According to a Japanese friend of mine you should pronounce it as "Syuudan Jisatsu" which means "A Mass Suicide", but also doing a search over the net, I've found people saying "Shuudan Jisatsu" translate to "Group Suicide". More search done and I found a thread over 7inchPunk.com forum where people are trying to solve the mystery of "Syudan Jisatsu". Some people says this is a Finnish band, others say it has Sakevy from GISM on vocal. I don't know, but it sounds alot like GISM, specially the vocals.I also found a review on the great site www.austrinken.com saying:
"Frankly: I know next to nothing about this band since more than a decade ago, SYUDAN JISATSU totally drowned within the sea of anonymity. In addition to this, I always thought that this troop is called SHUDAN JISATSU, but a trustworthy friend told me that their moniker is SYUDAN JISATSU. I’m not sure what’s accurate – my Japanese got a little bit rusty recently… Anyway, despite the completely metal looking cover as well as the "names" of the members ("Fist Fight", "Human of the Ghoul", "Erotic Guy Machine" – Jeeeeeezzuuuus!), this platter entirely rules. SYUDAN JISATSU are playing not too swift, but outright driving, slightly metal influenced hardcore with a deep shouting vocalist. Not only because of the singer, who barks in the notorious Sakevi fashion, this EP, that doesn’t have a lyric sheet and/or any inserts, reminds me of GISM ("Detestation" era) and that’s a damn good sign in my book. If you’ll see this murderous single, do yourself a favor and purchase it!! By the way, is anyone familiar with more items of this overwhelming horde?" On the Japanese site More Noise there is a review but is in Japanese.
For the Finnish part, well, I got the feeling that my friend Otto (Força Macabra, Selfish) has something to do releasing that. I have to ask him about it. And it was released around 1997, I guess. Maybe no one will tell us the truth about this band (or project).

Thanks for posting! I bought this from Vacuum Distro many years ago and I seem to recall their catalog description saying that this wasn't a Japanese band but a European band doing the Japanese sound... anyway, great stuff regardless.
great post,like the mystery around it too.....
The singer sounds so much like Sakevi, he could even start a G.I.S.M. cover band. Well, Sakevi would kill him for that, hahaha.
This is Brilliant and the mystery give us an extra spice.
B R I L L I A N T ! AMEN!
b.t.w. I wrote a response to your comment on having played in INFERNO... I hope I could bring my point across! if you want more detailed explanation write me a mail [am.i.mean@gmail.com]! oh, nearly forgot: the split 12" with EXECUTE kills! AMEN!
Yes I do get the Gism alikeness. The gitar riff on the second tarck "muster up violence" sounds like the "tear their syphlic vaginas to pieces" one by Gism. I loove it! Thanks.
i like this record but i have my doubts on its origin-and that certainly ain't sakvei on vox.cheers for sharing.

DANKE!!!!
Great band. They also have some unreleased songs that were recorded at the same session as the 7" that were due for release on a one sided 8" flexi, which sadly (as far as i'm aware) never saw the light of day.
As for other details about the band, let it remain shrouded in mystery.
these guys are just japcore fanatics. high chance they are not japanese. on the back they thank sakevi. why they dont thank the entire band is a mystery. just gism fans who want to play japanese style punk. no different than some little american garage band obsessed with crass and steal the ideas, style, vocals, and album covers.
have they released anything else? id kill to hear it, well, not kill, but id like to hear it
it's actually a one man band. and, also a member of the band selfish. was pretty much done out of secrecy, because he wanted it taken seriously.
Thanks
the answer was told there already.. There are finnish Selfish member on this 7" This is 100% sure. I know the guy behind this release.
