Syudan Jisatsu - Demon Priest

Here's some true "mysterious guy" punk.  Syudan Jisatsu translates roughly to "mass suicide" and only put out this one EP from '91.   Obviously the whole record is steeped in the traditions of Japanese hardcore, but people seem unsure about who was behind this project, whether they are even Japanese or not.  Some say Sakevi of GISM performed vocals on this, but while they sound incredibly similar, i don't think that's the case.  The stronger opinions out there say that Syudan Jisatsu is comprised of Finnish folks, and some say that it's a solo project by a member of Selfish.  Regardless of origin, this is a really well-done and authentic take on Japanese punk and it's intentional shroud of mystery is an added layer of intrigue.  Get dark and weird.
