A cornerstone of Japanese hardcore, GISM’s Detestation is reissued by Relapse, restoring one of the most ferocious and influential punk records of the 1980s. Originally released in 1983, the album blends explosive hardcore aggression with heavy metal riffing, anarchist fury, and a chaotic energy that borders on the apocalyptic. Led by the enigmatic Sakevi Yokoyama, GISM forged a brutal, genre-defying sound that continues to inspire underground scenes worldwide. This long-overdue reissue brings new clarity and power to a cult classic — raw, confrontational, and utterly uncompromising. A vital document of punk’s most extreme and visionary fringes.
