SEIKIMA-II 1999 secret object 07SH2022

A 1987 single from Japan’s demonic heavy metal legends Seikima-II is the focus for this entry. We are looking at their 7-inch single, “1999 Secret Object,” released on the Fitzbeat label (CBS/Sony) with the catalog number 07SH-2022 FB.

Issued on November 21, 1987, this 45 RPM vinyl captures the band’s classic lineup, featuring Sgt. Luke Takamura III on guitar (who composed the music for the A-side).

The single features two tracks:
A: 1999 Secret Object
B: 地獄への階段（完結編） (Jigoku e no Kaidan – Final Chapter)

The A-side, “1999 Secret Object,” is a powerful arena rock anthem, perfectly showcasing the band’s signature blend of heavy metal, melodic hooks, and Demon Kogure’s unmistakable vocals. The B-side offers a “final chapter” to their “Stairway to Hell” theme.

07SH-2022 FB stands as an essential 7-inch from Seikima-II’s classic 80s period, capturing their powerful sound and unique worldview. The release originally came with a picture/lyric insert and a CBS/Sony company sleeve.
