Only four ripping tracks with great production.
牙 a.k.a KIBA plays the "Burning Spirit" style of Japanese Hardcore, while OUTSIDER goes on more melodic catchy HC/Punk, amazing tunes.

JUDGEMENT - Just Be CD 2000

Just Be is the only CD (a mini CD) and last release of the Japanese band Judgement. Like the previous releases, they got changes on the line-up, this time a female bass player joined the band after the departure of Iizawa and to the vocals and lyrics they got the legendary Lip Cream's vocalist Jhaja.
It took me while to get into this album which is quite different from the singles. More melody on the clear vocals, nothing like Lip Cream was and female back vocals are included too. Sure I've expected more but still worth to have it.DOWNLOAD:

JUDGEMENT - Night Brings EP '98

The fourth Judgement single brings the band to a 3 piece as the vocalist Tokurow is no longer the singer. But with the guitarist Zigyaku singing Night Brings and the bassist Iizawa singing the weird and interesting song Heart of Darkness the band keeps the pace and quality of the previous releases.DOWNLOAD:

JUDGEMENT - Haunt in The Dark 7'' EP '97

What a release!!! Great record production not only in the music field but also on the jacket cover, a colourful hard gate fold cover that you normally see on double LP. Again they deliver two powerful songs, but on this record the former Bastard vocalist Tokurow replaces Nori making Judgement 3/4 of Bastard.DOWNLOAD:
JUDGEMENT - Haunt in The Dark 7'' EP '97 (HG-Fact / HG-85)

JUDGEMENT - Process 7'' EP '97

Although the release number is #70 this single was basically released just after the first Judgement record not to say along it. Because it was only sold at concerts in Japan making this a rare piece of vinyl. Unfortunately I don't own this record, I got it from soulseek but I've enhanced the quality as the volume sound was a bit low.

JUDGEMENT - No Reason Why EP '96

This is the first release of the Japanese band JUDGEMENT which was born from the ashes of Death Side, Bastard and Cruck.
It was recorded at the great Our House studio and produced by HG-Fact Records so you can expect an excellent quality of record, only two tracks of pure Burning Spirit.
It was released at Christmas 1996 -would be a great Christmas present- Followed by the Process 7" EP that I will post next.DOWNLOAD:

JYUDEN SOUCHI (充電装置) - "Deadline" Flexi 7" EP '86

Again after a long time, I'm back. Who knows if I will keep it on track?
Anyhow, I present you 充電装置 (JYUDEN SOUCHI) another great rare Japanese band which I know almost nothing about apart the second flexi 8" EP Voice of Fight and few live tracks on the V.A. Corruption LP from 1988. If you only heard them from the compilation, I think you'll be delighted to hear the good studio production of Deadline, Go Destroy and Smash Up.
In fact this flexible 7" is amazing from the beginning to the end. Solid japancore.
Obs.: This record was also available on a great bootleg LP " You Can Set The Dove Free..." among The Sexual, So What and Crow. DOWNLOAD:

RAISE CAIN - Bootleg 7'' EP '95

No! This blog is not dead! Yes, it has been while since the last time I posted something here, but I'm still checking things out, not coming over here like before due to the crazy schedule in my life. I wish i can get more spare time, because I really enjoy up/download stuff.
I have many records in mind, but I'll start with something that I promised to post.
As you should know, I've posted the Japanese Raise Cain's "Ground Zero Demo" and "Return To Many Shocks and Panic first 7" EP" . Now you get the second 7" EP released by the great American label Sound Pollution.

RAISE CAIN - Return To Many Shocks and Panic 7'' EP '89

RAISE CAIN - Ground Zero Demo '86
More Japancore, this time I present you with RAISE CAIN. This is their first 7" EP from 1989 released by the German label Amok Records.
Raise Cain also appears on Hilt to Hilt-Yokohama City Hardcore 7" EP and on the classic compilation Eye of The Thrash Guerilla LP. They have another 7" on Sound Pollution Records called Bootleg (to be posted in the future).
As a bonus I'm including their demo from 1986 which is a fucking great recording, it could easily be released as a 7" EP.

NIGHTMARE + CONCRETE SOX - Split 7'' EP '91

Another MCR release. This time Nightmare from Japan versus Concrete Sox from England.

Nightmare play typical Japanese Osaka thrashcore ala S.O.B. They've been putting great records out since their first amazing 7" EP from 1988 on Selfish Records, until now when they're still touring.

Concrete Sox formed 1984 at the heart of what seemed to be an explosion of hardcore and metal music, Nottingham and also part of Derby. They were one of the earliest hybrid metal/hardcore bands to come out of the UK as well as arguably one of the earliest examples of a hardcore band leaning towards metal music (this is typically referred to as "crossover thrash" nowadays) who had an animal and politically conscious message in their music.
This 7" split EP also coincided with the Concrete Sox Japanese tour in 1992.

01 - Annihilation - NIGHTMARE
02 - Find Your Way - NIGHTMARE
03 - 悲劇 (Tragedy) - NIGHTMARE
04 - Extremely Hardcore - CONCRETE SOX
05 - City Slave - CONCRETE SOX

TETSU ARREY - Force 7" EP '96

Just 15 days after being posted, the 1st Tetsu Arrey album had reached more than 200 downloads, so I thought would be nice to post this great 7" EP which was released by HG-Fact and has three songs included on the second album, but slightly different versions, plus a exclusive track called Starting Over. My favority is the first song 生きてる自分を誰かが知っている with a great guitar solo.

鉄アレイ TETSU ARREY 1st Album

Hello fellas! After some time of laziness, I'm back for a few more posts. I don't think will be many, but they are here ready to be posted.
鉄アレイ, TETSU ARREY or TETSU ARRAY is a Japanese band first known from the compilation Eye of The Thrash Guerrilla LP '88 bootlegged in 2000.
I don't know when this album was released as it doesn't state on the cover, but I believe it is from 1991. I know it is very hard to find, differently from the second album that was well spread by HG-Fact.
For you guys that never heard TETSU ARREY, they play the typical Japanese "Burning Spirits" music, a Hardcore Punk with some elements of Rock and Metal. I found a little bit hard to swallow when I've heard the second album for the first time, but after a few listening and even more after seeing them live it became easy to enjoy them. And sure at that time, I didn't have the first album which I believe to be the best one.

GAS - Reincarnation LP '86

This is the only LP released by the Japanese GAS, and compiles the songs from the 7" split EP '84 with Niku-Dan + the 12" EP '85 "Sweet Emotion" + 4 unreleased tracks also from 1985. Different from the previous releases, the music here is more structural, something that will reminds you of Gastunk and there is a reason for it: on Sweet Emotion they count on with the magic guitar of Tatsu from Gastunk. But not to let you down, the next guitarist -Norio- also follows the great wizard delivering great guitar solos. DOWNLOAD HERE:

THE SEXUAL - Complete discography '83-85 CD

A few time ago when I was checking Serotoninronin blog, I came across to a great Japanese band that I've never heard before called At Det, which reminds me a lot of Crow, Kuro and The Sexual. Then I thought, why not post The Sexual discography?
And here we go. You get the first flexi 7" EP "Suicide" from 1984, the second flexi EP "The Last Days" from 1985, the 2 tracks from Jisatsu Compilation 8" EP from 1985 + unreleased studio and live tracks recorded in 1983. And I tell you what: there isn't a single bad track here. This is one of great bands from Japan and probably from Earth. Just wait to hear "The Last Days" song and you'll understand what I'm talking about, it sounds like a soundtrack from a sinister movie. I got the feeling that I've heard that song before.DOWNLOAD HERE:

AGATHOCLES + SHIKABANE - Split 7'' EP '97

While you are reading this, Agathocles is probably releasing a new record and I want more. It's the most profile band putting records out since 1988. Just in the year of 1997 they put out over 15 records between split 7", CD, LP. And I consider this split EP one of their best. For the simple reason that on this record they sound very distinct from other releases, actually they sound in the Shikabane's way, which makes me believe that they got influenced by the Japaneses first 7" EP.
This is the second record from Shikabane and like the first one, it will leave you without breath. Fastpogocore!!!
01 - Bio-Industry Fucked Up Humanity - AGATHOCLES
02 - Just Injust - AGATHOCLES
03 - Macho Crowd - AGATHOCLES
04 - 所業 - SHIKABANE
05 - 無 - SHIKABANE
06 - 仏造って魂入れず - SHIKABANE
07 - 摩訶般若波羅蜜多心経 - SHIKABANE
08 - 欲にきりなし、地獄に底なし - SHIKABANE

V.A. Pinch and Ouch! Compilation LP '85

GAI, GEDON, GESS, NO CUT, AGGRESSIVE DOGS, KURO
I'll be posting some stuff today, but I am not in the mood to write too much, not many feedbacks in the comments area, which makes me less interested to make reviews.
Anyway, here is another great Japanese compilation featuring some well known bands such a GAI and KURO. But don't underestimate the others here, they kick ass too. Like GESS, where you can hear a good production of their songs.
