Retro Release: 32 years ago today—on August 25, 1993—X JAPAN released Art of Life, a one-track studio release (running ~29 minutes) recorded across sessions from 1991–1993 and featuring orchestral arrangements; the piece was issued via East West / Atlantic in Japan. A towering, progressive-metal suite that blends virtuoso piano, heavy, down-tuned riffing and symphonic passages, Art of Life unfolds as an epic, symphonic 29-minute suite—a single composition that moves from delicate piano sections to full-on metal climaxes.
It debuted at No. 1 on the Oricon Albums Chart, selling strongly on release and going on to sell several hundred thousand copies in Japan (the release has exceeded 600,000 copies in long-term sales figures).
