This event rethinks screamo not as a genre, but as a form of deviation.
Four experimental bands, crossing neocrust, extreme noise, and hardcore. Some original contexts may be lost along the way, but new ones are born through unexpected combinations.
Featuring ILIAS, a rare ICTVS-style neocrust/hardcore band in Japan.
nhomme, a solitary presence blending screamo and experimental sound.
Ralm, returning from Nagoya for a long-awaited comeback—Tokyo, don’t miss this.
And REDSHEER, pushing further into extreme sound with their upcoming material.
Will this lineup blend smoothly? Probably not. And that’s exactly the point.
Friction is where something real happens.
The show will be performed in a floor-style setup, surrounding the bands.
Lighting and video direction by Shiraiwa Edit.
We’ll also include something special this time:
a live, in-between-sets commentary by 3LA’s Mizutani, breaking down each band in real time. Think of it as a DIY scene version of a deep-dive music guide. Even if you’ve seen these bands before, you might experience them in a completely new way.
The event will end early (around 9PM).
No smartphone filming allowed at the front row.
See you there.
