TAIFUN - KAIJU POWER 7''

MULTICOLORED VINYL.

Hailing from the western county of North Rhine/Westphalia, Germany, TAIFUN brings 2 masterfully constructed Burning Spirits inspired hardcore rippers. Members have played in such bands as BURIAL and BOMBENALARM which is no surprise once you hear these songs. The vocals sound so Japanese, it’s hard to imagine the singer as a German guy yelling lyrics about a smog monster named Hedorah and the power of Kaiju. As bass driven as this record is, the solos and guitar work are sometimes reminiscent of the late Chelsea of PAINTBOX/DEATHSIDE, resurrecting a style that has been overlooked in the modern hc scene in recent years. While this is complete Japanese hardcore worship, TAIFUN keep it really interesting and fun with their take on the genre. The noisy soundscapes, specifically the end of side A (Kaiju Power) complete the package, urging the listener to flip the record repeatedly. Well executed, and a nice tease into what this band promises to give us in the future!\n\nRecorded by POGO marc 2023\n\nMastered by DANIEL HUSAYN @ NORTH LONDON BOMB FACTORY\n\nSamples and Synths recorded by SEBO\n\nKaiju Design by HORIMITSU\n\nFlying Hedorah by LOTTE\n\nTranslation by YOSHI\n\nRisoprint Cover by SUPERKOLOR
