業火 1993-2007 全音源集 by GOUKA

Unbeknown to the quiet city of Morioka, GOUKA’s DEADLY NOISE BLASTING HARDCORE PUNK rests like a chest full of treasure. The members have moved on to play in a band called Rappa, but the full discography of the original “GOUKA" will be released here.
Put simply, they play hardcore that roars, yet simplifying their sound would be a lie to their actual sound. Tempos sprint and bounce with an untamed ferocity. The guitars and bass rampage through a scenery saturated with intentional noise. Vocals rage at the frontline, spitting out fingerprinted lyrics, never to be swallowed by the instrumentals. The music is undeniably rooted in D-BEAT, but it has flowered into something with a hint of “something else.” That something’s name remains unknown, as though naming it would be foolish—something GOUKA knew when creating their music.
All 50 songs of GOUKA’s discography ranging from their appraised 12 inch “Program” to their preciously hidden cassettes, have been remastered and recorded onto this set of 2 CDs.

DEADLY NOISE BLAST HARDCORE PUNK!盛岡が生んだ至宝、現在のRappaまで繋がる歴史の起源である"GOUKA"の全音源集が遂にリリースされる。
ストレートに轟音で鳴らすハードコアだが、GOUKAのサウンドは一口に説明する事が難しい。独特のテンポ感で跳ねるように疾走するリズム。ノイジーながらただのノイズではなく、迫力を帯びたままの勢いで暴れまわるギターとベース。唯一無二の語感と歌詞のチョイスで吐き出されるボーカルは、決してバンドサウンドに飲み込まれる事なくフロントに立ち続ける。D-BEATが根幹にある事は否定出来ないが、一聴すれば"それ"とは違う異質な何かを感じる事が出来るだろう。敢えて言葉で括るなんてくだらない事なんだと、GOUKAは当時から体現していたのだ。
今も名盤として語り継がれる12インチ"PROGRAM"から貴重なカセットテープ音源まで、リマスターを施し、余す事なく収録したCD2枚組、全50曲収録。
