Bio:

Bow Wow is hard rock band from Japan, who are regarded with influencing many hard rock and heavy metal bands.Beginning as Bow Wow in 1975, they changed their name to Vow Wow in 1984 when they adopted a more commercial sound, and recruited vocalist Genki Hitomi. In 1987 the band relocated to England, and were without a bassist for a short-time, as their current bassist stayed in Japan. Former Whitesnake bassist Neil Murray offered to join the band, and they began recording the album V with producer Kit Woolven (Thin Lizzy, David Bowie), and were asked by Tommy Vance to create the jingles for his British radio programme, the Friday Rock Show. After another album, they recorded the classic hard-rock anthem "Rock Me Now" and returned to Japan for a nation tour.Although experiencing commercial success, Genki wanted to remain in Japan to begin a family with his girlfriend. At the same time, guitarist Kyoji Yamamoto and drummer Toshihiro Niimi were invited to join the supergroup Phenomena. The band decided to record one more album, titled Helter Skelter in 1989 which was handled by Tony Taverner (Gypsy Kings, Black Sabbath, Robert Palmer). After the album, the band members returned to Japan, while Neil joined Black Sabbath. Shortly after they disbanded, producers Nick Griffiths (Queen, Paul McCartney) and Bob Ezrin requested to create an album with them. The band reunited without Kenji or Neil on bass, as they were both actively touring, and instead recruited American studio bass player Mark Gould for the album. In 1990, they recorded and released their final album Mountain Top.Genki became a high-school teacher, while the other members each continued separate musical careers. In 1995, Kyoji and Toshihiro reunited as BowWow.

Album:

Some time ago Rock Candy Records started a especially numbered 'JPCANDY' series focused on the remastered reissue of Japanese bands / albums. "Charge" is the third record from BOW WOW, a pioneer hard rock / metal Japanese act.For many Bow Wow's best album ever, this is the first time that "Charge" is released outside Asia."Charge" was Bow Wow’s third album and showcased a more solid, and in some ways a much more refined approach to the band’s evolving sound. This new album rather cleverly fused intense hard rock riffing with a sense of mature drama, which suggested Bow Wow were not just a one dimensional beast.This aptly titled epic features more of the hard-hitting heavy metal that made the first two albums ones to appreciate. While a step down in terms of heaviness, it manages to mold both hard rock and traditional metal together.The self-titled debut cruised with joy, the sophomore tore fans up, and this one gives the best of both.Guitarist & vocalist Kyoji Yamamoto is the main songwriter for the band, and has grown considerably here, even though it doesn’t sound like a whole lot has changed.The songwriting still consists of the usual short rockers, a soft track or two, and a track that conjures some epicness.Kicking off with 'Jet Jive' this is all about rock 'n roll. Kyoji’s accent makes the parts sung in English to be a bit amusing at first, but at least the man is trying and putting a lot of energy into the performance. With stuff like 'Jet Jive' he's pretty nasal, unlike 'Sister Soul' and 'Rock And Roll Kid' where the vocals are low cleans; most of the album takes this approach, too.'Fallen Leaves' is the separate ballad, but even then Kyoji has focused, poignant, thick cleans lead vocals. One thing’s for sure, you won’t feel intimidated by his singing… except on 'Must Say Adieu' which is the longest, heaviest, and one of the best songs on the album.It's the epic number where the riff blasts things off, and Kyoji does grunts, warbles, wails, screams, and shouts with his roughest performance yet. His guitar alongside Mitsuhiro Saito blaze through with dual riffs tearing the place up into a festive fire, and then it breaks into one of the best bridges I’ve ever heard in heavy metal.For those looking into Bow Wow's career, "Charge" is considered the best starting point, but even then you might as well just start at the beginning. This 3rd album makes the debut sound years away, even though the hard rock / traditional metal style has barely changed at all.
