Consistent Powerhouse: Action!‘s ’Heart Raiser’ (28PL-96)
Revisiting the energetic output of Japanese hard rock band Action!, today we focus again on their fourth studio album, “Heart Raiser,” bearing the Philips catalog number 28PL-96 with obisticker on outer shrinkwrap.
Released in 1985, this 12-inch vinyl LP landed squarely in the middle of the Japanese heavy metal boom. Following up on their earlier albums, “Heart Raiser” reinforced Action!’s commitment to delivering potent, high-energy hard rock. The band had firmly established their sound by this point, known for powerful performances and straightforward songwriting.
“Heart Raiser” continues this trajectory, offering listeners a collection of anthemic rock tracks. Expect the driving force of heavy guitar riffs, a solid and pounding rhythm section providing the foundation, and the distinctive, powerful vocals leading the charge. This album captures the essence of classic 80s J-Metal – energetic, riff-centric, and designed for maximum impact.
28PL-96 showcases Action! as a reliable force within the scene, consistently delivering the hard-hitting rock their fans expected. “Heart Raiser” stands as another strong example of their contribution to the vibrant Japanese heavy metal landscape of the mid-1980s.
