Zarathustra, gothic rock band from Nishinomiya, released their sole LP in 1986; the II is in the title because their debut 7“ had the same title. Musically this LP is a mix of rather aggressive (may be too strong a word?) gothic rock songs and very quiet moments. There also seems to be a german affinity since in addition to the obvious Nietzsche allusion there are two german song titles referencing spiritualism (Rosen Kreuz) and romanticism (Waldeinsamkeit).
