Forward - Burn down the corrupted justice

In the mid-90's the exotic fruit named death side broke up.. (to tell you one more sin, in the great question : death side or bastard ? I vote bastard with my eyes closed. sorry d-bill)
Their singer, ishiya, left no time to pass him by and soon enough created FORWARD... (also, other members of death side created a couple of japcore legends such as judgement and paintbox)
A bunch of 7'' (get two of them here) and four full lenght albums is the legacy of FORWARD...
From the devastating year of 2004 here we have this little diamond, the last forward's lp that has been released in HG:fact records and i think it's expensive enough (if you wanna buy it)...
This one is my favourite lp (i love this fucking kanji song), the perfect combination of pure japcore power alongside catchy song-writting (thanx to mountza fanzine for the copyright)
Forward is probably the most active japanese band and has toured the states alongside warhead and tragedy back in 2006...
I forgot to mention the member changes. A lot of guys that used to play in other great japcore bands (check out systematic death and insane youth for example) played (more or less) for forward also. hehehe...
So, make some downloads....

Pure fucking JAPCORE

(P.S. thanx also to the no beast so fierce blog for insane youth and the other goodies... thanx, sean

P.S. i was in posting mood and the next one up was Selfish's "cause pain", but d-crust blog catch me up and post it before i realize it... hehehe... so, check it out here)

dbill is a man of his (late) word...

Forward:

You are riding (and by riding I mean going at about 130cph)your favorite japanese ''pure-bred'' (..''ka8aro'' gia ta alania) 500cc two-stroke, oil-spitting, blood-tornado enduro motorbike...nothing too flashy....just an over-cylindered double-torque mountain monster that swallows every obstacle that can come on it's way for breakfast...

Suddenly, you see four police cars, and a couple of polise bastards on motorbikes blocking the road ahead of you...lights flashing from blue to red, sirens can be heard on the background, and you know ''the man'' has no good intention towards you.

But you are calm...by stepping on the back brake your companion (the afformentioned 1993 Honda CR 500) turnes 90 degrees after leaving a 10 meter skid mark. The tires are smoking and so is your attitude towards the pigs of the law. Your mind is fixed on the targed...no turning back...just Forward...

Forward is your reason of going full throtle against a wall of death... Raw like your impending collition, monolithic like your state of mind, rocking like your foreseen death.

These Japs have no intention of stopping for anything and anyone...they just go (go ahead!), blazing through 11 tracks of total hardcorepunk fury...the drums are pounded the heavy speedy way (i.e. the right way!), the bass is an earthquake of pure low-tuned attack, and the guitars never stop cranking riff after riff after riff...and to top things off a crazy Japerman verbal assaulting you (irrelevant, but listen to Verbal Abuse! (irrelevans no.2 but listen also to Total Abuse!)) with words more caustic than acid.

This might be the soundtrack to your death, but it is the best death soundtrack anyone can get close to...

Forward is your reason for turning your own throttle further than full speed...

Now go Forward, forward to death.
