Keiji Haino: The Prince of Darkness They Called Him
...
In the immortal words of Tim Dog: "No One Can Do It Better".
I've been convinced of Haino-san's (competent, aren't we?) immortal nature from word one. The formulaic covers to his albums (all black), the unheard of vocal stylings (kinda like a reverse Nina Simone?), the transcendent nature of his voice, guitar, percussion, hurdy gurdy, or any gosh darn material object he wishes to create with.
This is Fushitsusha, Haino's blues rock trio (quartet, duo, whaaaatever strike the master's fancy). Keiji's been known to shout out San Fran's pre-heavy metal trio Blue Cheer as a bona fide influence to Fushitsusha. Blue Cheer's Legend: known for playing so heavy in concert that a dog once died on stage from the band's volume (hippies brought dogs to shows way back when. Longhairs... ) Fushitsusha's Legend: The power to resurrect that life.
This double live album (from Japanese wet dream rock 'n' roll fantasy camp label P.S.F.), is straight manna bananas!
