TOKYO BLADE – Time Is The Fire (2025) *HQ*
Legendary act TOKYO BLADE will release their fourteenth studio album, ”Time Is The Fire”, set for release on January 17, 2025, through Cherry Red Records. Loaded with high-energy, anthemic Heavy Metal, it is full of furious, melodic guitar riffs that feed off a powerful vocal set of Alan Marsh that will make your jaw drop.
”Time Is The Fire” it’s a great re-introduction to Tokyo Blade if you have not been up to snuff with them through the decades. In fact, each song on the album sounds like something you would imagine rotated consistently alongside top Metal videos on MTV back in the 1980s.
Overall, there is not a dull moment to be had with ”Time Is The Fire”. Robust and in-your-face with a fantastic guitar tone, you can also follow a theme here: full of self-reflection and contemplation of a lifetime of decisions made. Hence the title ”Time Is The Fire”; in the end, we are all bound to be burned by the flame as grains of sand fall through an hourglass.
Well-structured, hooky, lively, and full of interesting details here, there, and everywhere, this album is Heavy Metal with melody the way it was intended.
