Feeling the Danger: 44 Magnum’s Landmark Debut (MOON-28015)
Let’s spotlight the explosive debut album from one of Japan’s most iconic heavy metal bands, 44 Magnum. This is their first full-length album, “Danger,” released on Moon Records with the catalog number MOON-28015.
Issued on December 21, 1983, this 12-inch vinyl LP marked the powerful arrival of 44 Magnum onto the rapidly growing J-Metal scene. “Danger” immediately established their signature sound: a high-energy blend of hard rock swagger and heavy metal power, driven by catchy riffs, powerful drumming, and distinctively high-pitched, anthemic vocals.
The album unleashes a potent collection of tracks that became instant classics for fans of the genre. Songs like the explosive opener “I’m On Fire,” “No Standing Still,” and “Satisfaction” perfectly capture the band’s raw energy and melodic sensibilities, defining the early 80s J-Metal sound. The album came packaged with a 4-page picture/lyric insert, and some initial copies featured a large promotional sticker.
MOON-28015 stands as a foundational release in Japanese heavy metal history. “Danger” not only launched the successful career of 44 Magnum but also remains a quintessential example of the power and excitement brewing within the scene during that pivotal era.
