Japanese Thrash?
 

Does anybody have any recommendations for some good Japanese thrash......the heavier and weirder the better.

Thanks!

Can you name a few western bands in the genre that you're looking for, just for guidance sake? I'm not entirely sure what counts as thrash any more.

Hmmm, I'd say Slayer/Sodom/Sepultura/Motorhead sounding thrash?? With weird jammy freakouts if possible!!;)


Wait, I think I just described the new band that I want to start....he he.

Sabbat are the only one I know. Weird waaaaaay over the top blackened thrash (or trashed black metal?)

Give High Rise a try. Not exactly what you're looking for, but monumentally excellent anyway.


High Rise - Disallow


High Rise - Desperado


High Rise - Live

Volcanic Tongue's High Rise stocklist


Mainliner (High Rise offshoot) - Imaginative Plain

You might find some japanese thrash here, but it's mostly punk.

High Rise are a good call.There's a band called Do Thank Anal that i've known for some time but i never seem to be able to find much information about them even on the internet.

I was going to recommend Sabbat as well.
Pretty weird and prolific band, but be prepared for screechy vocals.


High Rise are one of the best bands ever.

it seems no one in japan or the west calls it "thrash" because it's actually an amalgam of sounds that pretty much go from hardcore to grindcore to crust to crossover; most call it japanese hardcore, but it's very thrash and more extreme than most thrash anywhere else:

s.o.b.
deathless mass
deathside
lipcream
rose rose
gauze
fuck on the beach

i recently got a bunch of these on tape from a trade, i also got a tape with 4 bands, i don't know if all of them are japanese but:

outo
suffle
chicken bowels
googol plex

peelander z are punk and not thrash, but they're a whole lot of fun if they ever come to a town near you:

Gauze amazing band... SOB, Lipcream, Outo the 4 way comp pushead did mid 80's is a kickass 12" if you can find that.. Hellchild sways a bit more metal but a good band for sure.. Warhead, Forward, Rocky and the Sweden, Zenigeva is an amazing band but a bit more metal noise stuff... bathtub shitter is more grind but cool saw them recently actually on a US date.

these bands are japanese, fast, loud, heavy, crazy and great

gore beyond necropsy
bathtub shitter
melt banana
200 mph

D: you just posted for me...

hey couldn't open any of the .rar files on the japanese blog, it has like a password or something but the site says file not found anymore
anyways, seems interesting all those bands

hey Krastian try Guitar Wolf, the holy shit around that sound, its not specifically trash, or grindcore, but the sound will resume anything yr looking for, for real Zeni Geva also, or Melt Banana

Awesome, thanks for the ideas!!

U.F.O Or Die? not thrash, but thrashy.

Melt Banana are fucking great indeed.

sorry, i forgot:

systematic death
swarrrm
mortalized


although the last two lean more towards grindcore than thrash.

I used to collect this stuff pretty heavily. I was practically subscribed to certain distros to sell me one of everything...for years. And I lived off selling this collection for a whole year after the dot-com bust.

I second the recommendation of Lip Cream, Deathside, Rose Rose, SxOxB, and Outo.

I'd like to add...

S.D.S.
Voidd
Paintbox
Unwise
Slight Slappers
Exclaim
Toast
Ego Fix
Vivisection
Shikabane
DxRxY
Flash Gordon

While it wasn't until the mid-80's that most North American bands on the punk side of the punk/metal divide would incorporate metal elements (e.g. D.R.I., Desecration, the Accüsed, etc.), in Japan, there was no such taboo, and as early as G.I.S.M. in 1981, there was thrashy metallic HC punk that was very much "punk" in ethos.

Woo!!!

I can't beleive I've omitted this:



Once again, not thrash, but stunning anyway.

what's this? united colors by benediction?

Thanks for that one!I've only had the time to listen up to the second track and it's wicked!I'll put it on again tonight but i have a few records that i've bought recently to catch up with too.

One Love in metal!!!

Outo is Japanese :)

There's also Confuse. I did have a couple songs by them but they've disappeared?

V/A - JISATSU OMNIBUS- 8" Comp. EP (Jisatsu Records, Japan, 1984)

 

 

Totally classic but sort of unknown Japanese comp. Released on the lovely 8" size and featuring hit after hit from SEXUAL, CONFUSE, ZIGA (written in japanese letters) and M-78.
You'll get the regular japanese dose of brutal, melancholic, sometimes metallic thrash. SEXUAL had one or two flexis, CONFUSE are among the most popular japanese bands (I've had the bands debut here already - check the search function) and ZIGA and M-78 are unknown to me, besides these fine tracks here. Check m-78's guitar solo at the end of the song - incrediblle, total GASTUNK style! You will probably know the CONFUSE songs from the german "Atrocious Madness" Bootleg 7", btw.

There was a follow-up to this, on Hold-up Omnibus Records, in 8" size as well, with live recordings of SYSEMATIC DEATH, GHOUL and others, but it's nowhere near the quality of this collectible babe.

SEXUAL: Devil Reversion.mp3
SEXUAL: The End approaches.mp3
CONFUSE: Atrocious Madness.mp3
CONFUSE: Kill the .....mp3
CONFUSE: Hunger.mp3
ZIGA: Out of Place.mp3 / Minded child.mp3
M-78: [japanese title].mp3

yes, on closer inspection, from that four way tape i have, all of the bands are japanese. suffle are oi! though, japanese oi! is pretty funny.

Did you listen to that comp, krop? How is it? The cover is great.

Great thread! My favourite Japanese 'thrash' bands are: gudon, SOB, outo, lipcream, deadless muss, damnable excite zombies, slight slappers, nightmare, mutant, mind of asian, ghoul, zouo, gauze, gai, paintbox, dudman, googolplex, chicken bowels, unholy grave, asbestos, dead cops, inzest, warhead, judgment, LSD and the bones

check the japanese section on www.7inchpunk.com. For an endless supply of top stuff.

Well worth it but i'll have to give it a few more spins.

Edit - That was directed at Krastian.

the only japanese thrash band i am familar with is gauze, but they are great. highly recommended. great thread also, gotta remember to check out some of these names...

Ahhh yes, EMMAh posted this link a while back, but I never checked out the Japanese section.....good call.

Cool! I love thrash and I love japanese music. Downloading that compilation right now, can't wait to hear it.
Also, from briefly glancing through this thread, I've developed an interested in Fuck On The Beach. Any suggestions where I should go with them?

^I guess I'd check out Fastcore on the Beach first.
