Later, Hirotsugu Homma (who had played together with Shibata in Loudness ) replaced Takamasa Oouchi on drums and Eizo Sakamoto returned to the vocals. In 2001, they released Seven Hills . In 2002 came Overload , which is considered by most critics to be much more aggressive than Seven Hills . In 2003, the band recorded Live’ Melt Down at Citta Club Kawasaki. In 2004 the band released the single “Onslaught” followed by the album Eternal Warrior , which continued in the same sound direction as Overload . In 2005, Anthem celebrated their twentieth anniversary with a special tour, where all members of the band since 1985 played the band songs in their respective formations. The Kawasaki show of this tour was filmed and released on DVD as “20th Anniversary Tour”.
