Oh this truly is insane stuff. I can't figure out which artist is responsible for which track as the artwork is a bit confusing. The cartoon on the front is really funny. What is blasting out at the speakers is punked-up thrashed-out Japanese metal lunacy that's sort of somewhere between Melt Banana, Carcass/Napalm Death, An Albatross, The Locust, Painkiller/Naked City, early Boredoms and as Business Lady Suggests stuff on the old Slap a Ham label. So expect an intense ride of short and powerful songs all really fun and a bit stupid. Loads of screeching vocals and ridiculously dynamic arrangements. Certainly some awesome technical ability on display here. Fully mental!

absolute fucking madness!!! Osaka Gunk/No-Skool-Noyzcore absurdity Himtsu King contrast Noisegrind/Noise with extreme Avant-Garde Progressive Contemporary Fusion. fantastically skilled musicians encompassing live bass, drums, distorted FX stippled guitars, preposterous vocals, a Keyboard player & Strentorian (Noise player utilizing FX pedals & Metals) expertly expel
a screw-ball panoply of off-kilter, polyrhythmic, labile, epileptic "fast progressive junk", meaning an aggregation of Grind/Noisecore, Japanese Punk/HC/Fastcore, J-pop, computer game music (albeit played live), Harsh & Psychedelic Noise, common Fusion & Progressive Rock 70's Avant-Garde plus their own unique home-grown contortions. will delight fans of "mad Japanese shite" to dangerous proportions as well as fans of Ruins & Melt Banana, & also folks that feel Ruins & Melt Banana are overrated & don't push the "recepticale" far enough.

as if that was not enough far Eastern anomaly for the day here comes the unthinkable Bollock Swine! a Korean, Japanese & Taiwanese Gunk megalith kicking out the most ferocious Noisegrind spastic Breakcore FreeJazz oblivion. i mean this stuff is just TOO much! for the surface-dwellers you would relate this incomparable rumpus to the likes of AxCx, Merzbow & the hardest Breakcore vinyls available, to those that have delved deeper into the Noisegrind abscess you would mention bands like Asscavern, World, Jet Jaguar KR3KillSpree, Wage-Slave Exchange etc. unbearably fast & berserk blasting unreasonably-distorted Avant-Garde Noisegrind propelled by incredible musicanship with, get this, tons of drunk Asian girls screaming there heads off at the same time! they also hook up with Japanese Harsh Noise titan Yasutoshi Yoshida from Government Alpha & Minzo Shiroma from "sweet sounds of the burning child", as if things y' know, weren't over-board enough already, & use tons of Manga samples & other madness. this beauty will put everything else to shame...LUDICROUS!!!

still alive? Final Exit, one of Tokyo's longest running Noisegrind bands is here to dole-out more of there distinguished & utterly hilarious No-Skool-Nozcore transmogrified with..well, normal music? so surfs up abruptly turns into the end of the world in there deranged stop-start Noisegrind farrago.

finally, just in case any one in protective gear still has a faint pulse, Crovac from USA interpose each of the aforementioned acts & start & close this CD with 30 second WarpBlastBlurMachineGrind

immolation that makes Agoraphobic Nose-Bleed look like Christian Rock!

released by those rogues at Jigokuki/Lofiordierex, this 35 track CD comes on an amazing giant card, with outstanding original artwork & design, printed on recycled card with bio-degradable inks. it simply doesn't get any more fucked-up than this, period!!!
