A sonic broadside from Japanese heavy metal legends Loudness is the focus for this entry: their 2005 maxi-single, “The Battleship Musashi.” Released on August 17, 2005, via the Japan Record / Tokuma Japan Communications label (catalog number TKCA-72891), this CD captures the reunited classic lineup in full-throttle mode.
Produced by the band themselves and recorded at Paradise Studio, this maxi-single delivers a heavy, powerful, and technically brilliant assault. The release features four potent tracks:
1. The Battleship Musashi
2. Wolfgang Amadeus
3. More Than Machine (Instrumental)
4. The Battleship Musashi (Battle Mix)
The title track, “The Battleship Musashi,” famously served as a theme song for a K-1 Fighter, perfectly matching its aggressive, powerful sound. The single showcases the classic lineup of Minoru Niihara (vocals), Akira Takasaki (guitar), Masayoshi Yamashita (bass), and Munetaka Higuchi (drums) firing on all cylinders.
TKCA-72891 stands as a powerful statement from Loudness’ 2000s era, showcasing their enduring power and connection to fighting sports culture. The single was originally issued in a j-card case and included a special sticker.
