Napskint

Napskint CD SamplerNapskint was also handing out CDs after the Bat Cave show. This CD sampler has got two songs on it, “Jump Up” and “Proof of Live”.

I’ve listened to it a couple of times, I think “Jump Up” has a little System of a Down flavor to it, and I think it’s the better of the two songs. I didn’t get much out of the second song; not meaning it’s bad, just doesn’t come across as anything memorable - I wonder if it was the best choice for a sampler.

They have a nice web site, with some videos and pics, so I might check them out a little more. I liked they at least made an effort towards English visitors by having a little translation link up on the home page.

I also liked the artwork on the CD sampler and the insect imagery.

(This was the 3rd and last CD I got at the Bat Cave show. No more CD reviews until I get some new stuff to listen to.)

    Hey ya!
    I was surprised to find a little comment to this napskint sampler. In fact no one of my Japanese mail contacts knew this band. I’ve found their CD in a little Japanese shop in Bremen (Germany)…so it’s clear, where I’m from (the reason for my bad English?!)
    I couldn’t visit their homepage, yet, but I like this Japanese SoaD style!

    So…It’ll be nice if there’s more information you can give me about them?!

    Knut,

    What’s up!

    I haven’t been back up to Tokyo since then (I live in Okinawa, a southern island of Japan), so I don’t have any more info to give. I think I’ll be going back up in a few months, so maybe I’ll run across something then.

    I think it’s cool you are checking out Japanese metal, be sure to check out some of the Okinawan metal bands too!

    Jason
