“Punks were made before sounds!” – VIVISICK
Tokyo, Japan-based VIVISICK will drop their ravenous new second full-length later this month via Tankcrimes Records. Titled, Nuked Identity, the ten-track bruiser and follow-up to 2008’s smolderingRespect And Hate long player was tracked at Sonic Band Studio in Tokyo, mixed and mastered at UGA Chaotic and boasts twenty-three-minutes of deliciously manic hardcore punk doused in boisterous singalongs, melody and wackiness for fans of The Stalin, Toy Dolls, 625 and traditional Japcore.
Comments vocalist Sunao: “The god named ‘economy’ was exposed. Absolute existence has begun to fluctuate. People have fallen into identity crisis. What am I? Where is the answer? It is coming time to seek it. I feel each of us will have to find it. In that meaning, this title ‘Nuked Identity’ includes our wish. We will find our new identity and build them again.”
