│║ Description : ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ LOUDNESS was formed in May 1981, after Akira ║ │
│║ TAKASAKI and Munetaka HIGUCHI left the Japanese ║ │
│║ pop band Lazy to explore heavier styles of ║ │
│║ music. Based on their early sound, it would seem ║ │
│║ that they wanted to become the "Van Halen" of ║ │
│║ Japan. Joined by the extremely capable vocalist ║ │
│║ Minoru NIIHARA (formerly from EARTHSHAKER) and ║ │
│║ Akira's childhood friend, Masayoshi YAMASHITA on ║ │
│║ bass guitar. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The band recorded their first album in Augiust ║ │
│║ 1981, and upon release, it quickly made it up to ║ │
│║ the top of the Japanese charts. It was clear ║ │
│║ that Japan was looking for hard rock, and ║ │
│║ LOUDNESS was the answer! The band toured Japan ║ │
│║ constantly, while pumping out ever more albums ║ │
│║ for their fans, until in 1984, they went ║ │
│║ overseas to record their fourth album- ║ │
│║ Disillusion. After recording, they toured ║ │
│║ Europe, thus gaining popularity on the ║ │
│║ international Metal scene. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ The band continued to tour throughout the United ║ │
│║ States and Europe until 1988, when Minoru ║ │
│║ decided to call it quits and pursue his own ║ │
│║ musical career. Determined to push on, Loudness ║ │
│║ continued searching for a replacement, which ║ │
│║ they found in American vocalist Mike Vescera ║ │
│║ (formerly of Obsession). With Mike's supersonic ║ │
│║ vocals, the band released two more albums, with ║ │
│║ some of the most amazing guitar solos that Akira ║ │
│║ had ever played. After a few years, Mike quit ║ │
│║ the band, and was quickly replaced with former ║ │
│║ EZO vocalist Masaki YAMADA's raw style. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ It was during this time that the band started ║ │
│║ exploring some new sounds, evolving their sound ║ │
│║ into a more basic, rhythmic expression combined ║ │
│║ with edgy, almost surreal vocals. While these ║ │
│║ albums didn't sound like much when stacked up ║ │
│║ against the operatic Loudness of old, the sheer ║ │
│║ power of their music had a tendency to grow on ║ │
│║ the listener. ║ │
│║ ║ │
│║ In 1999, Akira decided that it was time to have ║ │
│║ a reunion, and by 2001, the band had started ║ │
│║ recording together once again, twenty years from ║ │
│║ when they were born. Even though the original ║ │
│║ members are all back, Loudness retained much of ║ │
│║ the same raw sound borne of the Yamada years, ║ │
│║ and with this sound, they will continue their ║ │
│║ sonic assault well into the new millenium. ║ │
