BCR-01 Origin of M 12"

Origin of M 12" release on Tuesday!

I picked up the vinyl this morning, it's still in the trunk of my car so pictures will have to wait until tomorrow. It's going to be $9.50 postpaid (including paypal fee) in the US, payable to buraicore@gmail.com. I've been working on setting up the digital download code tonight, but now it's time to fold diapers and go sleep (glamorous, I know). In the meantime, you can now listen to the entire record here

New Releases

Got the latest batch of HG Fact releases.  First up is the Himei 7", reissue of their first self-released ep, now on split red/yellow splatter vinyl.  Bit reminiscent of the Stalin.  Next is the Zone CD/DVD.  Compiling their early 7"s and compilation tracks, I prefer the slightly rawer sound of this to their LP.  The DVD has live material from throughout the years.  Very nice package.  I've seen them twice, killer band, and I guess I was lucky because they have only played Tokyo a few times ever.  Burly, anthemic hardcore, the type I love.  Restocked the amazing Paintbox DVD.  Got a few Kriegshog discography CDs and already only have two left.  Compiles their demo, 7", both splits, LP and mystery bonus track, full booklet, great sound so you can hear all the distorted noise in crystal clarity.  Honestly really good, and I'm not really one for "raw lo fi D beat".  Kriegshog were many notches above that sort.  Playing their last show at Chaos In Tejas with a special guest second guitarist, Souichi from Forward.  And last but not least, the new Warhead single (front and back cover pictured).  Two noisy thrashers with guest guitarist Jacky from Framtid filling in.  Crucial as always.

Recent video of Warhead playing at the Studio Dom rehearsal space in Kouenji.  I can't even imagine what it would be like to see them in a tiny room like this.

Remember to include your zip code when reserving so I can calculate postage, email orders to buraicore@gmail.com, and check out the sale and regular lists below.

悲鳴 (Himei) s/t 7"  $11
Kriegshog CD  $16
Paintbox "Anarchy, Madness & Love" DVD  $28
Warhead "This World of Confusion/Acceleration" 7"  $6
Zone "Win Back To Sanity" CD/DVD  $21

Origin of M 12" nearing completion

The Origin of M 12" jackets arrived yesterday, the lyric sheets arrived a week or two ago, and I should have vinyl before Memorial Day.  So assuming there are surprises, I will start shipping them May 31st.  I will have prices up soon, just need to settle a couple little things.

They are playing three times at Chaos In Tejas including the first day's after party with Tragedy at the Broken Neck and will have 12"s for those shows (as well as tour).

Burai Core Release 01 - Origin of M 12"

I'm taking the plunge back into the label game after a ten year break.  First up is the debut 12" from Origin of M.  Hiroshima City Hardcore style, featuring Mr. Guy from Gudon, Cavemen and the man behind Bloodsucker Records.  Needless to say, raging stuff with its own sound.  This is the first time on vinyl for the first CD originally released by Under The Surface.  All new artwork by the master Sugi.  They will be playing Chaos In Tejas and touring through the midwest, hitting the east and west coasts before flying home.  Also look for the second CD on Straight Up, it smokes.
