Island Arrival: Neverland’s Debut ‘Landing on Island’ (K28A-483)
Today’s entry focuses on the debut album from the notable Japanese hard rock band Neverland, titled “Landing on Island,” released on King Records with the catalog number K28A-483 with obi.
Issued in 1984, this 12-inch vinyl LP marked the arrival of Neverland onto the burgeoning J-Metal scene. Released on King Records (often through its Nexus imprint, a hub for Japanese metal), the album showcased the band’s powerful and melodic brand of heavy metal, characteristic of the era.
“Landing on Island” delivered a strong collection of tracks featuring soaring vocals, twin-guitar harmonies or skillful lead work, driving rhythms, and the catchy, anthemic songwriting popular within the genre at the time. The album holds significance not only as the band’s debut but also due to the talent within its ranks. Key members of Neverland would later go on to join other highly respected bands in the Japanese metal scene, making this debut a crucial piece in tracing the lineage of J-Metal musicians.
K28A-483 captures the youthful energy and musical ambition of Neverland as they made their first major statement. For collectors and fans of classic 80s Japanese heavy metal, “Landing on Island” remains an important debut, showcasing a talented band featuring musicians who would continue to shape the scene.
