Goddamn! Check out brand new Japanese metallic hardcore/edge metal band Indication on their HARD self-titled demo track. The band features Crystal Lake‘s original vocalist Kentaro, Koba of Loyal to The Grave/Birthplace, GV also of Birthplace, and Keita of Sable Hills – so you would be right to expect absolute fucking perfection. This has all those Morning Again/State Craft-esque vibes to fill your heart with total hatred for this world complete with mosh/metal riffs, EXCELLENT production (how’s this a demo??), and those vocals – Kentaro’s always been a beast. The song also features a member of State Craft and Tome of Birthplace dropping a little cameo on the track.
Kentaro was even kind enough to send in some info about how it came together:
“I just said I wanted to form my own band with Koba. And then both GV and Keita joined the band and we started writing songs around the spring of 2022. It’s been about a year. It’s hard to narrow down to one inspiration. Of course, we are influenced by State Craft and 90’s new school hardcore!”
Go listen to this jam – we’ve already heard it a thousand times.
Very cool to see some fellow Asian extreme musicheads who live out here in the west (United Kingdom to be precise) also continuing to actually play music instead of...
