Death Side – Bet On The Possibility (1991)

April 27, 2019

Death Side are a Japanese crust punk band that hark back to the glory days of Discharge / Exploited era crossover, thrown together with some of the grimier aspects of the more upbeat skate punk kinda sound. This results in lightening fast thrashing riffs and a metallic hardness meeting a chaotic blend of hardcore and catchy sensibility that comes from the other genres. Some of the messier bits really bring Hellbastard to mind. It is really blended so perfectly. I had never heard of these guys until I saw them in OEF a few years ago, but they are so good.
