Let's share some underrated bands from Japan which has banger tracks. I'll start:
Les Rallizes Dénudés is a band which is at the same time controversial and magnificent. They almost never recorded songs on a studio and practically all of the band's songs published on YouTube are bootlegs. The band played in live most of the time and every time they played a song they changed something in it, like a part of the lyrics or chord, just like Pink Floyd. I recommend starting to listen to his music via A Memory Is Far:
The band's guitarist and founder, Mizutani, unfortunately passed away. He was a very skilled guitarist in my opinion and his solos are very unique. He used to carry a knife to all his shows as a safety measure, and a photograph was taken:
This photograph became the cover of one of the band's bootlegs, called Heavier Than A Death In The Family.
Actually if you join the band's website you'll this, accompanied by a distorted guitar sound, probably from Mizutani.
So, about the controversy... The band's former bassist was a member of the Red Army Faction, of the Japan Communist League. This faction one day began an operation known as the Yodo-go Hijack, in which the members hijacked a plane. Read about here.
In the cover of a CD by the band there was a swastika on the drums XD
I don't know why.
Now share yours.
