The gutarist( Forgot his name) was a major shredder, kicked some reall ass in the 80's... but the band as a whole did not turn my crank. It was too much fluff, and not enough of showing song that rock.
Another words: Good but never was very good... sorry.
If you want to see one hell of a Japanese band, check out Gallhammer. Three pretty chicks in make-up playing some major death metal. Their album will be on my top ten at the end of the year.
