The evolution of this runaway trio shows no signs of stopping!The chemical reaction that can only exist between these three turns zero into infinity!ENDALL's first full-length album in their current lineup has arrived!HAIL MIND, the third album from ENDALL, is also the band's first full-length release with their current lineup. Originally rooted in high-speed thrash metal, their sound has gradually evolved and refined itself over time, naturally expanding in scope without losing its core identity. This album once again delivers explosive headbanging anthems, while also featuring songs that slow the pace to emphasize melody, tracks carrying a progressive flavor, what could be called ENDALL-style ballads, and even instrumental pieces overflowing with groove and twisted eccentricity. The result is an album that maintains a solid foundation while showcasing impressive versatility, highlighting both the members' exceptional musicianship and the band's current creative peak.Among the standout elements is Okada's astonishing guitar work, carrying on the lineage of guitar heroes that followed Eddie Van Halen. His virtuosic playing has become a powerful new weapon for the band. This is an album recommended not only for thrash metal fans, but also for listeners of Foo Fighters, Dizzy Mizz Lizzy, and The Hellacopters.- Yuichi Masuda
