Bringing to the stage new influences, and the brooding Japanese hardcore sound. By making something totally fresh, they forged the trademark sound most people think of when thinking of traditional Japanese hardcore. Their extremely fierce aesthetic, sound and attitude gained them a nearly mythical status.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eFollowing the Japanese tradition of bands organizing their own gig nights, \u003cstrong\u003eDeath Side\u003c\/strong\u003e, together with friends, created the legendary Burning Spirits concerts and tours, which saw every classic band of the era play, from Lip Cream, Cruck or Bastard to Systematic Death, 鉄アレ or Nightmare. This gig night gave their style a new name, which has been used broadly to describe contemporary Japanese Hardcore.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBy playing relentlessly all over the country, they inspired a new generation of maniacs that ended up starting bands all over Japan. The band came to an end in 1995, and spurred another batch of classic bands like Paintbox, Forward or Judgement. But that’s a different story.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe Double LP was re-mastered by Arthur Rizk, and comes in a gatefold sleeve designed by Ville Valavuo.
