Action - Overload (1988)

 
Cost: 99¢

Was quite shocked to find this. Even the early Action stuff has quite a lot of rock-oriented songs, though they definitely had some metal in their repertoire too. Unfortunately by this album, they went the route of other Japanese bands like Blizard and Reaction by ditching any sort of real band logo on their covers and switching to hard rock. For hard rock, this is fine. There's some residual heaviness in the guitarwork, and opener "Blow the Night Away" and closer "Violence" are pretty good. Not my musical preference, but it was worth checking out for 99 cents.
