Capturing the Kansai Scene Live: The ‘Heavy Metal Force II’ Compilation (EXP-HM-281)
Today’s entry dives into the heart of the mid-80s Japanese underground metal scene with the compilation LP “Heavy Metal Force II – Live At Explosion From Kansai,” released on the Explosion label with the catalog number EXP-HM-281.
Issued in 1985, this 12-inch vinyl is a crucial document, capturing the raw energy of the Kansai (Osaka/Kyoto area) heavy metal scene through live recordings made at the renowned live house, Explosion. Unlike studio compilations, this release offers an unfiltered glimpse into the power and atmosphere these bands generated on stage.
This live compilation is invaluable for preserving the sounds and intensity of these bands performing in their natural habitat. It highlights the talent brewing in the regional underground scene, offering a potent mix of classic heavy metal styles delivered with live fire. For collectors and enthusiasts seeking the authentic energy of 80s Japanese heavy metal beyond the major acts, EXP-HM-281 provides a vital and electrifying snapshot recorded directly from the source.
