Tokyo Blade is a British heavy metal band that formed in 1982. The band has gone through several lineup changes over the years, but their signature sound has remained consistent throughout their discography.

The album features songs like "If Heaven Is Hell" and "Night of the Blade," which have become staples in the band's live set.
