"Over a decade after ceasing activities G.I.S.M. reappear for their first concert ever outside of their native Japan and the first concert since february 2002."

“When I got asked to curate Roadburn 2016, I obviously drew up a list of favourite bands and started a process of elimination. Then I thought about G.I.S.M.. I thought it was an extremely long shot for many reasons. Mainly because I knew that they had never performed outside of Japan but also, they hadn’t even performed a show in Japan for over a decade.
It’s hard to under-estimate the influence that G.I.S.M. has had on extreme music, particularly hardcore punk, over the years. I would say that alongside Discharge, they are probably the most influential in the raw and dirty world of metallic-edged, proper, noisy, hardcore.
I managed to track Sakevi down again and put forward a serious offer for G.I.S.M. to come over and perform at Rituals For The Blind Dead.
I couldn’t quite believe that it was actually going to happen.”
