Rocktopia: Tokyo Blade - 'Thousand Men Strong' - CD Review

A Rocktopia / Fireworks Magazine album review by Duncan Jamieson: NWOBHM pioneers Tokyo Blade had been off the radar for about a decade before they released 'Live In Germany' in 2009 and now two years on sees them release their first studio album since 1995's 'Burning Down Paradise'. It's good timing as NWOBHM has been undergoing a renaissance over the last couple of years and this record is a triumphant return to form and apparent heir to their classic early records 'Tokyo Blade' and 'Night Of The Blade'. The record sees the introduction of ex-Domain singer Nicolaj Ruhnow. The classically trained baritone has the requisite chops and necessary menace and wails as evidenced on 'Condemned To The Fire' and 'The Ambush' to be a convincing NWOBHM frontman.
