Buried Issue Six of the Hardbound Zine

This issue surveys the brutal death metal scene in Japan, looking at both new bands, and those that have been stalwarts since the scene developed in the mid-nineties. As with previous editions of Buried, this issue hopes to trace a corner of the death metal scene. Many of the interviews were conducted in Japanese, giving access to bands who have not spoken to English language media before. Bands Included in this issue are VISCERA INFEST, GOREVENT, BUTCHER ABC, HOSTILE EYES, INFERNAL REVULSION, NEEDLE CONTAMINATED PORK, and AKIHIRO MUTO of MYOCARDIAL INFARCTION and VEIYADRA In a first for Buried, the interviewees also include a visual artist, TOSHIHIRO EGAWA, who has helped create the aesthetic for the Japanese and international brutal and slam metal scenes.
