Starting up in the mid-80’s Death Side, together with Lip Cream, bridged the first and third wave of Japanese hardcore punk. Bringing to the stage new influences, and the brooding Japanese hardcore sound. By making something totally fresh, they forged the trademark sound most people think of when thinking of traditional Japanese hardcore. Their extremely fierce aesthetic, sound and attitude gained them a nearly mythical status.
The double LP was re-mastered by ARTHUR RIZK, and comes in a gatefold sleeve designed by VILLE VALAVUO, it includes a 12-page booklet of band pictures and flyers as well as lyrics. The LP is dedicated to CHELSEA, the original guitarist who passed away in 2007.
