Tranquilizer - 1st 7″ flexi (Tranquilizer Record-001/PLM-037) c1985
Japanese monster coming from Hokkaido. As usual not a lot is known about those loonies.
This one is quite hard to describe, seems that old Hokkaido bands had a very particular sound, i’d say even more wild than most Kyushyu noise bands. Could be easily compared to Gudon or Coward flexis, indescribable voice on totally noisy instruments… They released a second flexi in 86, but doesn’t reach the insanity of this one, just average japanese punk-core.

When you think you know everything from Japan, another band arrives here, that why I love this site, great post.
Short & rough. What a vocal! Sounds like bees/flyes buzzing in your ears.
i have to say, this is the best thing i’ve heard in a really long time. do you have any other obscure stuff like this? i’d gladly send you stuff in return. thanks for posting it!
i would have to disagree with you. the second flexi was better in my opinion. the first song is so haunting and dark. think ala GHOUL song “Juda” and RxUxGx’s “Deathly Fighter”. wild insane solos, doomish atmosphere, crazy vocals, and just overall wild and insane. i have that flexi if anyone wants the mp3’s. if you have SLSK just tell me your username and ill contact you.
Big hand for posting this. A dose of relentless noise was just what I needed tonight.
A few years ago when I first heard this flexi, I mistook the vocals for guitar leads. Fucking crazy sound!
The covers represent documental proof of the atrocities done by japanese army in China in 1937 known as Nanking Massacre (or Forgotten Holocaust)

Don’t know what happened to my Zyklon B that I posted but I also had Mielenhairio’s 2nd EP and 3rd EP downloaded.
DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD! DEAD!
