There is something peculiarly sensual about this mic grab
Two years ago, Sarge wrote a post called Can Foreigners Play Thugcore??, which basically consisted of hilarious songs by bands who wanted to be American. Looking back on the bands in that post, some have deviated from thugcore and ruined their music to mosh ratio– *cough* TRC *cough*. Nevertheless, some turned out pretty sweet! Specifically, I’m talking about Japan’s Loyal to the Grave. In April they dropped Against the Odds, which features guest vocals from the likes of Vincent from The Acacia Strain and Carl from First Blood. If that alone doesn’t make you mosh then it’s over for you, son.
Here is the Cliffnotes edition for those who cannot be bothered to listen to 3 whole minutes:
- Slamming breakdowns, crushing grooves from start to finish
- Barely intelligible vocals. Song could very well be about Naruto
- 1:56 dat snare
- 2:39 What Seppuku sounds like as a breakdown
Why am I finding these so funny
Hit Loyal To The Grave up on Facebook, tell them Stuff You Will Hate sent you, and then congratulate them on trying to impersonate the United States.
No time for questions, only time for mosh.
I think I like this like ten times more than I normally would cause its funny that they’re Japanese. Would not know if you didn’ say so.
japanese bands do it better (srs)

Semi-related Japan question- anyone familiar with a park in Japan (in Osaka, I think) where bands set up and play?
LOYAL TO THE GRAVE

DEAD-REFORCE
The holy trinity of Japanese moshcore!
These bands are sick!
u should try Edge Of Spirit then,pretty much metalcorish stuff ala early shai hulud mixed up with br00tal arkangel/thrash riffage worship….Dudes are heavy!
I thought that those were the lyrics of one of their songs, with the next line being “STRAIGHT FUCKING EDGE!!!”
ROYAR TO THE GRAVEU

“There is something peculiarly sensual about this mic grab”
I think it’s a combination between the singer’s serene facial expression and the fact that he seems to be cradling the dude’s head instead of grabbing it
I can’t tell if he’s helping a guy who might have some sort of mental illness, or if he’s about to take away his bending.

Best dudes…I’ve been friends with them for years. So happy that they finally got a US release.
Holy fuck the comments have left me in tears
Surprisingly unconventional for dem sadistic, whate-hating, slit eyes.
Rhey have buroken 3 hardcuru rhules!
1.Naming your band after a song by a recent hardcore band.
2. Naming your band after a REALLY FUCKING POPULAR band, bordering on mainstream alt!
3. The breakdown chant sounds like “My nipple” ad infinitum. Not xtuffx enough.
edit: named after a song, not a band. FUUUUCK.
THIS HAD TO HAPPEN:

Sorry my art doesn’t live up to your extremely high homoerotic standards. I was just trying to be realistic, small azn dicks = thin stringy jizz shots. Hope this clears it up! <3
OMG SMALL AZN PEN0R IS RASIST + STEREOTYPE
lol shouldve shooped a harpoon hitting a whale/dolpin in there somewhere!!! lolz
im sorry u guise im not racist just a firm believer in stereotypes ;-D
now back to my breakfast burrito while i read la cucaracha teehee
This is some genuine siq mosh. Will Japan take our mosh and engineer it better/produce it more efficiently just like they have done with cars and electronics? Time will tell.
What do YOU think, SYWH?
This entire comment thread is getting hearty belly RORs from me!
