Bow Wow
Blistering 1976 debut of Japanese heavy rock. Overdriven Marshall stacks and technical fretboard wizardry define this high-voltage transition from blues to metal.

The sound of a new era dawning. In 1976, Bow Wow unleashed a self-titled debut that effectively mapped out the future of Japanese heavy music. It is a record defined by friction: the friction of fingers sliding across steel strings, the friction of a band pushing their amplifiers past the point of comfort, and the friction of a culture transitioning from the psychedelic 60s into the hard-edged 70s. This is raw, unadulterated energy captured on tape before the genre became overly polished.
