Tokyo Blade Heavy Metal

If Heaven Is Hell

"If Heaven Is Hell" is a track by British heavy metal band Tokyo Blade, originally recorded in early 1983 when the band still operated under the name Genghis Khan. The recording later appeared on the 1984 EP Midnight Rendezvous, released through Powerstation Records. For electric guitarists, the song offers a window into the early NWOBHM sound that defined Tokyo Blade's raw, high-energy style before they refined their approach on later releases.

  • Tokyo Blade recorded this track under their earlier name, Genghis Khan, before officially adopting their well-known identity.
  • The song first appeared as part of a double 7" single titled 'Double Dealin'' before being reissued on the Midnight Rendezvous EP.
  • Midnight Rendezvous was released on Powerstation Records, a UK independent label active in the early British heavy metal scene.

Fender Stratocaster

Tokyo Blade's guitarists chose Stratocaster-type designs for their lighter, faster feel, enabling the rapid alternate picking and legato passages that define the band's early metal sound. The instrument's responsiveness facilitated extended solo work without fatigue during high-energy performances.
