Taka Minamino 2nd record "Blood Rain" is now on iTunes!
(セカンドアルバム"Blood Rain" iTunesで先行発売!)

Message from Taka
皆さん、ようやくセカンドアルバムが完成しました。
この作品は１作目のAngelWingより、かなりヘビー＆バイオレンスなサウンドになり、
ギターの可能性を最大限以上に極め、ケヴィンの素晴らしいボーカルスタイルとJason BeckerやJourney,リッチーコッチェンとの活躍でも知られるアトマさんのドラムと俺のギターと作曲,
アレンジ,そして自ら手掛けたミックスとマスタリングで自分が求めていたサウンド　"バイオレンスメタル"　
が出来上がりました。
この絶望しか与えないBlood Rainを是非聞いてみて下さい★
宜しく！＾＾）−ｖｖ−−
