V/A - Breaking Concept Vol. 1 CD

Five-way Japanese Screamo split from Impulse Records. 

"The first entry in a split series from Impulse Records that eventually reached six volumes, Breaking Concept gave label founder Akinori Ikawa the opportunity to highlight some of Japan’s brightest while theming each volume. This first collects five groups that were all Screamo adjacent. Each band contributed two songs. Flex, from Sendai, creates noisy, angular post-hardcore anthems. Nothing, Nothing, Nothing!, from Sapporo, play nostalgic, mid-tempo Screamo. Blue Ray Dance, from Nagoya, offer a dissonant and chaotic Screamo that borders on grindcore at some parts. TG. Atlas, also from Sapporo, attempt to blend art-punk and odd time signatures with dissonant Screamo. And finally, Threadyarn, from Fukuoka, play smart and unexpectedly chaotic post-hardcore that combines clean singing with passionate screams." - nikucube.com
