Gibbed - Demo 1990 (Advance for "Eternal Life" Flexi 1990) And "Samurai" Zine Issues 1 & 2


Japan's first true grindcore band. Though favoring the metallic end of the genre, they still had the particulars nailed down a LOT tighter than predecessors Deathpeed (who were really aimless dark thrash) and S.O.B. (who garishly sold out to play the style...and completely sucked shit at it). Also included is the first two issues of nihonjin zine "Samurai", who helped finance a CD compilation featuring these and other previously published trax from Cacofonia, Anarchus, and Multiplex.

P.S.: Gibbed's name is an Engrish portmanteau of having been hung on a gallows.
