Description
Japanese compilation with Outo, Squad, S.O.B., and Poison Arts. Taken from the beta master version used for the live japanse TV broadcast.
Our take: Another month goes by and we get another Japanese hardcore bootleg from some obscure corner of the world. This one is interesting as it goes a little further than the typical press the officially reissued CD to vinyl theme. Complete Death was a VHS release featuring live sets by several legendary Japanese hardcore bands at one of the most exciting times for the scene. No doubt youve seen the amazing Death Side footage, which I believe comes from this show. The video stuff is amazingpro-shot with good lighting and multiple camerasbut the audio sounds great too. This LP collects the audio from Sqwad, Outo, S.O.B., and Poison Arts. While its not a studio recording, the audio quality is top-notch and well worth hearing if youre a fan. The only one I wasnt familiar with was Sqwad. They were a band featuring ex-members of Ghoul, whose song Oi! they do here, and their two originals also sound like a Burning Spirits-ified Ghoul. Outo, S.O.B., and Poison Arts are all at the top of their game, and Outo in particulardelivers a ripping set of tracks. This is well worth your time if youre a Japanese hardcore head, and heres hoping we see a second volume with the Tetsu Arrey, Death Side, Final Bombs, and Systematic Death tracksalso on the original video.
