The year 2022 is shaping up to be hot... and the new album from Japanese heavy metal veteran LOUDNESS, titled 'Sunburst', is one of the reasons!!! LOUDNESS has dominated the Heavy Metal world since its formation in 1981 with essential albums like THUNDER IN THE EAST (1985) or LIGHTNING STRIKES (1986) and especially hits such as "Crazy Nights", "In The Mirror" or "Crazy Doctor" that made them one of the most promising Metal bands of the 80s. In 1985, they went on tour with Mötley Crüe and were the first Japanese to play at the famous Madison Square Garden in New York. The band is releasing this year its very first double studio album in 40 years of career, an opportunity to celebrate their rich history through 16 new tracks in the typical style of LOUDNESS.
