Journey to the West: Ex Danger’s ‘Tyrant Into The West’ Mini-Album (TZ-001)
Today’s entry explores a piece of the Japanese underground heavy metal scene from the late 80s: the 12-inch vinyl mini-album “Tyrant Into The West” by the band Ex Danger, carrying the catalog number TZ-001.
Released in 1989 on the independent Night Gallery label, this 33 ⅓ RPM mini-album serves as a raw snapshot of the heavy metal and speed metal sounds emerging from the Japanese underground during that era. Night Gallery was known for releasing material from bands operating outside the major label system, often capturing a more intense and less polished energy.
This release features six tracks, offering a solid introduction to Ex Danger’s style.
Listeners can expect aggressive riffs, driving rhythms, and likely high-pitched or powerful vocals typical of the speed and heavy metal genres prevalent in the Japanese scene at the time. A six-track release like TZ-001 provides a more comprehensive look at the band’s capabilities compared to a shorter single, documenting their songwriting and performance style more fully.
For collectors of rare Japanese metal and those interested in the history of the indie scene, Ex Danger’s “Tyrant Into The West” mini-album is a significant find, preserving the raw sound and independent spirit of the late 1980s underground.
