Rashōmon – “Pathogen X” LP
The debut album Pathogen X (that also goes under the Japanese translation of 病原菌X), released at the end of 2018 by Iron Lung Records. New generation Washington DC punk, somewhere between the Faith/Void split (both bands, both sides), Gray Matter’s wilder moments and the punchy rage of Japanese hardcore legends Deathside and Gauze (crucially, Rashomon’s singer is Japanese) – providing the Revolution Summer connection to Burning Spirits hardcore that until now was merely a fantastical dream. This is seriously good 2019 hardcore.
