TAKARA In Writing Mode

February 16, 2010

U.S. rockers TAKARA have commenced the songwriting process for their seventh full-length effort. Guitarist/founder Neal Grusky states, "I think this album will really please all our loyal TAKARA fans, and most likely intrigue many new ones. [it] will surely pick up up where 2008's 'Invitation To Forever' has left off.

"So far there are some classic TAKARA-style songs, and some much heavier and dynamic songs to go along with those songs.

"I hope, and expect, to be ready to enter the recording studio for the next TAKARA album sometime this year in 2010."

"Invitation To Forever" was released in October 2008 in Europe via SPV Records, and November 2008 in the U.S. and the rest of the world through ProgRock Records. The LP is also available directly from the band via its web sites and through all digital music stores.

"Invitation To Forever" featured Grusky alongside Gustavo Monsanto (REVOLUTION RENAISSANCE) on vocals, Björn Englen (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) on bass, Patrick Johansson (YNGWIE MALMSTEEN) on drums and Brook Hansen on keyboards. The album also included an extraordinary reunion with Jeff Scott Soto on back-up vocals.
