Slang formed in 1988 (Sapporo, Japan), but unlike many of their peers, still record on a regular basis, and tour
frequently, even in parts of the United States. Unlike many other Japanese hardcore bands, they’ve produced their fair
share of albums, not just EPs, singles, and splits. Their latest album was 2012's Glory Outshines Doom but at this point
the Japanese hardcore influence has bled enough into the contemporary conversation that they simply sound modern.
Glory Outshines Doom… a very Burning Spirits sentiment!

Holy punch in the balls! The first time I heard this band from Sapporo, Japan was on their Skilled Rhythm Kills CD; they
ripped me a new one that took some time to heal. This release sounds even more punishing and shows growth as a
band. Thick and heavy Discharge riffage with added metallic flair is the backbone of the powerful sound. The vocals are
so gruff and forcefully screamed that you can imagine spit flying into your eyes. A dirty yet punchy bass guitar fills the
sound with a thud of bottom end and adds to the force of the music. The drumming sounds like the skins are taking a
severe beating and barely made it through the recording session. All together, anger amplified. As more bands from
Japan have come over to the states to tour, this is one band I hope to see on our shores. –Donofthedead

Japan’s hardcore scene ages back to 1980, but the most notable bands from the land of the rising sun seldom get
recognition the way their peers from Finland or Sweden do. Like an exotic species growing unique in isolation, Japanese
hardcore began with foreign influences—most notably Discharge—and took the sound in radical directions. Even in the
information age, learning about Japanese hardcore was a headache...What appears through the static is cryptic: band
members with bizarre stage names, rumors of yakuza connections, and the term Burning Spirits.
Burning Spirits is a term given to the most popular collection of Japanese hardcore bands. Named after a series of
venues, the Burning Spirits bands fused crust punk with the instrumental ferocity of ’80s speed metal and upbeat
self-empowering lyrics. Moreso than other Discharge-loving bands, Burning Spirits acts love flashy guitar solos. These
bands hold a small but crucial niche in the international scene: Forward routinely plays Chaos in Tejas, and the Burning
Spirits sound in general had a huge influence on Disfear, Tragedy, and by extension the entire Kurt Ballou-core
movement. There is no Kvelertak without Paintbox.
The sound was more familiar than i expected, but the aesthetic was not. As much as hardcore typically shunned material
culture, Japanese hardcore, and Burning Spirits in particular, flirts with glam rock, and often sports lavish fashion
statements with bright colors. Burning Spirits bands had an impact on the early visual kei bands-that scene eventually
spawned some of japan’s most commercially successful hard rock acts including X Japan. - Invisible Oranges
