Casbah, one of Japan’s most popular hardcore thrash punk metal bands, was formed back in 1983 by vocalist Taka Hatori and original guitarists Nariaki Kida and Tsutomu Enkawa. It was after current bassist Koichi Mitani and guitarist Ryo Murayama joined the band that they began performing in local clubs in Tokyo and its vicinity. The band’s first break came in 1986 when they released their 2nd 7inch single Russian Roulette / Death Metal. The release has coined the name Casbah on the international underground hardcore metal scene, receiving rave reviews from fanzines worldwide. Followed by another one of their iconic releases of the 80s, Infinite Pain (demo cassette), the band almost went on to sign with Noise Records, which fell apart. Unsigned to any labels, the band continued their pounding by releasing four demo cassettes until the mid 90s and also performing at New York’s CBGB’s, when finally they launch themselves a record deal with Roadrunner Records Japan in 1997, releasing their first full length album Bold Statement. Supporting their label-mates i.e. Sepultura, Machine Head, and Madball, the band in total releases four titles from Roadrunner before they decide to temporary bring the band to a halt in 2000. To celebrate the band’s 30th anniversary in 2013, with the addition of a new drummer Shu Ishikawa, the band began performing again, and in 2015 they release their 2nd full length album in 18 years Reach Out from B.T.H. Records. The band is currently seeking for a worldwide distribution of the album. For labels interested, please contact the band management on their official Facebook or Twitter page.
