The 12th studio album released by Tokyo Blade, a legend representing the N.W.O.B.H.M. scene, is here!

British metal heavyweights Tokyo Blade, who made a shocking debut in 1983, released their 2nd album ``Night Of The Blade''. They became the eye of the typhoon in the UK scene with ``, but they stopped their activities in 1988, and after a period of intermittent activity by each member, in 2007, they reunited with Andy Boulton (guitar) to perform at a festival and made a comeback to the scene, and in 2017, Alan Marsh (vocals) also returned completely, making all members original members. The 6th album (12th album in total) produced by the steadfast members since their reunion has arrived!

This album was also a collaboration between the core members, Andy and Alan, and was performed in Andy's private studio, and after a short gap of just one and a half years since their previous album ``Time Is The Fire'', it contains 14 magnificent songs that encompass the essence of Tokyo Blade! In particular, the title, ``Hoist the Colors High,'' which is a symbolic message that conveys the sadness and willpower of men who say ``I will die with my symbol (Pirate flag = way of life) held high until the end,'' functions as the band's statement, and the story line that can be said to be the true essence of Tokyo Blade's tough and dramatic N.W.O.B.H.M. is developed. Enjoy this classic British heavy metal masterpiece with its lyrical twin guitars and energetic sound!

Japanese edition bonus track, lyrics, and translation/Andy Boulton interview published!
