The third release in commemoration of the 15th anniversary of the debut of 'Kawagoe's Cruel King' Utsutsukotsu! In addition to selections from his previously released albums, this 2-LP set includes one new song, one song not included in the album, and three re-recorded songs!Gotsutsukotsu specializes in an extreme sound that combines the fast-paced feel of thrash metal with the brutality of death metal, and features Japanese lyrics themed on the romance of the samurai sung in a death voice. To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the debut of 'Kawagoe's Cruel King', a best album and a collection of rare recordings will be released simultaneously! The third release of the best collection to commemorate the 15th anniversary of the debut, the analog version of the best collection, will include selections from 'Karma - Retributive Justice' (3rd album: 2015), 'Hyodo Moga Yume no Ato - Where Warriors Once Dreamed a Dream' (4th album: 2016), 'Seisui no Jin - The Final Stand' (5th album: 2018), and 'Yomi Gaheri - Back From The Underworld' (6th album: 2023), which were produced by the current members, as well as re-recordings of three songs from 'Mouryou' (1st album) released in 2009 and 'Kage no Densetsu - Legend of Shadow' (2nd album) released in 2013, as well as one new song and one song not included in the album, making the content slightly different from the CD released at the same time. Akita's drums, which are heavy and resonant despite the many moves, are played at high speed, Enjoji's solid guitar spins out melodic phrases with furious speed playing, and Takahata's vocals and bass are driven by his demonic growls and superb slapping bass, creating a unique, extreme sound with a great driving feel. In addition, the song titles and lyrics, which mix kanji and kana to amplify the sinister feeling, and the traditional Japanese costumes, make this a work that reaffirms their unique originality. This is a best album that is suitable for beginners and enthusiasts alike. [Members]Haruo Takahata (Ba, Vo),Keiichi Enjoji (G), Hiroki Akita (Ds)
