Stubborn Father - Stubborn Father CD

https://stubbornfather.bandcamp.com/album/stubborn-father

The final album from Osaka's chaotic hardcore legends. All the CD exterior packaging is mirrored (pics are hard to do it justice).

"Listening to this album to the end, what remained with me was more emotion than excitement. The essential human emotions seep out from the philosophical lyrics, the toughness and sharpness of hardcore, and the melancholic clean parts are vividly painted on. It's truly human core. I also felt the soul that must have been passed down through the hardcore they've been honing for years. This is a truly fitting album for their 20th anniversary."
Suguru (SeeK)

"This album combines an unsettling atmosphere with both inward and outward exploding madness, penetrating the core they've had since their early days, and bringing together their current state, which has progressed deeply and become true."
Kenichi Washio (ANCHOR)

"What is the essence of STUBBORN FATHER? The raw and brutal soundscape, combined with fleeting phrases and meticulous compositions. The roars either flow freely through the story or act as a wall, blocking it out. Opposing elements are subdued and converged. This work is their innards."
Koreeda (TRIKORONA)

"With a strong will within them, they set out to reach the summit of the "mountain of creation," and at that lofty height, they created a sound that is utterly and unconventional. They question us and force us to confront. Will you rise to the challenge, simply bow down without resistance, or become a relativist who shrugs it all off? The choice is yours."
Yuichi Kasanuma (Kowloon Ghost Syndicate / ex. Gauge Means Nothing)

"Suffering, conflict, contradiction, frustration... they swallow it all and spit it out. This repetition forms extremely sharp words and a beautiful, distorted yet coherent melody. The powerful surge of energy born from the summit of the mountain of creation will affirm and strongly encourage those struggling to live. The dawn of truth, which lasted 51 minutes and 12 seconds, finally arrived after a sleepless night."
Keigo Kasahara (weepray)

"This is Japanese passionate hardcore!!!!"
Showhey (Totsugeki-Sensha / ex. TETOLA93)

"A story of righteous pain and rage, 120% concentrated, thrashing and screaming, thrashing and racing. A rebellious charisma cuts through the sleepy, flower-filled world and thrusts it forth with all its might. Someday, somewhere, it will inspire someone to fight."
Ryo (wombscape)

"For 52 minutes, sparks kept crackling in my head, and before I knew it, my consciousness was beyond awakening. Hardcore punk exposes a world gone mad and brings down the hammer. If you're still not human, devour this sound with all your senses."
Yuriaki Akasaka (Guilty Forest)
