OVERVIEW:
Forging together in the UK metal scene of the late â80s, TORANAGA was a band that seemed destined for big things. Not only was their bridging of thrash with traditionally-flavored heavy metal songwriting instantly irresistible, they also had the major label muscle of Chrysalis Records behind them. But fate had other plans.
Godâs Gift, TORANAGAâs 1990 sophomore album, should have propelled the group to headliner status. The record features barnburners such as the speedy assault of âPsychoticâ alongside BLACK SABBATH-like stompers like âBlack Is the Mask.â MTVâs Headbangers Ball even gave album single âThe Shrineâ some airplay, but a series of bad record label decisions ultimately killed off any chance of Godâs Gift truly finding a wider audience. After recording an EP as a last ditch effort to keep the band signed to Chrysalis, TORANAGA pulled the plug on the entire thing.
Always on a mission to right the wrongs of metal history, Divebomb Records now presents this deluxe edition of Godâs Gift in newly remastered form. The album also features a brand new interview with the band by Noisecreep.comâs Carlos Ramirez, plus archival photos. If that werenât already enough, Divebomb is including the aforementioned EP, which has never been released before. Itâs the kind of deluxe packaging TORANAGA truly deserves.
