TOKYO BLADE is one of the special bands that comprise the highly esteemed NWOBHM scene. The act initially formed in the late seventies—previously using the monikers WHITE DIAMOND, KILLER and GENGHIS KHAN—and aside from two extended periods of inactivity following disbanding, the band has been kicking out the heavy metal jams for almost 30 years. Not every band can obtain the monstrous commercial success of the likes of IRON MAIDEN or JUDAS PRIEST, and though they came from an exclusive and seminal pack, TOKYO BLADE's star hasn't shined as brightly as those of the aforementioned juggernauts. The group should have received more widespread attention based upon the merits of its music; however, and there is a great deal to be said of the unit's tenacity. TOKYO BLADE's 2018 album, "Unbroken", serves that very point.
 
The Brits never properly gained steam and built momentum because of its hiatuses, as well as common issues like lineup instability that plague so many bands. Since its second reformation a decade ago, founding member Andy Boulton has provided focus to the heavy metal titan, leading it to churn out a couple of LPs and a pair of EPs. For "Unbroken", Bolton rallied the troops as the lineup is stacked with original members: singer Alan Marsh, guitarist John Wiggins, drummer Steve Pierce and bassist Andy Wrighton.
