Once again, a compilation, this time a collection of Japanese hc&metal bands from the no longer extant Howling Bull U.S. label.
Some excellent bands on here, though much of the material has been released elsewhere.
Hellchild and Force feature one of my favorite vocalists, Taiho(大砲) play some good noisy hardcore (and if anyone has any of their releases besides Chugalug, I'd be grateful), and the Garlic Boys have been around forever playing an asｓortment of punk styles. Nunchaku & United thug it up a little, Yellow Machinegun are a thrashy, all female metal band, Panorama Afro have a silly name and some reggae influence in their punk while Space Combine play some sort of messy rock.

Big thanks for all the compilations that you've posted lately!
I'm glad other people share my affection for comps.
I used to have this one. Looking at the bands, I'm not sure who I was familiar with when I bought it. Maybe Yellow Machinegun? Perhaps it was just because I have such admiration for the Japanese, and their ability to dominate us in music and technology. And bizzare fetishes.
(Thanks for stopping by, and adding a link to my blog on here. I appreciate it, and will return the favor. It looks like you've got a pretty nice spot over here. Cheers.)
@rygar: Thanks- I definitely tracked this down one for the Hellchild initially, though as you can probably tell I'm a bit of a sucker for Japanese heavy music in general.
I lived in Japan for a while and one of the surprising things was how low-tech and un-computerized large sections of the economy were (though people do have some super gadgets).
