Loudness - Thunder in the East

Genre: Metal

Never Change Your Mind

Who knew that if you took Japan’s preeminent screaming metal band and had them sing in english that they would become…Scorpions?
But with less song structure and a whole lot more wild, super fast lead guitar noodling. 
This, I think, was an attempt at cashing in on the metal scene and an opening Japanese market. What they could have used were…um…what’re they called…songs.
