Anthem is one of Japan's great heavy metal bands, formed in the early '80s. "Love on the Edge" was the fifth track on their sixth album, No Smoke Without Fire. It was their first album that wasn't on Nexus Records, instead published by the Music for Nations label. It was their first album without the big time British producer who helped make them big, Chris Tsangarides. It was also their only album with guitarist Hideaki "Shadow Walker" Nakama, and boy, does he light up this music video.
This was my first time seeing this video. The whole band looks and sounds amazing. I don't often see two kick drums used at once. Nakama seems dead set on destroying the entire set and even his guitar, long before the song ends. I like how it turns from day to night halfway through the song.
This band is still kicking around, touring and working on their twentieth album, if I'm counting right.
I'm not able to embed the video here due to restrictions, but here's a link: https://youtu.be/XdgEVpefmMA
