A fitting tribute to one of Japan’s most influential underground acts, this entry focuses on the compilation “Skullping: A Tribute To Gastunk.” Released in 1999 on the Reveil label, this 12-inch vinyl LP (catalog number GT-006L) showcases a diverse array of bands from the Japanese hardcore, punk, and metal scenes paying homage to Gastunk.
This album gathers ten different artists, each putting their unique spin on a classic Gastunk track. It’s a testament to the wide-reaching influence Gastunk had, inspiring bands across multiple heavy genres.
The tracklist features contributions from notable underground acts, including:
Dessert (“Devil”) Aggressive Dogs (“Sex”) Cocobat (“Geronimo”) Geronimo (“In The Fire”) Balzac (“胎児 [Sad]”) デスマーチ艦隊 + 冠徹弥 With The Sect (“Running To The Sun”) The Strummers (“Mr. Gazime”) 雷矢 (Raia) (“Red Indian’s Rock”) Up Hold (“Leather Ship (地下の覇者)”) 4 Embalmer (“The Eyes”)This compilation is a snapshot of the late 90s Japanese underground, united in celebrating the legacy of Gastunk. For fans of the band and the broader Japanese punk/metal scene, “Skullping” (GT-006L) offers a fascinating listen, demonstrating the enduring impact of Gastunk’s music through the interpretations of a new generation of artists.
