JAPANISCHE KAMPFHORSPIELE "BILDER FRESSEN STROM" (CD, UNUNDEUX RECORDS, 2010)

JAPANISCHE KAMPFHORSPIELE

AN BLASTING NEW ALBUM FULL OF SURPRISES.
THAT WE CAN EXPECT FROM THIS GERMAN BAND? - A FINE PIECE OF GRIND!!! EACH TIME JAKA SURPRISES US WITH SOME NEW STUFF IN THEIR SOUND (I WONDER HOW MANY NEW TRICKS THEY KEEP IN THE CLOSET) THIS RELEASE HAS LEAST OF ALL ELECTRONIC STUFF NEVERTHELESS IT HAS A POWERFUL AND CLEAR SOUND OF GRIND. THE MAIN FEATURE OF THIS RECORD IS AN OLD SCHOOL PUNK INFLUENCE THAT FLOW FROM ONE SONG TO ANOTHER. VOCAL LINES ARE STILL THE SAME AS ON PREVIOUS JAKA RELEASES FAST AND FURIOUS... SO IF YOU'RE A REAL FAN OF JAKAGRIND - THIS BELONGS TO YOU, IF YOU'RE A FAN OF OLD SCHOOL PUNK / HARDCORE / CRUSTCORE / GRINDCORE - CHECK IT OUT YOU WON'T BE DISAPPOINTED . HIGHLY RECOMMENDED BY DEADWEBZINE



ESTABLISHED 1998 BY CHRISTOF KATHER AND KLAUS NICODERU IN A DORM, JAPANISCHE KAMPFHÖRSPIEILE (AKA JAKA) RECORDED THEIR SONG MINIATURES ON CHEAPO TAPES THEY STUCK IN A DENTED OLD 8-TRACK MACHINE DURING THEIR EARLY YEARS. THE BAND BURNED THE RESULTS ON CD, DESIGNED THEIR COVERS AND PUT THEM ON A COLOR COPY MACHINE, AND THE FEW FINISHED PRODUCTS WERE SPREAD AMONG THEIR FRIENDS. AND THEY SAW TO IT THAT EVERYONE COULD DOWNLOAD THEIR STUFF FOR FREE ON MP3.COM. THE WORLDWIDE REACTIONS TO THEIR GRIND PUNK WITH GERMAN LYRICS WERE OVERWHELMING, SO SHORTLY AFTER, A SMALL SWISS LABEL RELEASED TWO ALBUMS BY THEM. DURING THAT TIME, MORE MUSICIANS JOINED THE LINE-UP, AND AT THE END OF 2003 (ON TIME FOR THE RELEASE OF "FERTIGMENSCH" ON BASTARDIZED RECORDINGS), THEY WERE ALSO ABLE TO PERFORM LIVE.
SINCE THEN, THE SEXTET HAS PLAYED COUNTLESS SHOWS (2008 ALSO ON BIG EUROPEAN FESTIVALS AND IN THE US), AND HAS RELEASED MORE THAN A HANDFUL OF ALBUMS, EPS, AND SPLIT SINGLES.

 2009 - IT'S ABOUT TIME FOR A BAND-OWNED RECORD LABEL. FIRST RELEASE ON UNUNDEUX: A JAKA EP CONTAINING 54 SHORT POEMS SET TO MUSIC. TEXT FRAGMENTS AND RIFFS WHICH SOMEHOW WOULDN'T GROW TO BECOME SONGS WITHIN THE LAST FIVE YEARS - ALTOGETHER, 19 MINUTES OF TOTAL PLAYING (OR MORE: SHREDDING) TIME.
