9. BECOMING GOD (5.42)

Rieu’s bleak-yet-beautiful original visions ripped apart in a remix tour-de-force from Jude.


From the atmospheric ambience of LONG PIG and sinister BECOMING GOD to the frankly funky REBEL ACTION REMIX and dancefloor-friendly A NEW MACHINE, this epic 9-track EP twists and turns in totally unexpected musical directions while maintaining the visceral punch and haunting qualities that DESPAIR’s audience has come to expect.

4-to-the-floor EBM dancebeats fuse effortlessly with breakcore and breakbeat elements to create a CD with a pleasing unity…yet no 2 tracks the same.


Crystal-clear production, presented in a beautiful full-colour gatefold maxi-jacket: an essential addition to every DESPAIR fan’s collection.

1. DEFINE 3.00
2. ENVY 3.36
3. MY WAY OUT 3.03
4. THIRTEENTH 3.28
5. SUBSTITUTE 2.47
6. HEAVEN 2.49

MORTIFICATION MADE ME is SAWDUST IN ME’s debut EP, slickly polished by the production-skills of Jude (DESPAIR/SINS OF THE FLESH), and includes all the band’s best-known dance tracks such as THIRTEENTH and DEFINE (completely re-recorded and re-worked from the demo versions originally downloadable from MySpace): plus the slower controlled-aggression of SUBSTITUTE and the haunting instrumental HEAVEN.


A combination of driving EBM, distorted breakbeats and powerful violent vocals, SAWDUST IN ME are already receiving widespread club-play from Japanese DJs and being invited to play at major events around the country. MORTIFICATION MADE ME is certain to bring them the international interest and recognition they richly deserve.


A female duo hailing from Osaka, SAWDUST IN ME only formed in 2005: yet have already produced a startling amount of catchy and dynamic material, and seem set only to improve still further with time. Definitely one to watch for the future!


MORTIFICATION MADE ME’s pink-and-chocolate exterior, adorned with cakes and appealing animals, conceals a sweetly-savage content. Although there is an undeniably poppy and appealing element to SAWDUST IN ME's music, it is a primal and industrial experience. Their dancefloor-friendly sound should appeal to fans of DEMONOID 13, while the digital-hardcore elements and atmospheric ambience are more akin to DESPAIR.


Overall, an essential addition to the DEATHWATCH ASIA roster: available at the ludicrously-low introductory price of just ¥1000 / €7.00!

Extreme death-rave from Nagoya!


Originally released in a home-produced ink-jet jacket, DEATHWATCH ASIA is proud to present this fully professionally-packaged reissue of DEMONOID 13's devastatingly-heavy debut from 2005.


5 tracks of relentless horror-EBM from the basement of Hell, GATE OF DEATH is quite simply the most powerful dance-music the J-Goth scene has produced to date: unsurprising given that frontman Fixer-D is probably the hardest DJ in Japan.


Featuring the original version of SATANIC PANZER UNIT, as remixed by SINS OF THE FLESH on the DARK WATERS compilation!

2. MPD CONFLICT 4.08

DESPAIR produce the most extreme form of industrial music in existence in Japan today.


New 5-track EP 'Deserted Technology Riot' redefines the brutal vision first laid out in 2004's debut 'Beautiful Japanese Sight', with track speeds reaching the 180-220bpm mark.


First vomited forth by a stagnant Japanese music scene in 2001, DESPAIR quickly rose to prominence thanks to an uncompromisingly aggressive sound and dynamic stage presence.


In 2005, DESPAIR made their European debut with dates in the U.K. and at 'Wave Gotik Treffen', sharing the stage with such luminaries as Psyclon Nine and Haujobb.
Guitar, bass and drums - the traditional tools of a rock band - have been abandoned in favour of a totally technological approach.


All original and found sounds are mangled and re-processed into a brutal industrial sound-collage which recalls the structural approach of classic Skinny Puppy, punctuated by periods of ambient tranquility reminiscent of a melancholy film score.
This musical style is mirrored in the lyrics, where the intentionally-scrambled English forms new rhythmic patterns of meaning akin to the cut-up texts of William Burroughs, delivered in the twin primal screams of front-duo Rieu and Ana.


DESPAIR - the greatest hope of Japan's emerging industrial scene.


DESPAIR - the cyberpunk soundtrack of 21st-century Tokyo's disaffected underground.
