Description
Japan’s Hakuchi getting the long awaited vinyl treatment they deserve! Hakuchi spanned 1991-1994 and released 2 EP’s and more. Channeling classic Japanese hardcore with their own unique crust punk style that peaked with their ’93 EP God’s Disturb on Overthrow Records. While you can hear the nods to Amebix and Extreme Noise Terror, these punks were blazing their own trail.
Our take: Discography LP from this 90s Japanese hardcore band. This LP is a wild ride because theres so much different stuff on it. Often for discography releases, the track listing will be in chronological (or reverse chronological) order and/or will also proceed in order of fidelity (usually from best to worst). Hakuchis collection LP, though, jumps around a lot, an issue amplified by Hakuchis stylistic restlessness. At various points they remind me of Burning Spirits-style hardcore, straight up Cimex/Shitlickers style bashing, and UK metallic crust (anything from Axegrinder to Amebix), and there are also moments (as with a lot of 90s Japanese hardcore bands) that are quite rock. If youre just looking for one of those things, a lot of this might miss for you, but if you just enjoy Hakuchis crazy ride, there are a lot of great moments on this LP, and no moments Id call skippers. If you have a taste for deep cut 90s Japanese hardcore, youre gonna love it.
