MATSUNAGA WAS RIGHT - Kings Of The Deathmatch
Horror Pain Gore Death Productions
Extreme music and Hardcore Wrestling have had a connection for a very long time. Years ago it was underground bands from the punk side of the aisle like ANTISEEN, RANCID VAT and COCKNOOSE (aka: The Confederacy of Scum). Most of those band's albums had songs about wrestlers on em. Plus their live shows had plenty of wrestling shtick.
Some decades later you started to see bands from the metal side of the aisle, mainly thrash and grindcore acts, who showed their love for the sport of kings through their music. Hell I learned a few years ago that hipsters up north in NYC were getting into extreme wrestling. Yeah well how's that fad going? Maybe as long as women's roller derby?
But anyways being a fan of wrestling since I was a kid watching early WCW then NWA and later on ECW it's automatic for me to like any band who's into it as well. Ah but this band goes beyond the realm of US TV wrestling programs. This band takes to the realm where we fans only knew via VHS tapes be they traded for or bought. We're talking Japanese Death Match worship.
This band here, who by the way are from Ohio and play grindcore, name themselves after one of the most famous Japanese extreme wrestlers of all time, Mitsuhito Matsunaga. The band is made up of a singer (if you wanna call it singing) two guitarists and a drum machine.
Now I'm not gonna play word games here. Musically this is fast insane styled grind. We're talking fifteen songs in around ten minutes. It's all about the guitar riffs, screamed vocals and snippets of live wrestling events. Overall, as a grind fan, yeah it's cool. But as a wrestling fan who's into extreme music I'd rather listen to the Confederacy of Scum bands.
Oh and by the way as far as me liking wrestling well here ya go.
Nuff Said.
