Metal Express Radio had a brief chat with vocalist Minoru Niihara from Loudness after their gig at Sweden Rock Festival 2016.
Learn about the band’s influences from when they started out in Japan, how Minory was forced to learn English to break outside Japan, how producer Max Norman worked to make the vocals sound right and about the 400(!) songs the band has written. Way too many according to Minoru Niihara.
Stig is the founder and the president of Metal Express Radio, based out of Oslo, Norway. He has been around doing Metal radio since the mid-eighties. In fact, running Metal Express Radio takes almost all of his time. Is it worth it...? "Most times, yes," Stig says. "My philosophy is to try to give all Metal releases a fair chance to get promoted in one way or another. As you can imagine, it can be an arduous task to listen through about 20 albums every week! Still, I know we have the best METAL dedicated radio on this planet, and that is a reward in and of itself. I hope one day the whole Metal community can and will make listening to Metal Express Radio part of their daily rituals! Yeah, right..."
