TERRORIZING TOKYO WITH ANARCHY, VIOLENCE, GROWLS, & MANIC RIFFAGE.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a mega photo-dump of vocalist Sakevi Yokoyama of G.I.S.M. playing a show at The Loft, Shinjuku, Tokyo, c. 1992/1993? Pics of the late, great Randy Uchida and one (very blurry) shot of bassist Kiichi Takahashi are also featured. 📸: ❓

"These weren’t taken that long before Sakevi would be arrested for attempting to set a man on fire with a makeshift flamethrower on the Tokyo subway."

RIP Sakevi Yokoyama

when i was more active in music, GISM was definitely one of my road maps.

a lot (and i mean A LOT) of bands took the surface noise of GISM (the metal riffs, the guttural vocals, the collage art, the violence) and ran with that as their primary influence source. but what i got out of them (and Sakevi in particular) was how to build your own universe through the song titles, lyrics, art, and performance of the material, making it your own. Misfits did that. Von did that. Plasmatics did that. Nuclear Death did that. Eyehategod did that. Foetus did that. Naked City did that. Integrity did that. Big Black did that. Lydia Lunch does that. Rorschach did that. Kickback did that.... and so on (babbling babbling). it makes what your doing feel more handmade... more intense... more pure and direct... more your own.

RIP

PIC INFO: Spotlight on Tokyo-based hardcore punk/heavy metal band G.I.S.M., performing live at the LOFT in Shinjuku, Tokyo, c. January, 1982.

Been wanting to post this one for too long already, and it's definitely one of the more well known live G.I.S.M. shots to be found online. Rest in eternal noise, Hiroshima, Sakevi, Randy, GISM. 💥💀🇯🇵

Apparently there’s word going around that Sakevi from GISM has passed away, but I can’t find any confirmed reports. Extreme before extreme.

Looks like the news about Sakevi has been confirmed :( Kind of struggling to reconcile the amount of people we've lost in the last ten days.
