V.A. - NAGOYA CITY HARDCORE

Instant classic of a Japanese hardcore compilation, NAGOYA CITY HARDCORE was originally issued in late 2008 on Japan’s legendary MCR label as a CD only release combining 3 tracks each by five Nagoya Bands = CLOWN, REALITY CRISIS, ZILEMMA, D-CLONE, and DEMOLITION to make one powerhouse compilation of distorted guitars, howling vocals and high energy hardcore punk.

CLOWN has previously released a Full Length CD on MCR of their anthemic, innovative and tough hardcore, which was subsequently issued in the US on vinyl on HARDCORE HOLOCAUST. REALITY CRISIS have existed since the 1990’s, with a UK stenchcore styled Dual vocal crust attack, they have toured the west coast and Portland’s cult WHISPER IN DARKNESS label has issued both of their CDs here on Vinyl. This compilation represents ZILEMMA's debut US release of their catchy melodic, guitar driven hardcore, D-CLONE deliver a noisy attack of high energy, total distortion! They recently toured the West Coast and released a split EP with San Francisco’s MORPHEME. DEMOLITION have a classic rocking brand of Japanese hardcore similar to their previous release on Portland’s BLACK WATER label.
