Heavy Metal Anthem is the eighth studio album by the Japanese heavy metal band Anthem, released on April 21, 2000. The band had been around since the 80's, recording albums in their native Japanese language, but this album was a 'greatest hits' album recorded with English singer Graham Bonnet (Rainbow, Alcatrazz) singing English lyrics to the songs. Great album! I have to admit I have not listened to the Japanese versions yet.
