Just received a new shipment of music from Japan today. Some great stuff, check it out if you have a chance. This will be updated whenever I get new stuff in the mail.

Canopus - Endless Sacrifice

More heavy Arkangel/Maroon influenced hardcore from Japan. They love their edge metal over there. Brand new release

Extinguish The Fire/Onfall/Blood Calls We Die - Kill A Theory (3 Way Split)

3 way split between Extinguish The Fire, Onfall, and Blood Calls We Die. Loads of metal here...great split.

The Ten Commandments - Baptised In Suffering

The Ten Commandments used to be called Eve of the Apocalypse and released a track on The Document comp. Members of Loyal to the Grave play 90s style hardcore that you would swear were Arkangel outtakes. I was seriously blown away...this is their demo CDR.

End of Statement - The Testament

Great release from End of Statement. These dudes love the 90s Goodlife band and it shows in the artwork and the musical style. They play a good mix of 90s hardcore in that Arkangel vein. Lots of biblical images in the layout as well.

God's Heritage - Handheld Civilization

God's Heritage features members of Loyal to the Grave and State Craft and remind me alot of bands like Unbroken, Morning Again, and Earth Crisis playing that chug style of hardcore that I love so much.

Loyal To The Grave - Still Climbin' Still Believin'

Possibly one of the biggest bands in Japan right now. 2 of my buddies play in this one and they really know how to write some good hardcore. Fast heavy hardcore in that Another Victim vein. This is the last recording featuring their original vocalist, Manabu, and their 2nd full length.

Genesis - Eternal Exclamation

Genesis (not the band from England, these guys are from Japan) play heavy hardcore in that 90s chug technical vein that bands like Strongarm and Shai Hulud made popular. The band also features ex-members of God's Heritage.

Various Artists - War Must Be Declared Part III

The 3rd installment in the War Must Be Declared series this time featuring tracks from End of Statement, Blood of the Fallen, Ragnarok, Hand of God, All The Suffering, Doggy Hoods, Apocrypha, and Ataraxia. Great glimpse into whats happening in the Japanese scene today.

State Craft/Calusari - Evil Communications Corrupt Good Manners (Split)

Hiro found a few copies of this split I didn't even know existed. State Craft, the godfathers of Japanese hardcore, released a split towards the end of the band's life with Calusari. Each band plays 2 originals as well as a cover. Limited and who knows if Ill be able to get more of these. Get em while you can

1618 - From This Day Forward

1618 are from Reno, NV and feature ex-members of Fall Silent. The band plays a mix of 90s influenced hardcore with elements of Refused in there as well. Hard stuff.

Vow of Hatred - Self Titled

American band Vow of Hatred play beatdown hardcore in that Bulldoze vein or perhaps Merauder, tuned way down. Heavy as hell hardcore. Released by the Clandestine Project out of Japan

Cheyenne - Doom Prophets

Cheyenne are from Seattle, WA and to be honest they play a pretty wide variety of hardcore. I hear elements of E-Town Concrete, Candiria, Furious Styles, early Converge, and Acacia Strain in there. Excellent recording to top it off. Released by a new label out of Japan called the Clandestine Project.

Loyal To The Grave/Armed For Battle/Winds Of Plague - 3 Way Split

3 way split featuring the US' xAFBx and Winds of Plague and Japan's Loyal to the Grave. 7 songs total.

Cinder have been around since 2001, playing youth crew revival influenced hardcore. With numerous releases to their credit, this is a collection of 3 EPs from Barcelona's favorite sons. Fast and melodic, reminds of Ten Yard Fight or maybe Mouthpiece (see what I did there?). 16 songs. Voca

The newest full length from Buenos Aires Reconcile. This band has been making serious waves recently and is poised to take over the hardcore world. Top notch recording, the band play a good mix of 90s influenced hardcore with early 2000s creeping in. Vocally, Fedex reminds me ALOT of Rory from Standfast/How We Are/Soul Control, one of my favorite vocalist. You can hear some Reach The Sky, Abhinanda, and By The Grace of God in there...vocals are in English.
