Unearthing a Rarity from the Japanese Metal Underground: Excuriver’s “In Hard Time”
Venturing into the world of privately pressed, independent records can often lead to the discovery of incredible hidden gems. A perfect case in point is the debut album from the Japanese heavy metal band Excuriver, titled “In Hard Time,” released on the Heaven’s Heaven label with the catalog number HEAVEN7377-02.
For collectors and devoted fans of Japanese heavy metal, independent releases from the 80s and 90s represent a particularly exciting and raw period. These were bands operating outside the major label system, driven purely by a passion for the music. Excuriver’s “In Hard Time” is a fantastic example of this underground scene.
The album delivers a powerful and authentic heavy metal sound. The music is characterized by driving, melodic guitar riffs, a tight and powerful rhythm section, and strong, clear vocals. While firmly rooted in the traditional heavy metal style of the era, there’s a distinctly Japanese melodic sensibility to the songwriting that sets it apart. It’s the kind of honest, no-frills metal that was the backbone of the scene, full of energy and memorable hooks.
As an independent release on a small private label, this album is a true rarity. Finding a copy is a real treat for any serious collector of Japanese metal. It’s a snapshot of a band pouring their heart and soul into their music, a raw and passionate document from the genre’s incredibly fertile underground.
For those who love to explore the deeper cuts and hidden histories of heavy metal, Excuriver’s “In Hard Time” is a rewarding discovery. It’s a testament to the talent and dedication that thrived in the Japanese indie metal scene. Be sure to look for this rare piece of metal history in our store or on our website.
