***Sapporo, Japan's SLANG’s sixth LP may be the most definitive expressions of the bands long journey as part of and evolution within the history of Japanese hardcore. Starting in the late 1980s as a classic sounding Japanese hardcore band, Slang’s sound became heavily influenced in the 1990s by NYHC like Agnostic Front, Madball and slower breakdowns as a means for impact, In the 2000s the band embraced more metallic influences and slowly began to seam all of it together,: the tough, growling vocals, the slow, crushing breakdowns, raging guitar leads, lightening fast hardcore charge. Their previous two albums The Immortal Sin and Life Made Me Hardcore began the road to this, but Glory Outshines Doom goes to another level of combining all these elements to create an intense, dark, completely and totally brutal record, crashing barriers between punk, metal and hardcore. Issued on CD by Pizza Of Death, this is its first appearance on vinyl and comes in a heavy weight sleeve with full color inner sleeve and labels.
LP $12.00
