Radiant A

So happy that their music is finally on iTunes USA. They need to put their other albums on here as well. As for this album what can I say other then awesome ❤️

With the release of 'Radiant A' The band has reached a new level of success. Radiant A is the first full-length studio album with drummer Marina Bozzio. The band proves to remain at the forefront of a tremendous movement of all female rock/metal bands currently performing,recording and touring in the Tokyo / Osaka area. The album is full of dual lead guitar solos from Yoshi & Toki. The most commercial track for listeners in the U.S.A. seems to be 'Moment' ROCK!!

Do not fear the super pop single, "Die For You" becaue RADIANT A is full of the most savage, chunky riffage that Aldious has ever produced! RADIANT A does include some songs (3) that are specifically designed to chart on the Japanese pop charts - one of them being a remake of an anime theme called "Piece of my Wish", but then guitarist TOKI takes over with the bludgeoning riffs of "Sweet Temptation" and the equally blistering "One Way". The only thing that makes songs like these NOT sound like Black Label Society riffs is the mixing. For every step vocalist RE:NO (who sounds GREAT here!!) takes toward the pop side of things, the rest of the band (with TOKI leading the charge on this disc) leaps 10 steps towards the Power metal spectrum with progressions and riffs that demand re:peated listens to take their full coolness in. Varied and fun in the approaches to different songs, RADIANT A still stays true to Aldious' metal core.
