KOSUKE HASHIDA - Moment Of Silence review


 

KOSUKE HASHIDA - Moment Of Silence

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions


So it's after twelve o'clock at night and I'm listening to this new full length by KOSUKE HASHIDA which is Death Grind. Now the opening cut "The Cultist" was playing and I could hear it playing outside from my office which meant I left the outdoor speakers on. Now previously I've mentioned my outdoor speakers in past reviews. Basically I've got it set up where I can hear my stereo, TV and lamp-top outside via those speakers. 


Earlier today I listening to a podcast and went outside to do some yard work prior to work but I wanted to hear the thing outside.I was running late so while getting ready for work I shut everything off but not totally. So when I decided to check out this new release by KOSUKE HASHIDA well the whole fuckin neighborhood did as well. Ah yeah, whoops on my part. Then again it ain't the first time I've fucked up with the speaker system. But those times might've been deliberate, hint, hint.  


Be that as it may this is the third full length I've heard from KOSUKE HASHIDA. The guy does Japanese Death Grind like I do potato leek soup as a chef. He just has three ingredients and goes to blazes with them. Basically it's diabolical savage riffs, the drum work is insanely punishing and the vocals are flat out pissed the fuck off. 


Three albums in three years is good but I won't say prolific since it's Death Grind. His albums are pretty much the same formula. I just so happen to like the formula. You get fourteen songs on this one which are under two minute short sharp shocks to the system. This album is easily his best of the three. How can he surpass this next year if he comes out with another? All I know is that if you're an Extreme Metal fanatic and want to get your day started. Fuck the coffee just play this. Nuff Said!

ENDLESS DISMAL MOAN - Lord of Nightmare Reissue review


 

ENDLESS DISMAL MOAN - Lord of Nightmare Reissue

Hessian Firm


I am not a fan of Japanese Black Metal. Now I've got a couple of SIGH CDs but overall I saw them as being weird just for the sake of it. ENDLESS DISMAL MOAN from Japan were not weird. The past tense is important because this one man Japanese Black Metal band, the one man being Chaos 9 (aka: Takuya Tsutsui) is dead. He killed himself in 2008 using a gun. So much for those strict gun laws in Japan. Pictured below is what he looked like. 


My first thought while listening to this was imagine Kabooki theater meets Wes Craven. In other words the whole atmosphere Chaos 9 produced on this his debut full length from 2006 is horrific. The tremolo picked riffs are savage as well icy cold and cruel. There's keyboards which add in a symphonic element. The drum work is actually programmed which surprised me because they sound organic. Finally Chaos 9's vocals are a cross between a the shrieks of banshee and a blood curdling vampire bat / human hybrid.  


This is a sickening six song release that will have you liking every second of it while the music destroys your mind or it will be something fun to play to piss off friends or neighbors. I'd choose the latter always because my neighbors are assholes especially the one right nextdoor. Otherwise this is not something that would fit in my wheelhouse. 


But if you're a fan of Japanese Extreme Music then this is a second chance to pick something up by an artist who unfortunately decided to take his own life a few years after it was originally released. You might even consider this a masterpiece. Nuff Said!

KOSUKE HASHIDA - Outrage review


 

KOSUKE HASHIDA - Outrage 

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions


I described this guy's debut album, Justifiable Homicide, from last year as "just short of seventeen minutes of audio Japanese murder mayhem". I'm sure it's still available on HPGD Productions for you to check out which you should for good reason. 


This is Death Grind pure and simple. It's also another great album by Kosuke Hashida from Tokyo Japan , a one man manic when it comes to this type of music. In the past he played guitar for the Death Metal act WORLD END MAN. But nowadays, obviously, he's putting out solo albums where he performs all instruments. 


On Outrage ya got just eleven savage cuts which is really full blown Death Grind with a little Thrash influence. To me it's all about Kosuke Hashida's fuckin guitar riffs which are so evil so crazy diabolical sounding. I mean this is something you wanna hear right before you leave your home to face the world whether it's going to work or to the store. 


All I can say is stick this in my veins! Sick sadistic music is so fuckin cool especially when it sounds so raw. Kosuke Hashida's vocals come across as one pissed off individual who's covered in blood and has a few issues other than the obvious ones you can see.  


So I have to tell ya this. I know I've got a crazy ass smile going on. Then I remember working with this one guy who was telling me about people in the hood who walk around with the "crazy face". Then he would give us this weird facial expresion and me plus the other co-workers would laugh our asses off. So while this album was blasting I went into the bathroom to look in the mirror and holy shit I've got the crazy face. 


So yeah this second full length by Kosuke Hashida rules and it'll give ya the crazy face.

KOSUKE HASHIDA - Justifiable Homicide review


 

KOSUKE HASHIDA - Justifiable Homicide

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions


I know a friend who's heavily into what I'd call "gore cinema". In other words he's a collector of the really sick stuff that's made it's way in film. I remember him once telling me he was into watching a lot of Japanese serial killer films. Hey I didn't know that was a thing. But I believe this is an album that could sum it all up. 


What we have here is just short of seventeen minutes of audio Japanese murder mayhem. This is the debut full length by Kosuke Hashida from Tokyo, Japan. On here he's a one man act performing everything obviously. But from I've learned he was / is a guitarist in a death metal act called WORLD END MAN. I can't say that I'm familiar with them.  


Be that as it may, on Justifiable Homicide Kosuke Hashida has created a slash and burn concoction of death grind which is totally punishing to say the least. Not only should this release contain a warning label. But I'd also add recommended dosage instructions. Repeated listening could result in fits of anxiety as well as paranoia. 


Musically this guy provides a fuckin relentless wall of angry, threatening riffs, punishing drum work and barked vocals. Hell he even finds space to fit in some thunderous bass riffs. I thought that was cool being there's an absence of guitar soloing. So if ya got seventeen minutes to kill (pun intended) this one is definitely recommended for a search. 


What's really funny is the fact that what music I have from Japanese extreme music acts whether they be grindcore, black metal or hardcore. My favorite band from Japan has always been GUITAR WOLF.

CHURCH OF MISERY - Born Under a Mad Sign review


 

CHURCH OF MISERY -  Born Under a Mad Sign

Rise Above Records


I got into Japan's CHURCH OF MISERY mid-way through their career. Houses of the Unholy from 2009 was the second album I picked up from em. And to this day I'll still say it's not only their best album but it's their one release which placed them on the mountain of Stoner Doom. After that I picked up their early recordings as well as newer releases. That Live at Roadburn 2009 release, which actually came out in 2010, is the shit. Since I've never seen the band perform live then that release is the closest I'll evewr get to the band's heyday. And then after all of that everything got not so good.


So the band's next couple of albums, aka: 2013's Thy Kingdom Scum and 2016's And Then There Were None, were not winners in my book. I chalk it all up to line-up changes which doesn't change too much for a band like this. But toss in uninspiring song writing and that leads to boredom. I mean any clown can check out a stoner doom release and be blown away by it. But if you've heard all of the SABBATH-ian bands from the past you kinda want more than smoking some pot and worshipping the riff dude.

 

Which brings me to this latest one from Japan's leaders in the slow SABBATH touch. Honestly it took me five fucking listens to this CD in order to appreciate it. But for openers it's another line-up change thing. Bassist Tatsu Mikami, the band's spengali, is still leading this thing. He brought back Kazuhiro Asaeda, the band's original vocalist (?). As far as guitar and drums go we see the newcomers Fumiya Hattori and Toshiaki Umemura. 


Once again the excitement of what CHURCH OF MISERY once was takes a few songs to kick in. Both "Beltway Sniper" and "Most Evil" are boring and way too long. It's when the third cut "Freeway Madness Boogie" kicks in that the real CHURCH OF MISERY comes to life in 2023. In fact it's this point where the album becomes a winner. 


It's the fuckin boogie jams, the added keyboards and the upbeat excitement. Toss in Fumiya Hattori's blues rock soloing as well as riff frency and Toshiaki Umemura cutting loose on the drums. I mean hell fuckin yeah! I'll never be sold on Kazuhiro Asaeda as a vocalist. In fact I like it better when he's not singing. But in the end (aka: five out of seven songs) this pretty damm good.

PHARMACIST - Flourishing Extremities On Unspoiled Mental Grounds review


 

PHARMACIST - Flourishing Extremities On Unspoiled Mental Grounds

Bizarre Leprous Productions


A few years ago I heard this band's debut full length Medical Renditions of Grinding Decomposition. My first impressions about em came in quick aka: they sound like fuckin CARCASS. Better yet they sounded like the gore / death grind era of CARCASS. Yeah fuck you Heartwork posers!


So here we have this Japanese two piece act's second full length. This is after two years of doing short form releases many of which were splits. Go ahead and be a collector scum's dream. But anyways this new one is just a continuation from their debut. 


Musically yeah the CARCASS homage is still intact but with an added jolt. With this band it's all about the song structures. Sure you've got some damm filthy sounding riffs, barked carnal vocals plus pounding fuckin drums. But then the guitar soloing jumps in for some laser like melody breaks. 


The songs on here are actually long for a gore grind act. Of the seven tracks on here six go past the seven minute mark. Nothing boring or repetitive either in fact there's plenty of room for multiple time changes. There's plenty of head banging melody, head crushing riffs and of course surgically placed soloing. All in all this is amazing.

MORTIFY - Grotesque Buzzsaw Defilement EP review


 

MORTIFY - Grotesque Buzzsaw Defilement EP 

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions


This is the second studio release by Japan's MORTIFY. Supposedly they're a super group but the only person I recognize in the band is guitarist Takuya Koreeda. He use to play bass and scream in COFFINS back in the day. As in yeah on my favorite COFFINS album Buried Death from 2008. 


But what we have here is death grind of the short sharp shock variety. There's twelve tracks on here and most of em under a minute in length. Personally I'd rather hear a full song if you're gonna go the Swedish Death Metal route. But the theme with these guys is simply to rip your head off. If that's your thing then here ya go. I did like the sound bite from the 70's movie The Night Strangler.

MONNIER - Self Titled compilation review


 

MONNIER - Self Titled compilation

Horror Pain Gore Death


There are two camps of people who say they like grindcore. The first one are the actual fans. These are the ones, whether they're new to the genre or have been into it the music ever since the sub genre crawled out from the late 80's hardcore scene, who will tell you the basics. It's loud fast music with someone screaming like a maniac. 


Now in the other camp, and I'll be nice, you have certain types of people who feel the idea of "loud fast music with someone screaming like a maniac" is below their status. They like to invent ideas and themes contrived only by themselves into the music which is just "loud fast music with someone screaming like a maniac". 


I'm part of the first camp aka: fan. I like grind to be loud and fast. I want to hear riffs that are fierce sounding as well as cranking heavy. I like hearing the drumwork as if it were being played by someone with bionic limbs. And of course I want a maniac on vocals. All of that can be heard from this band here. 


MONNIER is a two piece grind band who's members come from opposite sides of the globe. First off there's Jasper Swerts from Belgium who's responsible for the guitars, bass and drums. Jasper's grind style is bare basics but because the production is clean it all sounds fresh. The sound is absolutely old school and killer which is what fans want. 


On vocals there's Makiko Suda from Japan who's also in the death grind act FLAGITIOUS IDIOSYNCRASY IN THE DILAPIDATION. Ah yeah that's a mouthful. But anyways Makiko is an amazing screamer whether she uses her psycho voice, death grunting or those subtle sultry murmurs.





This compilation contains their first two EPs which originally came out in 2018 and 2020. There's sixteen songs with a run time of a little over twenty five minutes. Perfect for some getting ready for work tunes. There's always gonna be some decent grindcore releases to choose from. But every other year there's a standout one. And this is the year and this is the one.

MAUSOLEUM / ANATOMIA - Split review


 

MAUSOLEUM / ANATOMIA - Split 

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions


Like all cool split releases you pick it up for the one band you know and the second one is a present. As for the former, MAUSOLEUM from Pennsylvania are old favorites as far as death metal goes. I got into em back in 2011 with their second full length, Back from the Funeral. They were one of the cooler sounding acts who were part of that unearthing of the old school death metal style. 


Add to that, something really cool was Horror Pain Gore Death Productions releasing the Cadaveric Displays From The Funeral compilation in 2017. That one contained both of the band's full lengths, Cadaveric Displays of Ghoulish Ghastliness from 2003 and 2011's Back from the Funeral. And if that wasn't good enough there was also a few tracks from a couple of splits they did. It's an amazing compilation that I highly recommend, after you get this one of course. 


As far as this split goes you've got MAUSOLEUM starting things off with four new songs. All I can say is it's about damm time since the last thing they did was six years ago. Then again there's been some changes in their line-up. But even with that happening their sound and style hasn't changed. Musically think old INCANTATION plus some classic Midwest DM sound. Their songs on here are fuckin excellent so welcome back fiends.


Next up is ANATOMIA a two piece death doom act from Japan. This is my first time, I think, hearing this band. My initial thoughts after listening to their three songs on here is obviously I've missed out. ANATOMIA have been around since 2002 and have a huge discography. I'm talking full lengths, EPs and a ton of splits. I'm not exaggerating on the number of splits they have out. 


Musically ANATOMIA make COFFINS sound like hipsters and I like COFFINS but these guys are heavy handed filth when it comes to death doom. Their sound is primitive to the hilt of which I'm a fan of. I would not be surprised if they're sporting MORTICIAN tattoos. So as many times before I look at these splits as wrestling bouts. My decision is it's a fuckin tie because these two bands are a perfect pair for a split release. Although I think this year I'm going to spend some time checking out more from ANATOMIA.

SIGNIFICANT POINT - Into the Storm review


 

SIGNIFICANT POINT - Into the Storm

Dying Victims Productions


Well this one shocked my senses like I had just jumped into a frozen lake and that was with the opening cut "Attacker". What we have here people is the debut album by Japan's SIGNIFICANT POINT. They're a five piece act who specialize in true heavy metal sounds from the 80's with a love for speed. I believe they're JUDAS PRIEST fans as well. 


First off this band has a heavy metal falsetto screamer as a vocalist. Half of the time he's perfect while other instances he can be over indulgent and off key. But overall I think he's amazing regardless. I'm a huge fan of heavy metal screamers. But that's not all which is great about this album. 


Musically this band has the twin guitar salvo part down to a science as if they've been doing it for decades. And of course that's where you get the more MAIDEN-esque galloping feel with leads and great rhythms. In fact of the ten cuts on here I think they're all good. SIGNIFICANT POINT does lean into power metal territory which I think is cool. 


All in all you've got some high octane metal touching on the melodic side of things for a good momentum. I just can't help but like this a lot. I grew up in metal with this stuff back in the 80's whether it was top of the bill bands or the second tier greats of the underground. Into the Storm is your get to release for a true metal fix in 2021 and beyond.

GISM - Detestation (Reissue) review


 

GISM - Detestation (Reissue)

Relapse Records


The greatest thing about this reissue is that the average lay-person will finally realize that this 1980's Japanese hardcore band was musically more average than legendary or groundbreaking. A little history for ya, by the late 80's early 90's you'd see people with a GISM patch on their jacket. But they never owned this album nor their second one. Plus their GISM merch was all from bootleg dealers anyway. If they were lucky then they might've had a cassette of the album from a tape trade. As far as certain stories about on stage incidents go in their history. Who cares, ever heard of G.G. Allin?


The fact is that GISM were just a Japanese Hardcore act that a few people here in the states knew about from their one song on a compilation album put out by a fanzine. Honestly they were bigger in England during the late 80's. Mainly since they were producing metal tinged hardcore early on. By 1990 people in the US caught on, especially in the anarcho punk scene or what revisionists call 'crust'. That's about the time when the bootlegs emerged, homemade band patches and t-shirts. 


By the time of the internet, aka: music sites, blogs, mainstream metal media and revisionist history scribes, is when the status of 'legendary' was attributed to GISM. Why you ask? I'm assuming you had hiptards wanting to seem cooler and authoritative than they actually were or deserved spouting bullshit. Seriously when hipsters start talking about the history of 80's punk / hardcore, run. too bad there's no fact check algorithm for them.


So three  paragraphs in and it's time to talk some truth about GISM's debut full length. Musically it's poorly recorded punk rock with some hard rock/metal influenced solos. The vocals fall under the psychotic ramblings category. Back in the day once you gave this a listen you thought OK and then pushed it somewhere to gather dust. There was plenty of better bands to listen to in the 80's anyway especially from the hardcore scene. 


I'm sure when people picked up that Determination compilation back in 2015 they felt the same way. There's only one saving grace for this reissue and that's the fact it's fully-authorized by the two remaining band members. So for once they'll see some yen come their way for their music. Then again aside from the bootleg vinyl copies you know every hiptard probably found this on a download site a decade ago. Plus the three bonus tracks also appear on the Determination comp. But hey you'll just buy a t-shirt so you can look cool.

COFFINS - Defilements 2xCD Compilation review


 

COFFINS - Defilements  2xCD Compilation

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions


So can I just say this is going to be the best compilation of 2021? I mean instead of watching some depressing ball drop at midnight of December 31st, 2020. I was blasting this while taking sips of West Virginia moonshine that a friend gave me the other day for a Christmas present. Yeah I'm easy to buy gifts for. Strangely enough here I am listening to this latest COFFINS release. And yet I still haven't received my copy of the COFFINS/DEPRESSION Split CD which I was hoping would come before today. Oh well maybe next week / next year unless some prick stole it while it was sitting on the front porch.


But anyways here we have something that any COFFINS fan should go apeshit over. Personally I'm an average fan of this Japanese death doom act. I think a couple of their full lengths are cool as fuck. They've been around for over twenty years, with a few line-up changes, banging out their Japanese brand of guttural down-tuned death. But in all honesty they're more into short form releases. I have a few of those but there's just too many out there to keep up with. That's why Defilements is a must have if you're just into the music as opposed to having the product for collecting purposes. I'm one of those types too. I love compilations and reissues with extra tracks. 


So what you have here on Defilements is around two hours of COFFINS' death doom on two CDs. Basically it's all previously released EP material. Supposedly these EPs are all out of print. The first batch of songs are from the band's Craving To Eternal Slumber EP which originally came out on Hammerheart Records five, whoops I mean six years ago. I forgot it's 2021. I'll be screwing up dates a lot now. But what's cool on here for me is that there's a song called "Tyrant" which is also on a COFFINS/ILSA split 12"er I have which came out on Relapse Records in 2016. Trust me "Tyrant" is an OK cut but the rest of the songs are fuckin killer especially "Stairway to Torment" and "An Obscure Pain". It's total CIANIDE worship as in filth ridden death doom.  


Next up you got the cuts from their Noise Room Sessions 2014 7"er which came out in 2016 on the Heavy Metal Vomit Party label. Yeah they're two raw recorded songs and it sounds like it was recorded at someone's basement. It's definitely more of a scum punk style going on here. No wonder it's fuckin rare. After that it's time to head back a few years to their March Of Despair EP from 2012 which was another Hammerheart Records release. These songs are cool because it's like COFFINS are re-invoking CELTIC FROST with a hell of a lot of distortion and a good head banging sludgey feel. One huge highlight is their cover of DEATH's "Corpsegrinder" which is really a destruction of the song. I kinda like it.  


From there it's the band's Sewage Sludgecore Treatment EP from 2012 and originally came out on Bones Brigade Records. This one is an all covers EP although I think in this case butchering is a better term to use then cover. Basically COFFINS stomps the fuck out of songs originally recorded by BUZZOVEN, EYEHATEGOD twice and one's a live version, NOOTHGRUSH (I got the 12" split COFFINS did with them), GRIEF and IRON MONKEY. Personally I look at this as hey let's beat the shit out of our influences. But hey I'm cool with that.


Finally it's their part in the four band compilation Live At Asakusa Deathfest 2016 EP. It's OK stuff but I'd want this since the original EP also has SKELETAL REMAINS on it as well as two other bands. Either way it's a cool sounding set of four familiar tracks (ie: "Here Comes Perdition", "Under the Stench" "Decapitated Crawl" and "Tyrant".) Decent stuff and you wish you were there. In the end like I said opening this write up. Best compilation of 2021, well maybe, it's January and we don't know what's coming next. Like I said earlier if your a COFFINS  fan then you need this one. Uchino, the last original member of the band, has approved of this compilation so there you go.

COFFINS / SECOND TO NONE - Nine Cocoons Of Dens To F split review



COFFINS / SECOND TO NONE - Nine Cocoons Of Dens To F split 

Horror Pain Gore Death Productions




Split releases are like a buy one get another one free item and hope for the best. You pick one up for the band you know and like. Then you hope the flip-side is decent as well. It's a fuckin gamble to say the least. Listening to this feels like I got a two sided coin. 


Let's start with COFFINS a band from Japan that everyone in the death doom fan base should know. I got into them in 2008 with their Buried Death full length. Yeah me and a thousand or so other people. The band was around for a few years already but that release came out on 20 Buck Spin and the hype machine was inviting. Plus I already had the split they did with CIANIDE from a year before. 


Since then the band's brand of sludgey death doom has been consistent. On here their two cuts sound like items borrowed from CIANIDE's kit bag. That's not a bad thing when you're a fan. By the way COFFINS has a full length coming out on Relapse in a month. Now I must admit when the third cut started I didn't know it was SECOND TO NONE, who also hail from Japan. Their brand of extreme is similar to COFFINS. 


This my first time hearing SECOND TO NONE, who are a five piece act and have been around for a decade now. Their two cuts on here are long drawn out exercises in old school death doom with bestial vocals, crushing riffs, decent enough soloing which slices more than tears. They definitely have some sludgey doom influence as well. It's good stuff. If this were a match for the Japanese title I'd have to say the challengers SECOND TO NONE beat the champs.

BUTCHER ABC - North Of Hell review



BUTCHER ABC - North Of Hell 

Selfmadegod Records




I learned about this Japanese band over a decade ago when they did a split with GENERAL SURGERY. Full disclosure, I'm a huge fan of GENERAL SURGERY despite what the hipsters in the metal media say about em. To me they were not a CARCASS clone. On the contrary they filled the gap after CARCASS went to shit. Hearing the the five cuts by BUTCHER ABC, one of which was a CARNAGE cover, was the cherry on the cake.


Fast forward to last year when NEKROFILTH put out a split with this band and hey I must admit BUTCHER ABC - North Of Hell won that battle royal. Which brings us to this full length, their first in a twenty four year career. Welcome to utter filth as far as death metal goes. BUTCHER ABC are the modern equivalent of late 80's Swede death with some groove as well as volcanic vocals. 


There are times when BUTCHER ABC covers you in filthy distorted riffs. Their best times by far. Then just for more fun it's pile-driving drum work  just to keep you a breast to pain. Yeah this band is covered, at their own decision, in death metal rust. We're talking old school DM with a hint of grindcore from their old school days. Are you fuckin worthy?

GUERRA TOTAL/METALUCIFER - Split CD review



GUERRA TOTAL/METALUCIFER - Split  CD

 Forgotten Wisdom Productions


Everyone loves a good split release. Here we have GUERRA TOTAL, from Columbia, South America versus METALUCIFER from Japan. Each band gets five tracks albeit they are older tracks. The Columbians start things off with some generic yet cool sounding speed metal/punk/thrash or whatever the fuck you wanna call it these days. GUERRA TOTAL have been around for ten fuckin years and I've somehow missed out on them. But for some strange reason I think they're on a compilation CD I got buried somewhere. I'm thinking Hells Headbangers but I could be wrong.

METALUCIFER are no stranger to these ears. This is the other band from one of the guys in SABBAT. Total NWOBHM worship, ya gotta love it especially since a couple of these songs are on a release of theirs from the mid-90s. Yeah try looking on Ebay for those gems. Great release here folks.

Rating: 4/5
