TERRA ROSA - Classic Albums Available on Streaming Services

The legendary female fronted hard rock/heavy metal band TERRA ROSA now have their classic albums on major streaming services. 4 albums including the band's famous debut album "The Endless Basis" have been made available.

TERRA ROSA was active in the mid to late 80s until the early 90s before disbanding. They came back to do some selected reunion shows, but the band's singer Kazue Akao made a sudden announcement some time back during the pandemic that she will be retiring completely from singing metal, which shocked many as plans were heard of a comeback album.

TERRA ROSA albums are still available as physical copies, so be sure to purchase them while they are still available!!

Interview - ex-EZO/FLATBACKER Drummer HIRO HOMMA

The HEAVIER JAPAN was able to conduct a short interview with former EZO and FLATBACKER drummer Hirotsugu "Hiro" Homma who will be celebrating his 60th birthday at the HIRO FEST to take place this weekend at the CLUB CITTA in Kawasaki, Japan. - Congratulations on your 60th birthday! Tell us about your upcoming HIRO FEST birthday show. Hiro: Thank you! Well, when I looked back I realized that a lot of the bands I was in are not active anymore, and I never got to do any so-called anniversary shows either. For the first time I'm doing this sort of anniversary thing for my 60th birthday, and I wanted to organize the whole event from scratch on my own as well. So, I consider this my way of celebrating a milestone. First I wanted to perform something from all of the bands I have been part of, but I realized it's impossible to do that in just one night. I don't think I can physically cope with that either (laughs). So I decided to have some friends join me for that night....
