Relapse has sprung a deal with Cherry Nishida to rerelease Zouo's Agony憎悪Remains album, plus a new record from their current band, S.H.I., 4 死 Death, both of which release on digital and LP formats on April 23.
Agony憎悪Remains is a collection of Zouo's recrded material, including the 1984 debut 7" The Final Agony, plus 9 live songs -- a full track listing is included at the end of the post.
S.H.I. (Struggling Harsh Immortals) is Nishida's current project which blends metal, punk, and industrial elements. Listen to "Blood Lust" (below) to get an idea.
In between the two projects discussed here, Nishida also performed with Danse Macabre.
Following ZOUO's releases, mastermind Cherry Nishida delved deeper into Japanese hardcore, forming DANSE MACABRE - a band solely dedicated on honing into the psychology of a serial killer.
