TRANSGRESSOR x Asakusa Deathfest 2019
We are here with an exciting news today! Who is Japanese doomy death metal band from the early 90’s scene? You know the answer right? One of the bands that Japan is proud of today and a legendary band, it is TRANSGRESSOR!!!
Formed in 1989 by Takashi (Dr/Vo) (Anatomia/Wormridden/Necrophile) and Junichi (Gt/Ba/Vo) after splitting up of the former band GAMVETTA, released two demos and one full-length album "Ether for Scapegoat" by Cyber Music in 1992. They were active playing local gigs around in 1992 with the complete line-up back then that was Takashi (Dr/Vo), Akihito (Ba, ex-Jurassic Jade), Kimihide (Gt, ex-Melt Down/Quench), and Yoshio (Gt, ex-Necro-E). Their music was pure grinding death in their earlier demo era, but shifted to slower death doom with more complex riff/tempo changes in the EFS and later period. One of the first bands that incorporated doom elements in the early DM scene.
Don't miss this chance to see them back together at ADF 2019 because it will be their first reunion show (in home ground Tokyo) since 2015, and especially with addition of guitarist Satoshi (from Spiral Wheel, ex-Sabbat) for their old set!
90年代の日本のデスドゥームバンドと言えば？ そう！日本が誇る重鎮、TRANSGRESSOR！
前身のGAMVETTA解散後、1989年にTakashi（Dr/Vo、Anatomia/Wormridden/Necrophile）、Junichi（Gt/Ba）によって結成され、デモ2本とオランダのレーベルCyber Musicからアルバム”Ether for Scapegoat”をリリース。1992年、Takashi (Dr/Vo)、Akihito (Ba、ex-Jurassic Jade)、Kimihide (Gt、ex-Melt Down/Quench)、Yoshio (Gt、ex-Necro-E)の4人編成でライブをやっていたが、後に活動停止。初期デモ時代ではグラインドデスだったが”Ether for Scapegoat”以降はリフ展開が多い遅重デスドゥーム。当時のデスメタルシーンでは早くからドゥーム要素を取り入れたバンドの1つである。2015年にもリユニオンショウをやっているが浅草デスフェスト 2019ではギタリスト Satoshi (Spiral Wheel、ex-Sabbat)が加入し初の国内ライブとなるので絶対に見逃してはならない！！
