u/NoMorePain1987

Pulling out an absolute underground gem from the late 80s Japanese metal scene today.

This is the original 1989 self-released demo tape by CASBAH (Catalog No. CAS-001).

By 1989, Casbah had evolved from their raw, chaotic early days into an absolute riff-machine.

This tape captures them at the peak of the golden era of Japanese Thrash Metal, delivering incredible speed and tighter, more technical aggression that could easily rival the Bay Area scene.

Finding one of these original self-distributed tapes in such beautiful condition with the iconic monster artwork intact is a miracle even here in Japan.

Pure 1980s tape-trading history right here.

Any old-school thrashers or extreme metal fans in the sub remember this legendary band?

Checking out one of the absolute pillars of 80s Japanese Thrash Metal today.

This is OUTRAGE's debut full-length album "Black Clouds" released in 1988 on Polydor Japan.

Back then, the Japanese heavy metal magazine "BURRN!" (pictured below) featured them with the headline:

"The Japanese Heavy Tank that makes you forget the distance to the rest of the world."

And they weren’t lying.

Their sound was just as heavy, fast, and aggressive as the Bay Area thrash scene,

but with that unique Japanese intensity.

Super happy to have this copy in pristine condition with the original hype sticker still on the shrink. Anyone else here into 80s J-Thrash like Outrage, Doom?

Sharing this absolute masterpiece of Japanese Thrash Metal.

This is CASBAH legendary "Infinite Pain"demo from 1987.

Pure raw energy from start to finish.

Anyone else into classic Japanese thrash?

What's your favorite track?

Maybe a bit more melodic than the usual thrash/death here,

but this 1987 Japanese metal classic goes incredibly hard.

(P.S

If this vibe is a bit too melodic for this sub,I'll get back on the heavier track next time.)
