B-Strife "S/T" 7" EP - Skeleton, 1985, Japan, (S.R.-002) - $25
Released on the legendary Osaka based label Skeleton Records that put out the Coward & Gasmask 7"s. Ultra-raw and primitive HC with that '80s violent Japcore feel. They were planned to be on the unreleased Skeleton Records comp 8"("Sieg Heil Skeleton") with Gasmask, Crime, and Woodpeckers. 4 tracks incl. "Fuck The Clumsy Metal", "Tears Of '56" etc. These guys must have really hated metal as the chorus part on the song "Fuck The..." goes like "Metal kids, fuck off!!". Rumors that this song is about Randy Uchida from G.I.S.M.

CD. Synapse "Asphyxiation" 7" EP - 1.2.3 Record, 1986, Japan, New/Unplayed, (1.2.3 R-001R) - $45
What a great band... Metallic, heavy and straight-forward HC with a killer dark melody. Reminds me of The Execute, Geizz or Ghoul. Really sharp and solid, yet aggressive and chaotic sounding HC. The gruff vocals are awesome, too. From Osaka and had the two EP's and one flexi out on the band's own label. That's all I know about this band but the music is very essential. All their records are very rare. I managed to score an unplayed old stock copy somewhere in the countryside of Japan. Nice sleeve artwork: http://d.hatena.ne.jp/bitousha/20090207/1233981565

CD. Synapse "No.3" 7" EP - 1.2.3 Record, 1988, Japan, Small insert, New/Unplayed, (1.2.3 Record-003R) - $45
Sounds more punkish than the 1st EP and 2nd flexi. This one is probably even better!

Commented by Ishiya(Forward/Death Side) on the sleeve. Awesome, distorted noise HC from Oita, Kyushu. Distorted vocals and fuzzed-out guitars over the crashing violent HC tunes. Very limited and hard to find 1st EP by this long-running band. Sounds totally different from their past materials like the "Oita City HC" comp tracks on MCR. Recommended for fans of Chaos CH, Dust Noise, Chaos U.K., Disorder or '80s Kyushu noisecore bands like Gai, The Swankys, Confuse etc.

Chaos U.K. "Just Mere Slaves" LP - Selfish, 1986, UK, Orig. Japanese press, (BEL-12001) - $48

Chu-Doku "S/T" 7" flexi - Museum/Blue Complex, 1985, Japan, (BM-87301) - $38
Obscure all-female punk band, sounds very similar to early Nurse or the female vox-era Typhus. Their later stuff sounds more different and poppier, but this 1st flexi is a killer. Released on the same Chiba-city based label that put out the Kyojinbyo 7"s.

Cobra "1984" 7" EP - AA, 1984, Japan, Poster sleeve, (AA-008) - $48

Their earliet recording from 1983(possibly from their 1st demo that's rumored to exist), even before the "Indignation" demo('84) and the "Nuclear Addicts" flexi. Kings World Records put it out on vinyl the four years after. These tracks are ultra-raw and noisy as fuck. Classic Kyushu noisecore at it's best.

Official limited vinyl issue of the legendary 13-track demo tape from '84. Recorded prior to the 1st flexi. One of the best Confuse materials for sure. Self-released on the band's own Anarchy Center and Confuse Records. Killer band photos/artworks on the sleeve!

Hard to find EP by these U.K. 666 punks. Pre-Cress!! Amebix influenced, dark and metallic crust punk. It's the same band that was on the "Bullshit Detector 2" comp. Very rare and sought after 1st EP on Boston Tea Party label from Denmark, known for their releases like "Noget Pa Dansk" and "Lorteland". Unplayed old stock copy!
Note: The sleeve has a 3" mark from peeling of a tape at the bottom part and a few tiny thumbtack holes, otherwise in EX- condition. It doesn't really look that bad at all.

Official discography CD by the first Ecuadorian punk band formed in '86. Contains the '88 demo and the "Piedad" EP.

The singer Ryuji used to be in the legendary bands Disarray, Bitousha and also this great obscure band Mino 5 with Chelsea(Deathside/Paintbox) and Katsuta(Tetsu-Arrey). The other Dessert members were/are in Sekinin-Tenka, Bloodberry(ex-G-Zet), Idiot Idolaters, Laughin' Nose, The Pogo, Kenzi & The Trips etc. As you can imagine from their background, these guys sure know what they're doing and you know what to expect from Dessert. 120% Burning Spirits style traditional metallic Japcore ala Death Side, Judgement, Crude, Nightmare, Warhead, Forward etc. Awesome throaty vocals as well. They did a great Disarray cover on the other release. This 4-track EP is a totally heavy-hitting smasher. The vinyl looks amazing, too. It's on a clear vinyl with some clear pink parts mixed. Comes in a glossy perforated package/sleeve(unopened).

Dilenma "S/T" 7" EP - Armored Brain, 1995, Japan, (ABR-002EP) - $35
Fucking amazing band!!! In that good ol' dark metallic Japcore style ala Ghoul, Zouo, Rapes, G.I.S.M., Geizz or A.T.-Det, but Dilenma played their songs much faster with more thrashy, razor-sharp guitar riffs. Think of late Ghoul, Demolition or Rapes. Killer gruff vocals reminds me of Masami! The special thanks list includes Rapes, The Gaia, ex-Freedom singer etc. Definitely one of my top 10 favorite '90s Japanese HC records! Yes, I personally dig this style so much.

Dirge "Scarred Forever" 12" - Crust War, 2006, UK, Japanese release, Booklet, (Crust War-029) - $5
Thrashy and dark '80s UK Anarcho hardcore/crust. The studio demo and live materials on vinyl. Really great obscure band.

Originally released as the demo in '88. Old Swedish boot.

Doku-Buta(Poison Pig) "Go! Go! People" 7" flexi - Self, 1985, Japan, (No. Cat #) - $55
Think of a cross between Aburadako, Kikeiji, and The Stalin. If you like these bands, you'll love Doku-Buta! Another unknown but awesome ADK/The Stalin worshipped hard punk here. They even stole part of The Stalin lyrics and used it in one of their songs called "Egoist". The band bio printed on the sleeve says Doku-Buta is ex-Byogentai. I wonder if it's the same Byogentai that the L.S.D. singer was in! Includes 7 tracks. Very rare!! Here's a review taken from an old MRR issue: "Translating as "Poison Pig," I expected a bit more weirdness than supplied, but this slab of plastic contains some neat tracks. They can do thrash, punk, proto-punk -- all with verve and gnarly-ass vocals and guitar. Reminds me a bit of early PERE UBU."

Dread Yankees "Killer" 7" flexi - Adventure Family/Luv, 1989, Japan, Label mailorder flyer, (LUV-I) - $5
Very cool, fast and melodic U.S. style hardcore with the F.V.K. singer. Recommended for fans of SiC or F.V.K.

Final "Grow Strong/Empty" 7" EP - Crust War, 2004, Japan, Insert, (Crust War-025) - $6
ex-Final Bloodbath. Discharge/Broken Bones inspired HC with the metallic and thrashy, Bones style guitars. Good!

The insert says: A self-released tape-only project. A compilation of live, exclusive, rare and unreleased tracks from Fucked Up and FU-World bands.

G-Zet "S/T" 12" - ADK, 1984, Japan, Never issued w/ insert, (ADK-14A) - $90
The legendary band featuring Tam(The Stalin, Typhus, ADK Records), Pill(Lip Cream) and Keigo(The Stalin, Masturbation, The Star Club, Warriors). G-zet had the various singers including Achy from L.S.D. and Hiromi from Bitousha/Rebel(after changing the name to Bloodberry). All the three members do the vocals on this 12". Killer Mötorhead influenced, high-energy violent HC. Fucking brilliant.

G.I.S.M. "Human Condition" LP - Absolute Power, 1995, Japan, Clear blue marbled vinyl, Booklet, Glued info sheet on inner sleeve, New/Unplayed, (Japan 2) - $65

G.I.S.M. "SoniCRIME TheRapy" CD - Beast Arts, 2001, Japan, Ltd 1st press w/ hard carton box package, No sticker, (LUV-514) - $90

Gai "1981-1985" Cassette - Violent Party, 1985, Japan, "Swankys History!" 2-sided insert included, (Violent Party No.?) - $60
Insanely rare and nearly impossible to find, cassette-only release. It's the original, the real deal. The sleeve spine says "History of GAI!". Came out around the time the "Very Best of Hero..." LP was released right after Gai changed back the name to The Swankys(Gai actually started as The Swankys in '81, then had to change the name to Gai in '83 due to being banned by the local clubs). Comes with a "Swankys History!" insert where Sieg-Heil is also mentioned. Not all copies came with one. Compiles the 17 various studio demo tracks, plus 1 unlisted bonus(?) track which is supposed to be called "Yes! Future". Some of the songs are completely unreleased and can be only heard on this tape. Also, as far as I know, all the tracks are unreleased, exclusive version to this tape and wern't taken from the other demos or the flexi. The "Damaging Noise" demo(Violent Party No.1) is from '83, so I'm guessing that some of the tracks on this tape were recorded even earlier and possibly their oldest materials. Violent Party was Gai's own label that also put out their other demos, Sieg-Heil, No Cut, Gess demos, "Violent Party Omnibus" etc. It was also reffered to the group of a bunch of local punks around Gai organizing the gigs in Kyushu(Hakata area), among with SS Company and Kuro's KPP Records.

Gas "The Day After" 7" flexi - Jisatsu Label, 1984, Japan, w/ "Why" newsletter insert, (GL-002ES) - $78
Just a few infos on the insert. Not all the copies of this Gas flexi or any other Jisatsu Label releases came with the newsletter insert. As far as I know, only the mailorder copies did. This one is a nice, large size fold-out insert with the band photos, bio, label news etc.

Gasatsu(Crime Fighter) "Rude Beat" 7" EP - ADK, 1984, Japan, 1500 pressed, (ADK-19E) - $48

The drummer also played in L.S.D.(on their 1st flexi) and another member was in Nira-Kodomo. Contains the 9 tracks(!!) of rough and speedy Punk/HC tunes.

Gasatsu(Crime Fighter) "Border Line" 7" EP - Neo Family, 1986, Japan, New/Unplayed, (Neo Family 009) - $35
This 2nd EP is actually harder to find than the 1st EP on ADK Records.

Gastunk "Heartful Melody Four Islands Tour '86" Book - Love/Music Vision, 1986, Japan, Full color covers, (No Cat. #) - $45
Glossy tour book/program contains tons of awesome early live photos etc. Only sold during their '86 tour where the "To Fans" EP was given away. Professionally made with thick, slick pages. VERY fucking rare.

Gendou Missile "Attarimeeyo" 7" EP - Hold Up/Noise Room, 1986, Japan, (NRR-E012) - $25
Awesome hard drivin' Japanese punk with gruff vocals! Fucking great band, great EP. Cool yakuza-ish lyrics as well. This is probably the least known Hold Up/Noise Room release outside of Japan. Max from Ghoul is listed on the Special Thanks list. Gendou Missile used to play with both Japcore style and punk rock bands.

Genoli "No Identity" 7" EP - Self, 198?, Japan, (No Cat. #) - $25

Only the limited quantity of the mailorder copies came with a color sticker(band logo & mohawked skull) and/or a t-shirt mailorder flyer insert. The ones that's complete with both are pretty rare. Classic 2nd EP by this legendary Japcore band.

Gil "To Us Conflict Is Not Important" 7" EP - Self, 1988, Japan, Poster sleeve, LP-size folded insert, (LM-2010) - $40
This EP is much, much better and sounds waaaaay more HC than their 1st flexi. Can't believe it's the same band... What you get here is 120% raging, late '80s Selfish Records style Japcore at it's best!! Really powerful stuff. This 2nd EP is pretty hard to come by, and is rarely seen for sale.

Griffin FZ "Retaliation" 7" flexi - Self, 1989, Japan, (Otoko-001) - $78
Pre-Zone!! Obscure Shizuoka-city Japcore band. This flexi is very rare and hard to come by. The only ever release by them besides a great split demo with Exdead. Heavy-hitting, speedy and metallic Japcore in the tradition of those great '80s Shizuoka-city bands(Deadless Muss, So What, Rustler, Innocents etc.)

Fucking killer band!!! Pre-Apatia. Definitely one of my favorite '80s Polish HC records. Ultra-raw, noisy and brutal HC with intensely distorted guitar like early Brazilian or Finnish bands. This should appeal not only to Polish HC fans, but also to those who dig any Scandinavian, Italian, Brazilian and Japanese HC/Crust as well!! Man, this is seriously some powerful ripping shit!! Released on a Swiss label. Unplayed old stock copy of this rare obscure EP.

Hakuchi "Gods Disturb" 7" EP - Overthrow, 1993, Japan, Insert, (Overthrow-006) - $45

Rare 1st EP and this is the very first Dan-Doh release. Featuring Souichi(Forward, ex-Gudon) on vocals/bass. This EP is much better than their tracks on the split with Disclose or any of the later releases.

Izumo Punks "S/T" 7" flexi - Izumo Punk, 1988, Japan, w/ sticker, New/Unplayed, (Izumo Punk Records-0001) - $25
I bet nobody has ever even heard of them. I myself discovered this great unknown band very recently. According to the band biography printed inside the sleeve, these teenage punks from Izumo city, Shimane prefecture, decided to do the recording just a day after(!!) forming the band on Aug. 30th '88 and release this flexi the following month even before playing the first gig on Oct. 2nd '88. What you get here on this gem is the 100% pure, raw, fast-paced, powerful yet catchy-as-hell, hard drivin' '80s Japanese style punk rock. When you listen to these songs, you can kinda imagine how these young punks with full of energy just wanting to start out something "new" in the shitty country side where there wasn't a big scene, grab the instruments and start screaming the same day they thought of it. What I heard is that these guys were active locally and invited the bigger name bands from the major cities like Lip Cream, Death Side, Tetsu-Arrey, Gudon, S.O.B. to their small town to play the gigs there. I know nothing about the Izumo punk scene except there's one of those old MCR city comp's called "Izumo City HC". The first time I heard this flexi, I just fucking loved it. The silly ass drawings on the cover artwork and bonus sticker too. I was lucky enough to have my friend get in touch with a friend of an ex-band member's and obtained several remaining old stock copies that they tried to get rid of(took me a while and lots of work during this process though). Once these are gone, they're gone for good.

Kriminela 83 "S/T" 7" EP - Pogo 77, 1997, Japan, 2 x insert, (Pogo 4) - $25
Fucking high-speed raw noisecore!!! They play faster than any other noisecore bands that I can think of. Kinda like Dislike or early Disorder playing their songs much faster and with high tension. Good stuff. Last copy available. Review taken from the Damaging Noise blog: " '90s-ish speedy Jap noisecore. I'm pretty sure they preferred Gai to S.O.B., but this gets pretty fast."

Kyaah "Slapdash" 7" EP - AA, 1985, Japan, Die-cut sleeve, Insert & sticker, (AA-011) - $40
Great 2nd EP by one of the most well known all-female punk bands in Japan. Their later releases sound poppier and aren't that exciting but the first two EP's are awesome! What you get on this EP is speedy and high-energy punk that's similar to the Nurse flexi, Typhus '80 demo(w/ female vox), or Chu-Doku flexi. Guest chorus by the members from Lip Cream, Bloodberry, and Laughin' Nose. The interesting thing is that when they changed the singer prior to this EP release, Chitose(The Comes) was gonna join the band however that never happened(too bad!). Complete copy with an insert and a red sticker which is actually part of the sleeve design(a sticker appear thru the die-cut window).

Kyoaku-Kyojindan "No!" LP - Taiyo, 1988, Japan, Insert, (LEO-051) - $55
Very, very rare and awesome 1st LP by this cult Japanese HC band. They play dark, aggressive and violent HC/Punk with a definite The Stalin("Mushi"-era) or some ADK influence on this 19-track album. Intensely noisy tunes and crazy lyrics, too. This LP is way better than any of their other releases for sure. Featuring Crazy SKB who runs Satsugai Enka Vinyl and also was/is in the bands like Headwasher, Hi-Technology Suicide, QP Crazy etc. Amazing insane artwork by the legendary manga artist Suehiro Maruo(!!!), who also did The Stalin "Mushi" artwork. Guest appearance by Machizo Machida from Inu and Juntaro Yamanouchi from Gerogerigegege.

(L.S.D.) V.A. "Lunatic" 7" EP - Lunatic, 1986, Japan, (TD-001) - $110
Datsustora / Criminal Party(L Project) / MEP / Freaks - This ultra-obscure comp was produced by the L.S.D. singer Achy and also it was released on his label Lunatic Records. Contains the three different bands that he did vocals for(he's credited as Elle), plus one unknown band called Freaks. Datsustora's music is in the vein of ADK style dark, hard and twisted punk mixed with some noise/avant-garde. They also have a very rare flexi out on Lunatic Records(the songs on this flexi sound similar to Byogentai, which is another band he did around the same time as L.S.D.). I love their stuff. Freaks are the female fronted, dark and solid punk that's similar to Masturbation, Aka, or Kikeiji. Killer tune on this comp. I absolutely have no infos on this band, but would love to hear more from them. MEP consisted by Achy and Morikawa from ZOA, and they were mostlikely the studio-only project for this EP. Total violent mix of noise/experimental/goth/industrial/punk/noisecore. Awesome distorted vocals. Crazy shit! Criminal Party is actually a bit known in the Japanese underground noise/avant scene and there are some cassette-only releases besides the tracks on this comp. This one is plain noise/experimental stuff, similar to what Sakevi used to do under the name of S.K.V., with no punk/hardcore essence in their tunes(unlike the other three bands). This EP is rare as fuck. Great sleeve artworks. It's not very known that the L.S.D. singer had the other bands besides Byogentai.
