Exclaim - Fusillade LP

In 1985, Dogma Records, home to G.I.S.M., The Comes, The Clay, Swankys, etc., printed an ad for their upcoming releases in Doll Magazine. One of them however, a band called Exclaim never ended up being released. Operating in Akita city, located in the far north of Japan’s big island, playing political hardcore punk influenced by bands like Discharge, Crucifix and Crass through a uniquely Japanese filter. Their sole appearance on record was a single track on Gauze’s "Shodoku Gig" LP from 1987, but the band had already gone into the studio 3 times from 1985-1986 and tracked close to 20 incredible songs for fans of metallic 80s style Japanese hardcore punk like G.I.S.M., Zouo, and Gastunk, inflected with occasion clean vocal parts, and shredding guitar leads. "Fusillade" compiles both of their 1986 recording sessions.
