Capturing Live Fire: Marino’s ‘Hard And Rough’ (SM18-5421)
This entry focuses on a powerful live document from the classic Japanese heavy metal band Marino. We are looking at their 12-inch mini-album, “Hard And Rough,” released on SMS Records with the catalog number SM18-5421.
Issued on December 5, 1985, this vinyl release captures the band’s potent energy in a concert setting. Specifically, it was recorded live at the prestigious Japan Heavy Metal Fantasy festival held at Tokyo’s Hibiya Yagai Ongakudo (Hibiya Open-Air Concert Hall) on October 10, 1985. This event was a significant showcase for the J-Metal scene, making this recording historically important.
Produced by the band themselves, “Hard And Rough” delivers live versions of tracks drawn from their studio albums, including songs like “Rising,” “Brave As A Lion,” “Somebody To Love,” “Station,” and “From All Of Us, To All Of You.” It showcases Marino’s signature blend of powerful, melodic heavy metal – soaring vocals, impressive twin-guitar work, and a driving rhythm section – all amplified by the energy of a major festival performance.
SM18-5421 offers fans a taste of Marino’s formidable stage presence during their peak mid-80s period. For collectors and enthusiasts, it’s an essential live recording, documenting their performance at a key J-Metal event and capturing the raw power of their classic material.
