oh the japanese

japan is a trip, i had the opportunity to go there for a bit a few years back and it is a serious cultural skull fuck.  All men in black business suits and immaculately dressed women in high heels on bikes and then, out of nowhere, BAM 16 year old girl in a full on head to toe dinosaur costume just walking down the street with her friend dressed like a french maid.  Given the cultural divide between the old guard and the youth I guess it's no surprise to find a band like Swarrm in the mix over there.  Partially born out of Hell Child Swarrm is chaos as only Japan does it, teetering on the edge of complete insanity.  Blistering grind guitars and screams like a possessed wounded animal over incredibly tight drums and song structure.  I mean shit - the intro to this album is a mandolin solo followed by pure evil.  Nise Kyuseishu Domo (Three Imitation Messiahs) is Swarrrm's second full length and probably their album I listen to the most, give it a listen below.
