Birushanah

Description:
Japanese people will NEVER stop being the coolest people ever. EVER. Birushana are the evidence. Listening to their song Jyodo is like having someone delicately pull you by your ear into a cosmic spiral of traditional Japanese sounds and haunts, with every clap so impeccably timed. In contrast, Akai Yami takes slow, deep bong-ripping rips from obvious bands like Sabbath and Electric Wizard. And then you hear Jintekiyokyu, and you’re completely sold. Think Metallica, circa Master of Puppets, with Slayer’s vocals if they were Japanese and way more down for sludge and heavy bongs. You’ll literally die if you miss this. – HM
