Virtuoso guitar player TAKAYOSHI OHMURA is considered a kind of god in Japan but
in the rest of the world is not well known. Devils In The Dark will be
his international debut and surely it's a blast. His hr/hm is extremely
polished and production, first rate.

TAKAYOSHI OHMURA is perhaps the most talented guitar hero coming out of Japan
since Akira Takasaki (Loudness). At least for this humble reviewer after
listening his awesome CD as solo artist entitled "Devils In The Dark".

Ohmura, 30 years - and male in case of doubt if you see one of his androgyny
pics on the www - is a graduated musician from the prestigious Guitar
Institute of Technology (GIT) in 2002 and since then does not stop to
work in the Asian music business. As session musician with several
rock&pop artists (the big-in-Japan act Liv Moon to name one) and
with international renowned musicians such as Vitalij Kuprij, Richie
Kotzen, Mark Boals and Doogie White. Precisely, for "Devils In The Dark"
he has called top class vocalists to sing his rocking tunes: Russell
Allen (Allen/Lande), Titta Tani (ex-DGM, Phoenix Rising, Ashent), Cris
Powers (Razer) and Doogie White, while in the instrumentation we have
Marty Friedman, monstrous 8-string guitar player Francesco Fareri and
drummer Louis Sesto (Soul Doctor, Blindman) alongside other Japanese
talents.
"Devils In The Dark" is a polished, bright sounding classic Hard Rock album
featuring, of course a killer six-string work, but also terrific vocal
performances, strong musicianship and... very good songs!

Ohmura is a clean, super-fast guitar slinger, but never, never in this
recording shreds out of place. In fact, his exquisite legato-built solos
are short and to fit the songs, all around the four minute mark. Some
cuts are really Melodic Hard Rock oriented with massive keyboard
presence, and the varied vocal contributions help as well to balance the
album from its harder moments.
The enormous "Never Surrender" opens the disc with stabbing keyboards which
never disappear during the song, then a mammoth rhythm section enters
together with the sharp guitar riff and the highly melodic vocals of
Titta Tani (who released a very good Melodic Rock album with Phoenix
Rising presented here), and the track literally explodes. The chorus
catch your ears with its power and precision, and during the solo
section Marty Friedman duets with Ohmura in a memorable battle. Awesome
track. Check the video below...
What follows is a collection of really well cafted hard (melodic) rockers
mostly co-written with the vocalists involved so expect a quite
Euro/American style, with harder moments in "Wanna Get A Good Love",
"The Night Of U.S.A." and "Shadows Of Eternity". The melodic equilibrium
is provided by the harmony layered "Under One Flag", "Solitary
Universe" and the short instrumental "Trust". There's also some
variation in the song skeleton with the interesting "Poison Eyes" where
female singer Akane Liv (Liv Moon) plants her particular vocals.
Another highlight is without a doubt the shining "Delusional Dreams" showcasing
the always great throat of Russell Allen, a melodic yet fast paced hard
rocker with tons of keys, pumping bass, multi-track layers of guitars
and a razor solo. ~ Review by 0dayrox
