   About G.I.S.M.
GISM (also G.I.S.M.) were a Japanese hardcore punk band (with strong metal leanings) formed in Japan in 1981. They were composed of vocalist Sakevi Yokoyama (real name Shigehisa. "Sakevi" being a corrupted "sakebi" - a shout, or scream of "MURDER!"), guitarist Randy Uchida, bassist Kannon (sometimes known as "Cloudy", later replaced by Kiichi Takahashi in the 90's), and drummer Monamour Hiroshima (replaced by Ironfist Tatsushima around the same time Kannon threw in the towel). GISM often used heavy metal style guitar solos and riffs, while at the same time drawing much influence from the early industrial/avant-garde music scene, something extremely uncommon in punk bands at that time. GISM were widely known for the extreme violence present in their lyrics, and live shows. Sakevi would often march about the stage clad in a balaclava and covered with bullets, waving lit flares in audience members faces, throwing microphone stands, rocks, and attacking concert goers as Vietnam War footage was projected behind him. Onstage he would go as far as to attack photographers who took pictures of him and chase audiences with a flamethrower. GISM have attained a cult status in the hardcore punk scene, probably due to their violent attitude and bizarre artworks/performances,coupled with the legends surrounding them. The acronym GISM has never had a constant meaning attached to it. Variations include God In The Schizoid Mind, Guerilla Incendiary Sabotage Mutineer, General Imperialism Social Murder and Gnostic Idiosyncrasy Sonic Militant. Randy Uchida passed on in Feb 10th 2001 due to cancer, Sakevi continued to contribute his unique brand stlTH® of collage art to the world, and started his own line of t-shirts. Ironfist Tatushima went on to play in the bands Die You Bastard! and Crow which he had been playing with before he joined G.I.S.M.. Kiichi was formerly the vocalist of mega popular satanic metal band Sabbrabells. (taken from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GISM)

HERE'S WHAT SOME PEOPLE SAID ABOUT GISM ON THE INTERNET (..and it's funny):
“GISM rules so bad. M.A.N. is probably my favorite, face melting axemanship”
“The riffs fucking slay you” “SKV sounds like fucking satan and the guitars are just absolutely mad”
“Seriously, it fucking shreds my ass before melting my face from inside, making me look like some sort of grotesque studded ice cream cone on a hot summer day.”
