	Just got Their debut in the mail (along with bound to break and No Smoke Without Fire). The Soudn quality isnt the greatest on the debut, but I kind of dig that raw sound. Out of all three, Bound to breaks my favorite, it freaking shred!

Which version did you get? the english or japanese language version?

There has been no further news about Munetaka's health but the name of the replacement drummer has been officially announced today.

A former Ded Chaplin drummer, Kozo Suganuma has been playing professionally since the age of 15 and is one of the country's most sought-after drummers in different musical fields. Minoru, who has known Kozo for more than 30 years, describes him as "one of the best drummers in the world, not only in Japan".

Here is a message from Kozo:

Quote:

I think everyone already knows about these unfortunate news. Mr. Munetaka Higuchi from LOUDNESS has been diagnosed with cancer and he is fighting with this illness. I feel very sad as a fellow drummer and as a friend.
Recently, I received a call from Minoru Niihara (Ded Chaplin's vocalist and my former bandmate), who told me about the sad news. After I heard the news, I decided to take over his work. I cancelled most of my previous commitments. It is not easy to take over such a great band that creates Japanese metal music history. Also, I haven't had enough time to do rehearsals. However, I wanted to do something for my friend. It was a very difficult decision for me. I hope all of the LOUDNESS fans understand the situation.

Bad News, just like the killer song off of "The Birthday Eve". All the best for Munetaka! A strong and dedicated samurai! Long live Loudness, the beast from the East!

The official statement (English Version)

Quote:

Loudness Drummer, Munetaka Higuchi's Sabbatical

"I have an important announcement to make to all our fans. On April 7th, our drummer, Munetaka Higuchi was hopitalized for a check-up on his liver and after all the tests, he was diagnosed with Hepatocellular Carcinoma.

In order to receive treatment and fight this disease, he will be on sabbatical for the time being. It was his strong desire to come out and tell all of you about his illness since he appreciates your love and support and believes he will prevail and come back to play again. We appreciate your understanding and support through this hard time.

As for our scheduled live performances in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka, after much consideration, we have decided to replace Munetaka and carry them out as scheduled.

We apologize for any inconvenience and disappointment this would cause and again appreciate your understanding and cooperation."
