Description

Saber Tiger was founded in 1981 by guitarist Akihito Kinoshita and they have been illuminating the Japanese metal scene ever since. In recent years, they have been more prolific than ever, leading to the international release of Bystander Effect via Sliptrick Records in March, 2018. The album illustrates the broad appeal of Saber Tiger. The riffs are intricate, yet catchy. The songs are heavy, yet melodic. And the vocals of Takenori Shimoyama are raw, but extremely passionate. As a result, the groups heavy metal is classic and timeless while at the same time having the potential to appeal to both traditional metal-heads and fans of contemporary power metal. There are even some progressive influences in their music. The band may have been around for a long time but there is a freshness and commitment to the music that belies their many years and the band certainly sound nothing if not contemporary.

The release of Bystander Effect is not just a simple re-issue for the international market; four of the tracks, originally in Japanese, have been re-recorded with English lyrics, while the brand new acoustic instrumental Ship Of Theseusand a new recording of the Saber Tiger classic First Class Fool are exclusive to the Sliptrick Records release. Also, demo recordings of the spectacular tracks Sin Eater and What I Used To Be are included. There is no better way to get acquainted with Saber Tiger’s unique brand of heavy metal.

    „Bystander Effect“ in der 2018er Version ist eine uneingeschränkte Kaufempfehlung schon alleine wegen der brillianten Power-Riffs. Aber auch sonst können die ausdrucksstarken Metalsongs, die Saber Tiger hier liefern, mit der internationalen Klasse mehr als mithalten. Umso mehr sollte man sich vielleicht mal in den Backkatalog der Band einhören. Könnte sich lohnen …read more

    Sometimes we can hear some kind of aggressive power metal, with real powerful sound (the best example is the song entitled “Shameless” which starts so extreme!)… Mentioned earlier raging and massive guitars crossing best way with killer guitar solos which sounds really deep and memorable! And of course I can’t skip just amazing ballad like “An Endless End – Another Time” …read more

    Bystander Effect is a complete, detailed and extremely well-crafted album of pure Heavy Metal, courtesy of a band that lives up to the traditions of their homeland, being precise and focused in everything they do., and if you don’t feel the urge to visit Japan and learn more about their metal scene in loco after listening to Saber Tiger, well, I feel really sorry for your (boring) soul …read more

    The familiarity of the groovy metal is offset perfectly by the deep bassy edge that Saber Tiger offer. It’s consistently heavy & filled with such a thrilling amount of rhythm that even when things are slowed down just a touch (Just-World Hypothesis) it still delivers on all fronts …read more
