"OUR SLOGANS ARE ANARCHY & VIOLENCE" -- WELCOME TO 1984.
PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on the political beliefs of Japanese hardcore punk bamd G.I.S.M., the printed insert was included with the "P.E.A.C.E./War" double vinyl album released under the R Radical label in 1984. Also features here are sleeve illustrations for the "Detestation" LP and a portrait of the band.
NOTE: This is probably the first time I accurately post these lyrics, and damn near everything provided online is inaccurate. Thank you, R Radical Records!
"Endless blockades, Endless blockades,
Endless blockades for the pussyfooter,
You no way notice the demagogue,
You no way notice the militaristic,
You no way notice the bombing,
You no way notice the death in action.
They detest to awake you from fool,
They detest the united masses,
They detest the repressed people's scream,
They detest the departed spirits in third world.
Bloodly bomb, bloodly bomb,
Bloodly bomb descent to you.
They surely send you the demagogue,
They surely send you the militaristic,
They surely send you the bombing,
They surely send you the death in action."
-- "Endless Blockades for the Pussyfooter" (1984) by G.I.S.M.

STILL REIGNING PATRON SAINT OF JAPANESE METAL-PUNK GUITAR.
PIC INFO: Spotlight on late, great guitar wizard Randy Uchida (1962-2001), of Tokyo-based hardcore punk/heavy metal/metal punk band, G.I.S.M., another legend lost.
Only two surviving members of the classic "Detestation" (1983-'84) line-up remain, as of typing this, and I just remembered that original G.I.S.M. drummer Tohru "Hiroshima" Monamour exited this mortal plane back in January 2022. Eternal hails!!
After a couple weeks lost in the USPS mail system, my GISM - “Detestation” reissue finally arrived. The first official reissue of this classic Japanese punk/hardcore/metal/thrash/whatever-you-wanna-call-it record EVER. It came with a pasted on, fake obi-strip for what I assumed was to cover the swastika that was on the original cover art. I slowly peeled it off, but it looks like they edited it out anyway, so I don’t understand the pasted on obi-strip? Whatever. It doesn’t actually matter. Just glad I can buy a non-bootleg version of this record! FINALLY! An original goes for an absurd amount of money. Thanks for getting this done, Relapse/Beast Arts folks! . . . #gism #detestation #japanesepunk #japanesehardcore #japanesemetal #japanesethrash #relapserecords #beastarts #whitevinyl #nowspinning #vinyl #records #instavinyl #vinylporn #jhvinyl #iloveDiscogs #vinyligclub #vinylcollection #recordcollector #recordcollection #recordsnotvinyls #vinylgram #vinylnotvinyls #vinylcommunity #vinyladdict #vinyljunkie #stoppluralizingvinyl #cratedigger #cratedigging #physicalmediaforever https://www.instagram.com/p/CJeYZ9PjNoM/?igshid=1colblxehs6th
