I know I haven't uploaded many 7" eps on here, but I couldn't ignore this one any longer. True Japanese metal greatness just doesn't get any better than this. The band had a slew of other releases, but lets forget those, because this is tops for them, and Japanese metal from this time period. There are many elements of NWOBHM bands such as Tank, and Maiden in this ep. Add some Motorhead, and Gism with the diy punkish production and packaging and you have the perfect true punk & metal record. This came out on Noise Room.
This is another one that my buddy Louis turned me onto, pretty late if I might add. This was released in 1985, and I don't think I heard it until 1989. Louis and I would drive to the Anthrax, and trash American Style records in CT., and he'd always have some obscure new foreign music blaring from his tape deck. Enjoy!

  2. I was never really into the Japanese hardcore punk or metal scene, but this band really stands out. The only other Japanese band I can think of were the Sideburns. Thanks for putting this one up.

  3. I have some Sideburns records. Japanese Oi. So much better Japanese stuff out there Mike.
    Bastard, Gauze, Warhead, Deathside, S.O.B., Gism, Lipcream. These are some of the greats.
    Beware, listening to this stuff becomes addicting.

  11. It took you 4 years to listen to this... well that's says a lot. Any way it does has some good NWOBHM influences here as you note it, and the cover isn't that bad, if they added color to it it might have ruined it so am glad they kept it with just the outlines.
