sweet, i will be looking forward to seeing coffins in my relapse grab bag

first thing that went through my mind.

Only being on 20 Buck Spin is real

Japanese death/doom? That's new to me. All I know them for is brutal death metal and the occasional thrash metal band.

band has been killing it for ages. lets not forget all the quality crusty hardcore/grind that japan puts out.

What's wrong with the Chris Moyen artwork?

I think I need more exposure.

I'll go to any show with a band from Japan on it because bands from Japan always kill it EVERY time when they play live. They are well practiced and excellent performers with wild antics that surpass most, if not all others. This is especially true for any hc/grind I've seen.

Here's an example of what I mean:

bennyhillifier

And as a note, every country has most of the same scenes we have here so if you don't know about it, poke around.

while i agree with you mostly, all i can think of is that jap band that played NEDG fest2. worst live show ever.

I will fight you.

Fuck it. I'm pussy.

Japanese bands that don't cut it commit suicide. Wish we had that sort of ethic over here. Too fat, too faggot.

japs do it from above.
