It is always a great pleasure to receive works from the land of the rising sun. This time is the turn for Black Masquerade a metal band from Japan. I don't know if you follow the underground scene from this country but i can assure you that they have some really good bands like Guiltys Law and Gorgon to name few. Before four - five months Black Masquerade released their debut album with the title "Spread your wings" and i am sure that these guys are ready to spread their wings in the mainstream heavy metal scene. Yoshihiro Nitta is the main composer and if i am not mistaken he has write all the songs from this album. But i am sure that he is a very talent guitar player and his ideas are really interesting. Also the singer Takashi Sakaguchi drives the whole project to the heaven with his very beautifull voice. Their compositions are well worked and as i said above with very interesting ideas and believe me if Black Masquerade were from Sweden now the whole Europe will talk for them. Also i am sure that if a band is really good and work hard then in the future they will have the results that they want. If you find their album somewhere don't make the mistake and not buy it, you will loose a very good piece of melodic power metal stuff.
