Agathocles シカバネ - Just Injust シカバネ

Review by Herbal Teh Satoimo

Album Review: Just Injust シカバネ by Agathocles シカバネ Alright, let’s talk about Just Injust シカバネ, the gnarly 1997 release from Japan’s Agathocles シカバネ. If you’re into hardcore, grindcore, or thrash, this one’s a wild ride through chaos and raw energy. Released under Keloid Records, it’s got that unpolished, straight-from-the-garage vibe that makes you feel like you’re right there with the band as they rip through these tracks. First off, the album kicks off with “摩訶般若波羅蜜多心経” (yeah, try saying that five times fast). It’s heavy as hell, but what sticks out is how it blends traditional Japanese elements with all-out grindcore fury. The vocals are guttural, almost like a monk chanting through a storm of distortion. You don’t need to understand the lyrics to feel the intensity—it’s like the music itself is screaming at you. This track sets the tone for the rest of the record, and honestly? It’s hard to forget because it feels so out of the ordinary. Then there’s “Bio-Industry Fucked Up Humanity,” which is exactly what it sounds like—a pissed-off anthem about how messed up the world can be. The riffs are relentless, and Shigeru’s drumming is just insane. Like, I’m pretty sure he grew an extra arm while recording this one. The track has this chaotic breakdown halfway through that made me rewind it like three times. It’s the kind of song that gets stuck in your head not because it’s catchy, but because it’s so damn aggressive you can’t ignore it. The whole album has this DIY charm to it, thanks to engineer Fukuda keeping things raw and real. And props to Hiroko Matsushita for the photography—there’s something haunting about the cover art that matches the mood perfectly. Oh, and shoutout to Arai on bass and backing vocals; dude’s holding it down on those B-side tracks like a champ. What’s wild about Just Injust シカバネ is how it doesn’t try to be anything other than what it is: loud, messy, and full of rage. It’s not polished, it’s not perfect, and honestly? That’s why it works. By the time you get to “無..,” you’re left feeling kinda hollowed out, like you’ve been through some kind of sonic warzone. So yeah, if you’re looking for something that’ll punch you in the face and leave you thinking about it hours later, check this out. Just don’t blame me if your neighbors start complaining. Random thought: I wonder if Arai ever got tired of yelling his lungs out on those B-side tracks. Dude deserves a medal—or at least a really long nap.
