Confront Guilty or Not Guilty? LP
Textbook Japanese hardcore from Mie. There was an EP ages ago and they kept popping up on comps (and in whispers), but if you’re gonna wait twenty years before releasing your first full-length…make it sound like this. This is classic Burning Spirits-style ‘core with sweeping leads and intense yowls shouted through a throat filled with gravel. The pace is as ruthless as the riffs, and there are faster tracks that owe to early DSB or INSANE YOUTH AD as much as the inevitable DEATH SIDE comparisons. It’s been too long since I’ve blasted a record this complete.
