Hitting the Mark: Marino’s ‘Target’ (SP28-5099)
Today we spotlight another essential album from the classic era of Japanese heavy metal: “Target,” the second studio album by the powerful band Marino, released on SMS label with the catalog number SP28-5099.
Issued in 1984, this 12-inch vinyl LP followed their impactful debut, “Marino I,” further cementing the band’s reputation as a leading force in the burgeoning J-Metal scene. “Target” arrived during a period of intense activity and creativity within the genre in Japan.
The album continues to deliver Marino’s signature brand of high-energy, melodic heavy metal. Listeners can expect the powerful combination that defined their sound: soaring, high-pitched vocals, impressive twin-guitar harmonies and solos, a driving rhythm section, and anthemic songwriting filled with memorable hooks. “Target” showcases the band honing their craft, delivering a polished and potent collection of classic 8-Metal anthems.
SP28-5099 stands as a quintessential release from the golden age of Japanese heavy metal. For fans and collectors, “Target” is a highly regarded album that perfectly captures the power, melody, and energy of Marino during their peak.
