 Maō Taiten was the seventh studio album by Onmyo-Za, released on July 25, 2007, and the first album to reach the 13th position on the Japanese chart, to date remaining their best-selling album.

 The track Maō is characterized by heavy, thrash, and progressive parts; the track also features the use of growl and a vocal technique typical of Gagaku.

Onmyo-Za's 2007 album Maō Taiten marks a return to their heavy metal roots after a more pop-oriented 2005 release. The album draws heavily on Japanese history, especially Oda Nobunaga, blending thrash, progressive, and traditional Japanese vocal techniques. It is their best-selling album, reaching number 13 on Japanese charts. While regarded as one of their strongest works, the reviewer views other albums like Kishibojin as superior. Dive into Onmyo-Za's Maō Taiten and experience heavy metal fused with Japan's rich history—listen now!

 I therefore consider this their best album, and despite the excellent American albums, Loudness would never again reach these heights.

 The album features excellent tracks like Crazy Doctor, Dream Fantasy, and Satisfaction Guaranteed, which have become the group’s cornerstones.

Loudness's Disillusion is hailed as their best and most complex album, blending heavy metal with progressive rock influences.

Dreamspirit’s 'General Triumphant' showcases a powerful blend of classic heavy metal and traditional Chinese instruments.

 The Law of Devil's Land and the subsequent Disillusion are decidedly superior, being harder, purer, and less commercial compared to those from their U.S. period.

 This album represents a turning point in the band’s history, thanks to which they secured their first tour in Europe and North America.

Loudness' 1983 album The Law of Devil's Land is a landmark in Japanese heavy metal, showcasing a harder and purer sound than their later American releases. The album features standout tracks like the explosive title track and memorable songs such as In the Mirror and Show Me the Way. It marked a crucial turning point that enabled Loudness to tour internationally and gain recognition outside Japan. Its entirely Japanese lyrics and progressive influences add depth to this classic metal release. Discover the raw power and legacy of Loudness by listening to The Law of Devil's Land today!
