Systematic Death needs no introduction to fans of the classic, Japanese hardcore mayhem that has erupted from that country since punk first found it's footing there in the '80s. Straight out of the gate, from their first self-released EP in 1984 through their next blistering EPs on legendary, early Japanese hardcore labels Hold Up and Selfish Records culminating in the ultra-classic "Final Insider" full-length released in 1987, this band has set the standard for Japanese thrash ever since. Unmatched in speed and intensity, and screaming with anger and hope, 2018's "Systema Eleven" showed Systematic Death still wreaking havoc and forever a force to be reckoned with.
