LiFE / Destruct "To Stop the Conflict" Split LP

Tokyo/ Richmond Noise Oblivion. Two ripping sides of d beat noise raging against the violence that is tearing our world apart.

Tokyo originators LiFE have focused their noisy frantic crustcore with a metallic darkness, pushing into abstract territories that only masters of the craft can pull off. These tracks are a frenetic onslaught informed by over 30 years of passion and strong message. LiFE is one of the last standing bands from this original scene in Japan and this shows they are as raging as ever. DESTRUCT rolls in like a tank surveying the scorched earth. Fist pumping and menacing, but creative within strict genre confines, giving their message an immediacy and power that it deserves. One of the best hardcore punk bands out there playing this brutal style. The beautiful art inked by Xavier Rekkaen points at the duality inherent in the band names and the concept of conflict on an elemental level. Legendary split between generations.

Cover art is a collaboration between Joe B and Xavier Raekken

Both sides mastered at Noise Room, Tokyo

Packaged with a giant newprint poster.
