Harkenkreuz demo

Here is the "Horstwessel" demo of Japanese thrash band Harkenkreuz.
Their music kinda reminds me of Rosenfeld.

Damn, I was just going to post this, just never got around to it.

This is seriously one of THE best bands I have ever fucking heard.

I can't find any info on the band at all, all I know is I think they only released this demo, the singers name is Sadaya and was inspired by Hisayoshi of Rosenfeld, and I think this band later changed their name to Grudge Curse, who I think have a few CD's out.

This rip seems to be the same as mine with all the fucking clicks and hissing, I used a program to edit them out once but it seemed to affect the rest of the songs too much.

They appeard on Emergency Express '95 ~ The Strange Boutique omnibus album too with a song "SS Psycho". I guess it could be the track "psycho..." with a different name. Anyway a great band with an EVIL sound.

Holy shit, this is great. Thanks for this!
The clicks actually sound like a radation detector.

I checked and I read the title on the release is "SS Psycho..." with the same ... , so it's probably the same song (different recording).

I checked two websites with the tracklist and the other one said it's SS Psycho written with katakanas and the other actually states it's "Psycho..." like in that demo so I am also pretty sure it's a re-recording etc.

i made a rip of this from my demo a long time ago. but i only ripped the last 2 tracks if i remember right. ha. so not much use i guess.

anyway this band was also on a comp video with 2 other bands. one was samurai brondies, i forgot the other though.

The demo was produced by Hisayoshi of Rosenfeld.

That Japanese R/L thing again.. A mystery worthy of it's own thread.

Other band was called D.E.A.D. and they were actually called Samurai Blondies (at least on that tape they were), the tape was called BLACK BOX PEEL SESSIONS

That video tape sounds like a real ripper
