Charting a New Path: Anthem’s ‘Gypsy Ways’ (K28P710)
Today we focus on Japanese heavy metal veterans Anthem and their pivotal fourth studio album, “Gypsy Ways,” released with the catalog number K28P710.
Issued in 1988 on the Nexus label (King Records), this 12-inch vinyl LP marked a significant moment of transition for the band. Most notably, “Gypsy Ways” was the first album to feature the band’s powerful new vocalist, introducing a different dynamic following the departure of their original singer after the previous live album.
Despite the crucial lineup change, the album resolutely delivered Anthem’s signature brand of high-energy, traditional heavy metal. It’s packed with the elements fans expected: blistering guitar work, intricate and driving basslines anchoring the sound, powerful drumming, and soaring, anthemic vocals – now delivered with a fresh voice and style leading the charge. “Gypsy Ways” proved the band’s enduring strength and musical vision.
K28P710 is a crucial album in Anthem’s discography. It stands as a testament to their ability to successfully navigate a major lineup change while continuing to forge high-quality, powerful heavy metal, setting the stage for their next successful chapter.
