but it is far far away and smaller than the sound of the performance. It’s a sound that synchronizes with the band sound as if you were standing between the members. This is the cutting edge sound for the 2019 audience because he is the “strongest” guy who is always busy upgrading the latest equipment. [A very special show that condenses the initial trilogy] The show drawn with the best sound is also the best. This time, the two performances in Japan have different concepts. Here, let’s summarize the contents of the second day. ・SET 1: Complete reproduction of “LIVE IN JAPAN” ・SET 2: Complete reproduction of “TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL”… It consists of two parts. This work is a 2-disc set, each completely recorded on one disc. This configuration is too amazing. The first part is a complete reproduction of the official video “LIVE IN JAPAN” that included the first visit to Japan, but the contents are “5 songs from the debut EP + 6 songs from the 1st album”. It is a concentrated reduction of the early heavy metallic masterpieces. And what follows is a complete reproduction of the 2nd album, which is a major masterpiece. In other words, the world of the Golden Trilogy “THE YELLOW AND BLACK ATTACK”, “SOLDIERS UNDER COMMAND”, and “TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL” is fully exposed (only the last encore is the new song “God Damn Evil”). ”). This concentration is not bad. In fact, the reproduction of “LIVE IN JAPAN” is the same as the first day, and the reproduction of “TO HELL WITH THE DEVIL” was already performed in 2016. At first, I thought it would lack newness, but when I actually heard it, I was overwhelmed by its ultra-purity. Moreover, the performance has been updated to be modern, and Michael Sweet’s singing voice is better on the second day. We have introduced many live albums on STRYPER so far, but none as thorough and “deep” as this one. You can fully experience it with transcendental sound… The commemorative feeling of the Japan performance and the special feeling of the fastest release are no longer relevant. As an HR/HM album, it is a special piece of music that shines fiercely. dark. Too rich. The first part revives the first visit to Japan, the second part features live performances of major works, and the world of the Golden Trilogy is created by combining them. And all of this is a live album that depicts the sound that embodies the cutting edge of 2019. I think there are many people who want it as a souvenir of their visit to Japan, but this is not the dimension that this work stands on. This alone is a masterpiece that shines in STRYPER’s history, and when combined with “KAWASAKI 2019 1ST NIGHT”, you can completely collect “Japan in 2019”. A transcendent sister work that blows away the shock of the fastest release. Live at Club Citta, Kawasaki, Japan 10th February 2019 ULTIMATE SOUND(from Original Masters) Disc 1 (51:41) 1. Intro. 2.
