V.A : Devil Must Be Driven Out With Devil



A 1986 comp featuring various Japanese punk/metal heavyweights of the day; ranging from Casbah's stomping metal and City Indian's Lemmy worship to the raw hardcore of Lip Cream and Ghoul. This is a nice snapshot of the early Japanese heavy music scene and packed with bands which have influenced the sound of most of the Nipponese stuff posted on this blog (except for the Saber Tiger tracks which, like all other things X-Japan related, are incredibly fucking cheesy--I've just been never been able to enjoy castrato heavy metal vocals.)


1. DEATH CITY/GHOUL
2. POSITIVE WAR/UNITED
3. TOP FIGHT/LIP CREAM
4. DEAD ANGEL/SAVER TIGER
5. 8・9・3/CITY INDIAN
6. ROCK THE PASSION/CASBAH
7. BITE YOURSELF/UNITED
8. RADIMENTAL TROUTH/LIP CREAM
9. DESPERATE WAR/CASBAH
10. MAD SISTER/CITY INDIAN
11. EMERGENCY EXPRESS/SAVER TIGER
12. FLASH BACK/GHOUL

Comically enough, I found this post (and download!) while looking for one of the Saver Tiger songs. Even though you don't like them, thanks!
