Rating: This album has not yet been rated.
Perahia returned to the studio and recorded the polished melodic metal of the critically acclaimed Intense Defense (which came out on RCA Europe in 1988). Seven long years passed – that included a stint in Jaguar with vocalist Robyn Kyle Basauri (Red Sea, Die Happy) – before he put together his new group, M Pire, and its full length debut Chapter 1. Originally released on Long Island Records in 1995 (and soon to go out of print when Long Island went out of business), Chapter 1 was re-issued in 2001 on M&K Sound – under the new heading Joshua Perahia as opposed to M Pire – and for a second time in 2008 (but with the track "Bad Man" omitted).
The addition of Joshua's last name was to avoid confusion as so many bands were using the name Joshua. Perahia states "We went back (from MPire to Joshua) to re-fire... re-ignite what we had before."
