"Delivering anarchism and blasphemy for over 20 years, Yasuyuki Suzuki
(ABIGAIL, BARBATOS, TIGER JUNKIES, BITCHEATER, etc.), from the Japanese
underground scene strikes back with more libertine and devilish music.
Those who ardently follow the Far East, more specifically Japan, know
their high-octane fusion of Black, Thrash and Heavy Metal from the ’80s
with a libidinous twist of punkish fanaticism. No doubt Yasuyuki Suzuki
has a lifelong obsession to keep on pursuing madness and this new
project with the name SPACE HEADBANGERS offers the debut full-length
“Black Garage Punks”. Said to be influenced by MISFITS, RAMONES,
DISCHARGE, SEX PISTOLS, BAD RELIGION, BATHORY, HELLHAMMER, VENOM,
BEHERIT, etc., this debut album contains 14 Black Garage Punk Rock
anthems. What comes out is Speed Metal mixed with Street Punk, also with
the level of debauchery and blasphemy in their heritages, as can be
listened to from the very beginning of ‘Night For Satan’ and ‘Storm Of
The Zeros’, with more up-tempo accelerations and shivering riffing
assault aided by throat-slitting vocal deliverance. This will make you
possessed and lured to listen repeatedly to get the headbanging pleasure
and thumping fists up in the air. ‘Into The Fire And The Wind’, ‘One
Two Fuck You!’ and ‘Evil’s Nightmare’ will add more rowdy and maniac
sensations. The damned bass line and the contest slithering of the snare
fuels the wickedness further. The record fittingly ends with ‘I Like
To Whisky Coke’, ‘Goats’ and ‘Violent World’, and reminds of HELLHAMMER,
BEHERIT and BATHORY. With a very tantalizing album length of just over
25 minutes, the appropriate production aided to the atmosphere needs to
be there for fierceness and debauchery captured on “Black Garage Punks”.
Not much info can be found online about this newly founded group of
Yasuyuki Suzuki and regarding additional contributions here (including
the sadistic cover artwork!). The artwork reflects what SPACE
HEADBANGERS captured and delivered in their debut offering. May this
surely give hints of many upcoming kickass and tempting releases from
the continued quests of Yasuyuki’s SPACE HEADBANGERS. For now, get this
release, and spin on repeat till you start battering surroundings
