A truly iconic 7-inch single from Japanese hard rock legends Earthshaker is the focus for this entry. We are looking at their 1984 release, “More,” issued on the Nexus label (King Records) with the catalog number K07S-7046.
Released on June 5, 1984, this 45 RPM single was a key release for the band. The A-side, “More,” was a single cut from their classic second album, “FUGITIVE,” which had been released a few months prior.
The single features two tracks:
A: More
B: Shiny Day (Live Version)
The A-side, “More,” stands as one of Earthshaker’s most important and representative early songs. It’s praised by fans as a perfect expression of the “coolness” of Japanese rock and metal. The track is known for its serious, tense guitar introduction, which builds into a grand musical backdrop for the incredibly melodic vocals. Its memorable lyrics (famously including the line “holding a knife…”) and perfect balance of heavy rock and pure melody made it an instant classic.
The B-side offers fans a special live version of “Shiny Day” (another track from “FUGITIVE”), capturing the band’s powerful stage energy. K07S-7046 is an essential release, featuring one of the all-time great J-Metal anthems.
