Song: Last Survivor
Album: One Night Magic
Year: 1987
Label: King
Sabbrabells was one of the biggest bands in Japan during their heyday in the mid 80's. Playing sold out arena shows and selling out albums was first on their list of accomplishments, and all the while, they flaunted an excessive satanic and occult image that seemed to appeal to their fans alike. Just like Venom and Iron Maiden sang songs about 666 and the number of the beast, Sabbrabells replicated the same concept and sold out arena shows like their British counterparts. Last Survivor takes on a more post apocalyptic approach, and is lumped in the general horror category. Kiichi really shows off his high vocal range on this one, although everyone whom I showed the song to all said they hated it. It still surprises me to this day how big this band was, and it's a true testament to how rock and roll can be bigger than Jesus, so to speak.
