Storied, trailblazing Japanese metal band was a mighty rock force before finally grabbing American ears in the mid-’80s. Though Loudness, like most other bands that have been together for decades, have had ups and downs and personnel entrances and exits, the outfit, with albums including “The Birthday Eve,” “Thunder in the East,” “8186 Live” and the latest “King of Pain,” continues to bring the volume and the rock heat.
