Charting the Course: Vow Wow’s Album ‘V’ (WTP-90491)
Today we explore another powerful chapter from Japanese hard rock veterans Vow Wow, focusing on their 1987 studio album, simply titled “V,” released on the Eastworld label (Toshiba EMI) with the catalog number WTP-90491.
This 12-inch vinyl LP marked the band’s fifth album under the Vow Wow moniker (and their tenth overall studio album, including their Bow Wow years). Arriving after the success of albums like “III,” “V” found the band further refining their distinctive blend of powerful hard rock and melodic, keyboard-infused heavy metal, a sound geared towards both Japanese and international audiences.
The album showcases Vow Wow operating as a cohesive and polished unit. Listeners can expect the signature elements that defined this era: soaring, powerful vocals delivered primarily in English, virtuosic and expressive guitar work, lush and atmospheric keyboard layers adding depth, and a dynamic, rock-solid rhythm section. “V” delivers a collection of expertly crafted melodic hard rock anthems, featuring strong songwriting and high-caliber musicianship, all wrapped in the polished production typical of major label releases from the late 80s.
WTP-90491 captures Vow Wow continuing their successful run, delivering high-quality melodic rock that solidified their status as premier figures in the Japanese scene while also making inroads internationally. “V” remains a strong representation of their sound during this important period.
