PRETTY MAIDS
<pritty maze>

About two years after the appearance of "LOUD PARK" in 2015, Veran PRETTY MAIDS of Danish orthodox Melo Dick Metal is returning to Japan on a solo tour! 　The Scandinavian Metal boom, which occurred in the mid-1980s, created a number of world-renowned bands, but this PRETTY MAIDS has been the only one that has been active at the forefront without ever disbanding from its debut until today. Their music quality is so high and stable, and the trusting relationship between Lonny Atkins and Ken Hama, the core of the band, is also strong. 　It was in 1983 that they made their record debut. The following year, in 1984, he made his world debut with the masterpiece "RED, HOT AND HEAVY", and immediately became a popular band in Japan. The lyrical and dramatic Hevy Metal with their stylistic elements is just the sound of Japanese love, and since the first visit to Japan in 1990, the relationship between the band and Japanese fans will continue. 　In the 2000s, there were times when their activities seemed stagnant, due to unhappiness such as bankruptcy of management and hospitalization of Ken Hama due to heart attacks. During that time, the album was always on stand, but the tour in Japan has been a long time. However, the eleventh work in 2010, "PANDEMONIUM," is a powerful work that regains the mood of the early band, and the tour accompanying this album was realized for the first time in 11 years in the fall of 2012. Except for Lonny Atkins and Ken Hammer, the band's performance, which became more energetic, enthusiastic about Japanese fans. 　As a result, they revived a good relationship with Japan, and as early as the fall of 2013, they participated in "LOUD PARK" for the first time in the fall of 2015 and gained many new fans. On the other hand, Lonny Atkins came to Japan in 2013 and 2016 as a member of AVANTASIA to showcase his presence to many metal fans. 　This visit to Japan is accompanied by the new work "KINGMAKER" released in the fall of 2016 (the 13th pure original album), and will be visiting Japan with Chris Rainy as a new member on behalf of Molten Sandager, who has been working together since 2010. I think many enthusiasts react to the name Chris Rainy, but from Sweden, he has also worked on numerous gram/pop metal bands as a producer, and his talent is highly appreciated. 　What kind of show will they show on this tour in Japan, who continues to attract fans with a music style with strong metal sound and a unique melancholy melody? I would like as many metal fans as possible to taste their stage, where people who watched the live acclaimed, "PRETTY MAIDS is amazing." Masao Fujiki/BURRN!
