9 SHOCKS TERROR has remained timeless since its original release in 1986, embodying incomparable speed and a level of perfection that defines Japanese hardcore.
Recorded at Shinjuku JAM Studio, 9 SHOCKS TERROR was composed primarily by Minoru and Naoki, with lyrics and artwork by JhaJha. JhaJha's hand-drawn jacket illustration was a parody of THE FUZZTONES' album “Cinderella”.
Additionally, an English translation of the lyrics is included for this Relapse release, helping English-speaking listeners understand the unique world of LIP CREAM. Interestingly, the title “9 SHOCKS TERROR” was revised to “9 SHOCKING TERROR” on the 2007 CD reissue by ONI Label. This revision was made after illustrator PUSHEAD, who has a long-standing relationship with LIP CREAM, pointed out a grammar error. However, the original title has been restored out of respect for the original work for this RELAPSE reissue.
