Heavy Metal Anthem is the eighth studio album by the Japanese heavy metal band Anthem, released on April 21, 2000. It was their first album since their disbandment in 1992. Most of the former members play on the album, but the original vocalist, Eizo Sakamoto, did not return until the next album ( Seven Hills ), and was a joint collaboration between the band and English singer Graham Bonnet. [1] All of the songs are Anthem's older releases, which have been rerecorded and sung in English by Bonnet. [2] Bassist and principal songwriter Naoto Shibata recreated the songs with Bonnet's voice in mind, including the English lyrics. [3]
