Band:Tokyo Blade
Genre:NWOBHM
Album:Night of The Blade (1984)
Tokyo Blade is an English heavy metal band, active since 1982.
Tokyo Blade is one of the many acts considered part of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal (NWOBHM) movement from the late 1970s / early 1980s.
Tokyo Blade went through many changes of formation and disbanded twice, often changing their musical style during the years of activity.
However, the band is still active today, with three of the original members in the line-up.
Night of the Blade is the second studio album released by the British heavy metal band Tokyo Blade on Powerstation Records in 1984.
It is the first Tokyo Blade album with Vicki James Wright (Vic Wright) on vocals.
He replaced Alan Marsh when the vocal tracks for the album were already completed, forcing him to re-record the lead vocals in a very short time.
Marsh's backing vocals remain on the album. The original vocal recordings by Alan Marsh were released in 1998 in the album re-issue Night of the Blade...The Night Before.
