We have been presenting here some of LOUDNESS remastered reissues released on occasion of their 35th Anniversary. Now, as part of the celebration, the band has re-recorded some of their classics with the current lineup titled “Samsara Flight“.
This 2CD Limited Edition (boxed with alt. artwork) includes an extra disc featuring also re-recorded songs but selected by their fans; “Fan’s Best Selection / We Are The Loudness”.
To celebrate their 35th Anniversary, Loudness members have chosen the songs from their very early albums to re-record with the present lineup and with the sound the band has in 2016; classics like ‘Devil Soldier’, ‘Burning Love’, ‘Street Woman’, ‘Angel Dust’, etc.
Additionally, Loudness asked their fans to select which songs they care as their favorites. The winning ones – 17 tracks in total – were re-done and included in this Limited Edition exclusively.
There’s hidden gems such as ‘Ares’ Lament’, ‘The Sun Will Rise Again’ or ‘S.D.I.’

“Samsara Flight / 2CD Limited Edition” (only released in Japan) is a great compendium of Loudness’ history, including well known songs and more obscure, ‘inside tracks’, reworked with the band’s present sound but pretty faithful to the originals, something I liked a lot.
More Loudness Anniversary releases coming soon.

This is such a great compilation album. Loudness is one of the greatest Japanese heavy metal exports, and despite their odd mid-period, they've come out of that stronger than ever before. Their first seven albums are a MANDATORY listen.
Another great band from Japan is Anthem. They're currently working on a new album, according to bassist Naoto Shibata.
Would you please re-up? Thank you!
