The band's 1997 major debut album, PROJECT ONE featuring Ron Keel on vocals thrust SABER TIGER to the front of the flourishing Japanese metal scene.After a successful collaboration with Ron Keel, SABER TIGER finally released three great albums (BRAIN DRAIN, SABER TIGER, F.U.S.E., ) with tremendous talented singer Takenori Shimoyama.These three albums revealed a new maturity and improved their commercial and critical standing in the Japanese charts, adding yet another epic chapter in the band's career.In 2002, due to different musical ideas and goals, Takenori Shimoyama decided to leave the band to pursue own heavy metal music. Takenori Shimoyama was introduced into new band DOUBLE DEALER and made a huge success in Japanese market. DOUBLE DEALER signed a European-wide record contract with NTS/Limb Music and pillaged through Europe on tour with Symphony X.After Takenori Shimoyama's departure, the band persevered and continued to write and record new music. And it seems certain that SABER TIGER have never let their fans down by remaining musically consistent and true to their roots for over 25 years and an unprecedented eight full length original studio albums, despite frequent line-up changes.In 2010, SABER TIGER officially announced the ground shaking reunion with Takenori Shimoyama and reforming the band into best line-up ever. The former members Yasuharu "Machine" Tanaka (Guitars) rejoined the ranks of SABER TIGER, and Yasuhiro Mizuno joined the band as the new drummer.Current line-up:Takenori Shimoyama - VocalsAkihito Kinoshita - GuitarsYasuharu "Machine" Tanaka - GuitarsTakanobu Kimoto - BassYasuhiro Mizuno - Drums Labels Tokuma Japan Communications, VAP, Edge-TraxDISCOGRAPHYSinglesRISE （1986年4月29日）CRUSH & DUSH （1987年2月）ETERNAL LOOP （2001年11月21日）(NTV Kei Anime Hajime no Ippo Ending Theme)HATE CRIME （2012年8月8日）Original Studio AlbumINVASION （1992年4月21日）AGITATION （1994年8月25日）TIMYSTERY （1995年10月25日）PROJECT ONE （1997年2月5日）BRAIN DRAIN （1998年2月21日）SABER TIGER （2001年1月24日）F.U.S.E. （2002年3月13日）INDIGNATION （2005年1月26日）DECISIVE （2011年8月3日）MESSIAH COMPLEX （2012年10月10日）Live AlbumLIVE 2002 NOSTALGIA （2003年4月23日）Compilation AlbumsPARAGRAPH （1991年5月1日）PARAGRAPH 2 （1994年4月23日）PARAGRAPH 3 （1998年9月23日)THE HISTORY OF THE NEW WORLD （2001年2月21日）PARAGRAPH IV （2011年12月28日）VIDEO DVDLIVE 2002 NOSTALGIA （DVD: 2003年4月23日）Demo TapesSABER TIGER I （1983年）FINAL CONCERT （1983年）SABER TIGER II （1984年）SABER TIGER III （1985年）SABER TIGER IV MABOROSHI & TUSK （1985年）SABER TIGER V （1986年）RISE （1987年）SABER TIGER VI DEMO OUT TAKES （1987年）SABER TIGER VII （1988年）LIVE LI-HOOD （1989年）SABER TIGER VIII （1990年）LIVE-STUDIO-LIVE （1992年）SABER TIGER DEMO '99 （1999年）SABER TIGER DEMO '99-2 （1999年） Link to the download section of Monochrome-Heaven:viewtopic.php?f=13&t=15228 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
