Raspy vocals hurl themselves over this wall of abrasive power, pushing with shrilling guitar licks and a rapid-paced melody keeping it all chaotic. Enjoyable tracks that are well organized and crank out the energy. Fast, without overdoing it for their style. Japan rages again!
One of the better sounding modern metal-inspired HC bands with the GISM influences. Overwhelming power and drive without obnoxious solos. Great drumming and guitar as well as vocals. Comes with a live flexi, fancy photo booklet, all enclosed in a sealed paper bag.
A four-song EP that comes with a one-sided flexi, all in a PISTOLS ripoff sound. Okay, but “old” and not delivered with the gusto it’d need to be special.
Real pounding beat and buzzsaw guitar, mid-tempo punk. While not remarkable, one tune, “Move Onward,” is quite special, a catchy classic.
Abrasive, grinding mayhem, crazy splats of distortion, crackling vocals, and the next Japanese cult fave. This CHAOS UK-type noise corrosion slapper growls with insanity, roaring feedback, and those raw barks like stormtrooping bombs.
A regional compilation from Kyushu Island in the south of Japan, this baby features two or three tracks each from six bands: GAI, GEDON, GESS, NO-CUT, AGGRESSIVE DOGS, and KURO. Most all is in a hard-driving original punk style, sounding really good and straightforward. Fine musicianship and production are hallmarks in Japan, and this one is no letdown. Hot.
