Japanese hardcore?

StorDuff · Jul 6, 2002, 08:25

Dunno if there is such a thing, but:

I listen to bands such as Hatebreed and Unearth, are there any Japanese (lyrics in any language) that are along those lines?

I've heard some stuff out of Hong Kong and it was mainly just pop sounding...

I'm not familair with the bands you mentioned, but i assume it's hardcore punk and not hardcore house.
There is certainly a lot of Japanese hardcore around.
Try listening to Melt Banana, Guitarwolf and The Slutbanks for starters. There are lots more Japanese bands like these, but it's not the genre i listen very often, so i'd have to do some digging to get more bandnames.

Not really punk, more along the line of hard rock. I'll do a search on those, thanks.

It's also not my genre, so I don't know too much about Japanese hard rock as well. Living out of Japan also means that I have lost touch with the 'scene'.

I browsed the net, here are a few links I found:

Metalucifer

Loudness

Kaizer Nucle

Just for fun: Heavy Metal Haiku (I love Aerosmith!)

I just remembered this website:

http://www.rotnroll.com

This site is run by Dirk Gez from Germany. I've exchanged some music with him in the past.
His site is dedicated to Japcore, so you should be able to find everything you want to know right there.
