G.I.S.M - God In The Schizoid Mind

Ever since we first encountered "Endless Blockades For The Pussyfooter" on the P.e.a.c.e album, we have been haunted by a mild obsession for the strange and violent madness this Japanese uber-cult band represents.
In the pre-internet days it was virtually impossible to find any information about the band outside of Japan, which was then an impenetrable fortress for us monkey-like Gaijin. Cryptic and scarce references in Maximum Rock and Roll were all we could go by. Those few lines and the urge to at least hear their music were all we had back then, writing letters back and forth, trading Xth generation casette tapes and swapping powdery 80's xeroxes.
Now, several years and several trips to Japan later, we rest our bloated middle aged corpses in front of the PC and dedicate our emptiness to filling your void. The internet makes it amazingly easy to provide all the info we scraped together to all you lazy-ass post nuclear computer kids. Be thankful.
Many are the rumours and gossip we could share with you but we wont. For us G.I.S.M. still represent elusiveness, mystery and the lure of danger. The boundary between music and actual threat is often blurry and on an exploration too deep into the heart of darkness you may very well find yourself looking into the abyss (and other cliches). If you want to pursue these shaky notions any further we suggest you do it on your own. (Yours truly 1999)

Some after thoughts...
Went through this site a little bit, and realized some parts are a bit dated. There seems to be a hyper inflation of all things hardcore going on these days with copies of Detestation fetching as much as $270 on e-bay recently. Even while it's has never been cheap or easy to find (already going for about $80/$100 in the late 80's/ early 90's) this comes as somewhat of a surprise. Brings back memories of hanging out in Tokyo with a bunch of punx, dead drunk, ripping the needle off Detestation and throwing it on the floor only to cranck up Systematic Death. Punk-f*cking rock if you ask me. Anyway, working on an overhaul. I'm just sayin'.

In memory of Randy Uchida
