Worshipping japanese hardcore since the day before yesterday!
An absolutely raging hardcore 7“! Three wild, fast, thrashing hardcore punk songs, a very clear production, tight playing, anything you could ask for! All in all the sound is a bit similar to their contemporaries Gouka, though DSB were less D-Beat and more thrash. Released in 2002, my version is the Euro pressing on Kangaroo records.
This is the re-release on Deranged Records of D.S.B.’s first 7″ from 1996. The four songs remind me of Nightmare‘s early stuff: Super fast, kind of catchy (if you consider this an appropriate term) with some guitar harmonies and cool shouts in the choruses.
Of the bands on this compilation, the glue sniffers of Warhead are definitely the winners. Even their mid-tempo songs are absolutely over the top, manic hardcore insanity with a totally crazy singer. Extinct Government are another all-star group with members of Tetsu Arei, The Comes, Lipcream, Idora and Crück. They are more on the punky side of hardcore and even play a cover of No Desire by Switzerland’s Jack & The Rippers, which was originally released in 1979! On Side B Zone speed things up again with some fast and tight hardcore, which sadly doesn’t reach the level of Warhead’s insanity. D.S.B. are a lot dirtier again, but I prefer their 7″es to these compilation tracks.
