HUMAN GAS "Super Violence Hardcore '84-89" Boxset 2 x red with black splatter vinyl LP + CD + DVD.
Double LP + CD + DVD + book + extra casewrapped box. A work of love and dedication, the result of an incredible journey from the FOAD headquarters to a remote country-town in the middle of the Hokkaidō island, northern Japan, to meet the band members and put together the most exhaustive collection of all their available recordings, spanning from 1985 to 1987. Here you get the ultra-complete discography of HUMAN GAS, including a lot of unreleased material.. Musically, this is some of the rawest and most violent Hardcore ever spawned from the darkest lairs of the '80s Japanese underground. Tracks from the split 7" with Stali Nism (1985), "Noice and Hardcore" 1st Demo (1986), "Explosives" 2nd Demo (1986), tracks from "Street Punk in Obihiro" Omnibus tape (1986), "Lack luster" 3rd Demo + extra studio songs (1987), unreleased studio jam session with members of Human Gas + Stali Nism + Middle Class (1987). Plus there's an extra CD with a soundboard live take from 1986 that sounds killer, assorted live recordings 1986-1987 and an instrumental version of their cult Demo "Explosives". And to complete the massacre, you'll also find a DVD with two complete live sets (their only gig in Sapporo, "Bessie Hall", 1987 and one in Obihiro's "Rocking Hall", 1987) showing these raging maniacs in action. 79 TRACKS!! All this mastered from 1st generation sources provided by the band, transferred and restored with total care and attention to detail at Toxic Basement Studio. Trifold jacket housed in a casewrapped outer boxset, 24 page full colored booklet with loads of rare photos, flyers, memorabilia and some brief liner notes put together talking with the band members. Named after a Kuro song, Human Gas were the most destructive and iconic Northern Japan's answer to the noisy and violent Noise/Punk scene that was growing in the opposite side of the country with bands like Gai, Confuse and Kuro themselves.. Add the fact that their songs were more structured, solid and as the title of this anthology suggests: violent. The Hokkaidō area is definitely one of the most fascinating and mysterious when it comes to early pioneers of the Japanese Hardcore panorama.. L.S.D., 畜生, Slang, Tranquillizer, Deef, , F.U.P., Gaizin, Napalm, Noise-Decay and many more were all based there. Human Gas still stands as one of the most respected names for their genuine anger and the highly original and influential musical approach.
