Let’s explore an album from the Osaka melodic power metal scene: the second full-length album from Black Masquerade, “Holy And Bright.” Released in 2007 on Triumph Records (catalog number TRCDB-6), this CD captures the band’s signature sound. This particular copy is a promotional sample pressing and includes the original obi strip.
“Holy And Bright” delivers a high-quality slice of Japanese power metal. The 10-track album is defined by the genre’s best elements: a powerful combination of melodious and high-speed guitar playing, soaring high-tone vocals, and a driving rhythm section.
The album features a strong collection of tracks, including “Jack The Ripper,” “Free Forever,” “Follow Me,” and the epic “Hell’s Gate,” all showcasing the band’s skillful execution of melodic and powerful heavy metal.
TRCDB-6 stands as an essential release for fans of the 2000s Japanese melodic power metal scene, capturing the potent sound of this Osaka-based band.
