Bastard are a Japanese hardcore band formed in the late 80's and are one of, if not the, best hardcore bands in the burning spirits scene from Japan. They play as fast and as hard as they can. I have only just started to truly appreciate Japanese hardcore after breaking out of the bubble that I've been in of US and UK hardcore. Anywhere you see Japanese hardcore mentioned, it's more than likely accompanied with a mention of Bastard. If you dig this record, go on to check out other heavyweights of the scene like Judgement, GISM, Systematic Death, and Smash Detox.
(Bastard Records & Blood Sucker Records, 1992)
