Riding Through the Underground: Christ’s ‘Easy To Ride’ (CPLG-1002)
Today’s entry delves into the Japanese independent metal scene of the late 80s, focusing on the release “Easy To Ride” by the band Christ, issued on the renowned Captain Records label with the catalog number CPLG-1002.
Released in 1987, this 12-inch vinyl, likely a mini-album or EP, served as the debut for Christ. Captain Records was a pivotal label for the Japanese underground, releasing a diverse range of punk, hardcore, and metal acts, making this release a significant part of that history.
“Easy To Ride” captures the raw energy typical of the independent J-Metal scene during that period. Listeners can expect a potent dose of heavy metal, potentially blending speed metal influences with traditional metal riffing and powerful vocals. As a debut on an indie label known for its raw edge, the sound is likely direct, energetic, and less polished than major label releases, reflecting the band’s untamed spirit.
CPLG-1002 is a sought-after item for collectors of Japanese underground metal and enthusiasts of the Captain Records catalog. It documents the arrival of Christ onto the scene and preserves the powerful, raw sound characteristic of the vibrant late 80s independent metal landscape.
