Anhedoni, Remiso – Split Cassette.

 

Anhedoni and Remiso both from Malmö, teams up for a brilliant split tape release.

Anhedoni keeps their crusted dark way of pumbeling d-beat to what they do superbly, easily compared to a lot of metalic crusters from out the of the 90:ties.

Remiso delivers a metalic thrasy way of old-school rawpunk in the south-american way. Sung in Portuguese and delivered in a punk as fuck way of rawpunk mangel.

Both bands covers one song from each others songs to make this even more of the split.

Not Enough Records/ Bullwhip Records released February 13, 2019.

ROCKY & THE SWEDEN - CITY BABY ATTACKED BY BUDS - CD Japan only.

Pre-order - Released on August 8, 2019, the 7-inch was sold out on the same day, and ROCKY & The SWEDEN, which raised the signal of a complete revival, will return for the first time in 19 years. The full-length album is finally released! !

You know HARDCORE GRASS HOPPERS, ROCKY & The SWEDEN. Both "TOTAL HARD CORE" and "GOD SAVE THE GREEN" left by them are counted as important works in the hardcore world, and are still often cited as favorites both in Japan and overseas. Since the latest work of such ROCKY & The SWEDEN will be released, there will be no choice but to appreciate and enjoy it.

First of all, through the album, the "Rocky-ness" that everyone expects is settled right in the middle. As a new element derived from that, the guitar work of new member KAZUKI SWEDEN should be noted. The harmony that pops out in the opening intro of "VOICE" recorded in the 2nd track must be shocking. In addition, "GREEN RIOT" and "WEED WEED WEED" recorded on the 7-inch released as a stepping stone for this work are also included, but there are some minor changes, so please listen to them and compare them. And in "UNITE & WIN", which decorates the end of this album, CAPTAIN "KOBA" SWEDEN sang a big circle. The album has a lineup that allows you to firmly savor both sides of things that have been new over the years and things that have not changed. The eye-catching jacket image is by OKANO MASATO, an up-and-coming artist living in NY. Also, like the 7-inch, I would like to pay attention to the homage to the album title. A truly "Total Hard Core" piece that packs everything they have into rabbits and horns has been completed here.

Hardcore Grass Hoppers, ROCKY & The Sweden release full length album in 19 years!! Their another two albums "TOTAL HARD CORE" & "GOD SAVE THE GREEN" are well known as world's hardcore classics for a long time.

Yes, this album is right that you expect. But you can feel change a bit from some songs. It's because of new member, KAZUKI SWEDEN(ex-VIVISICK). You will be blasted by his thrilling guitar play

. painting is by Okano Masato in NYC. And you can find R&S's respect to hardcore originators from album title. Anyway, here's their "Total Hard Core" album coming!!

03. PEOPLE VS GOVERNMENT

EYESCREAM - THE END - Complete Discography - CD Japan only.

Pre-order - Discography CD of EYESCREAM, the treasure of Sendai, who gathered a lot of attention in a very short period of time from their formation in 2018 to their last live in 2019, but disbanded!

The 1st cassette tape, which was released in an almost unknown state, spread widely from the word-of-mouth level to the whole country and the world. The sound, which includes plenty of 80's hardcore taste, had a striking impact on this era. The vocals that screamed out a strong message with bare emotions were also terrifying, showing off their ability to be a hot topic.

As a solo sound source, he has released two cassette tapes, NO NO NO, and a 3-way split with menstrual blood, but all of them are currently difficult to obtain and soaring. This work is a complete discography that includes all of those sound sources and almost all the live sound sources at Nishi-Yokohama EL PUENTE on August 11, 2019, which unfortunately became a dissolution live.

NO EXCUSE - You Fuckin' Die - 7" + download code - Japan only /300.

 Pre-order - Released on Sunday, April 23, 2023, limited to 300 copies only with download code.

 blitzcore.bigcartel.com

STRAIGHT AHEAD HARDCORE PUNK and "NO EXCUSE" will release their first independent 7-inch record. Limited edition of 300 copies!

NO EXCUSE, who has steadily beaten up with each release, has finally produced a solo 7-inch. While following the simple but hooky hardcore sound that was heard in the 2nd album, the songs are suitable for decorating the 1st EP with speed and power. An excellent work that makes full use of his well-established live performance, which has matured in his career.

And the title songs of this work, "You Fuckin' Die" and "JSR", were written with the theme of two skaters, YUDAI HOSHINO and Kento Yoshioka. VERDY, who has been involved in the artwork since the early days of NO EXCUSE and now travels around the world as a world-famous artist, is in charge. I want you to experience the closely connected street culture.

With a download code that is friendly to digital users. It's going to be a limited quantity, so please hurry up.

 REVIEW :

Around 2017, many of you may have heard of SKITKLASS, which mutated. Wearing a mask that looks like SM, these crazy guys dropped their works in quick succession in just a few years and took the underground scene by storm. In the midst of all this, the era of the corona disaster that has destroyed the world has arrived. It seems that there was no human being in this world who didn't succumb to that kind of instigation, and the fact that that SKITKLASS mask also allowed the virus to intervene was a bit reassuring in an episode that felt human.

TERRIBILIS was newly launched by the members of SKITKLASS in the midst of the irresistible stormy seas. It seems that they borrowed the scientific name of the golden poison frog. When I heard the origin of the band name, the image of the sound matched perfectly. I had a bit of an intellectual image of SKITKLASS, but when I first listened to TERRIBILIS, I was blown away. It popped out with the whites of its eyes peeled back, as if it had activated the mode reversal and the secret code "THE BEAST". and black. Black everywhere. In my personal image, it's "white / KURO", or "SEXUAL", it's "that" atmosphere. I don't know what they are thinking. But be careful. They are ferocious.

ARTIFICIAL JOY - 100% PURE JOY - CD Japan only.

Since their 2019 cassette release and their beloved 7" split with SKITKLASS, LA's ARTIFICIAL JOY have long been on Japan's radar. And now, we are pleased to announce, ARTIFICIAL JOY has released their 1st album!

blitzcore.bigcartel.com

They're here! Make way for ARTIFICIAL JOY!

It's gonna feel like the gates to a long-locked room are getting busted open when they start their set. I don't know, but I think it means we're free to be ourselves now.

Do you find yourself questioning your daily life, like you don't belong, like you're held back by something you can't shake off? Are you kind of a killjoy? Are you addicted to social media's cycle of bullshit negativity? Are you reading this like, no, what the fuck. Whatever it is, whoever you are, you need ARTIFICIAL JOY.

Listen, dance, drown in ARTIFICIAL JOY. Let their music sink in and talk about that other shit later. The guitars are commanding and solid, like they're leading a squadron of troops. The bass and drums rush in and heat up the instrumentals. And at the very top, these fearless, rabid vocals full of all sorts of expressions, blaze like a banner for the songs. An explanation wouldn't do them justice, they're just wow. Wow. Michiaki (The Last Survivors)

BAREBONES - ZERO - CD Japan only.

 Japan's world-class R&R HARDCORE PUNK, BAREBONES, will release their 3rd album 15 years after the previous album.

blitzcore.bigcartel.com

"Ultimate" is often the simplest, and a three-piece rock band is one of them. Barebones has always been walking in the middle and has been sharpening himself. The dynamically engraved 8 beat penetrates the core as an unwavering backbone. The combination of the raging bass and the highly flexible guitar is the skill that only the three of them have cultivated over many years. Simple but never mediocre. It's a royal road, but don't forget the sensational. With this work, Barebones presents one of the achievements of modern hardcore punk rock to the world.

Crunk - Demo 02 - CD - Japan.

  blitzcore.bigcartel.com

Crunk's "Demo 02" is now available. One of the most exciting bands today, their 7" "Demo 01" sold out immediately after its release in April 2021. The re-release on CD followed suit, reaching a 3rd press while selling out across the board. The band gained its reputation through a steady stream of live shows, proving positive rumors to be true. With the release of their recordings, their popularity overseas has only increased. Crunk creates a sense of present-day hardcore by leaning into hardcore of the past but combining that with their freedom of expression. Like their previous work, Crunk's old school sound can be heard at the forefront, yet also provides a kind of profoundness. This release surpasses demo quality and teases the potential of future releases.
