Hang The Sucker Vol. 2

RARE out of print va *HANG THE SUCKER Vol.2* LP on KAGAIMOUSOU RECORDS (012L)

One of the best Japanese thrashCore compilations ever!

Another truly monstrous late 80s japanese hardcore compilation. Hang The Sucker Vol. 2 came out in 1989 on Kagai Mousou records, which also did lots of Gudon, Chicken Bowels, Googol Plex, the My Meat’s Your Poison comp. Hang The Sucker Vol. 1 was a 7“ which came our the year before.

This comp starts out with 4 songs by Death Side which kill: superfast, tight, brutal (one is a re-recorded version of Stick And Hole off Smashing Odds Ness!!). Next are Gudon, also superfast and tight but with a somewhat subdued production. Half Years are up next with a style somewhat similar to Gudon. This again is not surprising since they most of their members played in Gudon at some time. Again: superfast and tight, with a clean and powerful production. Last are Mad Conflux who are the dirtiest band on this comp, with a style that reminds me a bit of Crück. Their guitarist Ori-Chan now has the difficult job of being the present Death Side guitarist, having to follow after Chelsea’s death; as far as I know he had been a guitar student of Chelsea’s.
