Salty Dog - ELiXiR (February 15, 2019)

[billm99uk]

Salty Dog make their first release after losing their gaijin front woman, Inger. The new one is called Sera and the vocals Japanese, so I guess she's a local? SD are mostly what you'd call 'Loud Rock' in Japan, I believe.

Another example (in the album title) of the odd Japanese rule that English band names/release titles should be all in caps...other than the letter i... (LAPiS LiGHT, REGiNA KiSS). This message brought to you courtesy of Nerdy Observations R Us.

Anyway, thought this was decent, may delve further in a quiet moment between releases. I think I saw their live footage with the old singer and wasn’t that enthused, but who knows.

Their last vocalist wasn't really my thing either. Maybe Sera will be a step up!

And we have an MV:



Not bad. Almost like they're trying to hide the change of vocalists with that funky wig though

Is that the same 'stately home' Yuzukingdom used for 'National Anthem' though?
