Zouo

01. Zouo - A Roar Agitating Violent Age, 1984 Vinyl LP      Crust War - Crust War-044      Reissue from 2011 02. Zouo - Agony 憎悪 Remains, 1984 Vinyl LP Compilation Reissue Remastered      Relapse Records, Relapse Records - RR7441, LP7441R / RR74411      Reissue from 2021 Classic Japan punk thrash attack! In one flexible sentence, fans of Crow | GISM | Ghoul | The Execute already know what to do, may the rest of you take advice [play at 11]. Evil raw punk death eats you from both ends at once in these two excellent reissues. Roar is a raw audience live recording while the Relapse reissue contains the Final Agony and Frustrations EPs, plus a solid serving of more live recordings. Many thanks to the Church goer who provided the Roar rip. Now it's a little ironic to see Relapse rereleasing the 80s Japanese classics with all their sulfurous imagery and reputation (hint: guess which part of the GISM album cover was censored), while at the same time expelling Tau Cross from their catalog with all their SJW wrath (the whole pressing of the 3rd album was even destroyed! Greta is not amused) for a thank list commandment violation, amen. Is Relapse finally running out of lumbersexual computerized turds to release? While the jury is out thinking hard and long, blast Zouo back to the future of seminal abrasion! Remove brackets and unzip: [zerouo] !ZER Zouo ZER!
