Unleashing the Beast: X-Ray’s ‘Human Dog’ 12-Inch (12HS-5)
Today we spotlight another release from the classic era of Japanese melodic heavy metal band X-Ray. This is their 12-inch maxi-single, “Human Dog,” issued on Teichiku Records with the catalog number 12HS-5. This release includes an insert with bilingual lyrics.
Likely released in 1985 around the same time as their “Strike Back” album, this 45 RPM 12-inch vinyl offers a powerful, high-fidelity presentation of key tracks. Maxi-singles like this often served to highlight specific songs or provide exclusive versions for dedicated fans.
This three-track single features:
A1: Human Dog
A2: Fade Away
B1: Burnin’ Like The Fire (Long Version)
The A-side delivers two potent examples of X-Ray’s signature style – likely featuring soaring vocals, powerful riffs, melodic guitar solos, and a driving rhythm section. The B-side offers a special treat: a long version of “Burnin’ Like The Fire,” potentially extending the instrumental sections or adding extra verses, providing a unique take on the track.
12HS-5 is a valuable item for X-Ray collectors and fans of classic J-Metal. It captures the band’s polished and powerful sound on a high-quality format, featuring strong original tracks and an exclusive extended version, making it a desirable piece from their peak period.
