Hoist The Colours High (Uk)

Brand new 14-track studio album from British metal legends Tokyo Blade, featuring band mainstays Andy Boulton (guitar) and Alan Marsh (vocals). Creatively, this is one of the most consistently high-quality periods in the band's long and storied history. 'Hoist The Colours High' is the latest effort in a purple patch for the band that has seen them issue a mammoth 4CD retrospective collection just last year, and the well-received 'Time Is The Fire' album at the beginning of 2026. Hailing from Wiltshire, forming in 1982, Tokyo Blade was initially considered part of the NWOBHM scene but quickly outgrew the tag, enduring over the course of 14 studio albums and five EPs. Producing genuine early classics such as their self-titled debut and follow-up 'Night Of The Blade', the band went through multiple line-up changes over the years, yet continued to enjoy the support of the metal community and die-hard fans across the globe
