about

This discography looks back at more than 30 years of history in JAPANESE HARDCORE. HALF YEARS, comprised of ZIGYAKU(自虐), from bands like GUDON (愚鈍), SYSTEMATIC DEATH, BASTARD, JUDGEMENT; and MOTSU, from CHICKEN BOWELS known for their release Keep Our Fire Burning and their feature on the compilation My Meat's Your Poison;  played and disbanded in the span of half a year.

12 songs recorded in three releases mastered by MOTSU himself decorate this release. From the vivid 7" POWER!, which many bands still pay homage to, and the hall of fame of HANG THE SUCKER VOL.1 and HANG THE SUCKER VOL.2, needless to say, their sound is solid gold. This release retains the original atmosphere with a breath of fresh air through the original tapes recorded on POWER!.

愚鈍(GUDON)やSYSTEMATIC DEATH、BASTARD、JUDGEMENTなどJAPANESE HARDCOREを語る上で外す事の出来ない数々のバンドで活躍をしてきた自虐氏と、名作V.A「My Meat's Your Poison」や、唯一の単独作「Keep Our Fire Burning」などで今も高い評価を得ているCHICKEN BOWELSのMOTSU氏が、半年間のみの活動という事で結成したその名もHALF YEARS。あれから30余年の時を経て、その短くも濃密な活動を記録したディスコグラフィーCDが遂にリリースされる。
その音もさることながら、数多くのバンドがオマージュしたジャケットデザインも鮮烈な7インチ「POWER!」と、歴戦の名バンドが名を連ねるオムニバス「HANG THE SUCKER VOL.1」、「HANG THE SUCKER VOL.2」の計3作品に収録された全12曲。マスタリングはMOTSU氏自らが行い、「POWER!」収録曲に関してはオリジナルテープを使用。当時の空気感を保ったまま、新たな息吹をもたらした。
