TERRORIZING TOKYO WITH ANARCHY, VIOLENCE, GROWLS, & MANIC RIFFAGE.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a mega photo-dump of vocalist Sakevi Yokoyama of G.I.S.M. playing a show at The Loft, Tokyo, c. 1992/1993? Pics of the late, great Randy Uchida and one (very blurry) shot of bassist Kiichi Takahashi are also featured. 📸: ❓
"These weren’t taken that long before Sakevi would be arrested for attempting to set a man on fire with a makeshift flamethrower on the Tokyo subway."
"GODDESS RAPED BY GOD,
DEVOURING OUR IMMINENCE
FAMISHED FOR FEAR,
WE DIE."

Never hear anyone talk about this band, and I've never heard anything that really sounds like them. Weird riffs, weird vocals, weird lyrics. While definitely in the realm of 90s emo/powerviolence, they don't really sound like their contemporaries in that scene. Very cool and good stuff, definitely drew the short straw on the band name considering it's now almost impossible to google them due to Ice Nine Kills. What're ya gonna do tho
