Product Description

Digitally remastered and expanded edition. Originally forming in Malmo, Sweden in 1978, Silver Mountain were very much influenced by Deep Purple, Judas Priest, the New Wave Of British Heavy Metal, but especially Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow, from where the band took their name. Fundamental to the birth of classically inspired symphonic hard rock and heavy metal, a scene that also gave the world Yngwie J. Malmsteen and Europe, they evolved around lead guitarist Jonas Hansson. Although their vinyl debut was 1979 single 'Man Of No Present Existence' b/w 'Axeman And The Virgin', they wouldn't record a full length LP until the highly influential, cult debut Shakin' Brains in 1983, featuring future Yngwie members Jens and Anders Johansson, followed by Universe (1984), eventually releasing Roses & Champagne in 1988. Although effectively splitting up after the release of Roses & Champagne, the band reunited their classic Shakin' Brains line-up of Jonas Hansson (Guitars & Vocals), Jens Johansson (Keyboards), Per Stadin (Bass) and Anders Johansson (Drums) for 2001's acclaimed reunion CD, Breakin' Chains. As well as revisiting debut 45 'Man Of No Present Existence' and 'Axeman And The Virgin', this version includes the previously Japan only bonus track, 'Resurrection'. This reissue includes live bonus tracks recorded September 4th, 2010 at Friluftsteatern, Malm, Sweden, and appear on CD for the first time, including otherwise unavailable versions of 'Shakin' Brains', 'Maniac' and 'Universe'.

投稿日:2012/12/31 (月)

デモテープでのみ製作されたデビュー当時の曲をオリジナルメンバーでリレコーディングした企画モノ。1stと曲の被りがなく、当時彼らのロックに心を震わせたオールドファンにはたまらない一枚。これ一枚と言わず、オリジナルメンバーで1stのリレコーディングや新作も出して欲しかった。

投稿日:2006/02/17 (金)

“SHAKIN’ THE BRAINS”(’84)時の黄金メンバーでの一時的再編。NWOBHM経由の北欧メタル黎明期のB級サウンドは、’80s初頭のマテリアルが中心。MAN OF THE 「SILVER MOUNTAIN」=ギタリスト、ヨナス・ハンソンの意地が見えるゾ。

投稿日:2001/07/06 (金)

北欧メタル好きには堪らないメンツでの復活盤。楽曲はまあまあだがこの伝説のバンドがオリジナルメンバーで再結集しただけで十分!
