Kah-Roe-Shi – 'Shi' CD

Obviously the format is taken from the footsteps of HHIG and the
likes. Really inspiring and passionate from start to finish. One of the current most 'talked-about' bands to come out here in Southeast Asia and this unit did not disappoint. A follow up on their split with Pazahora and includes a total of 7 tracks with a 13 minute live video footage. I just learned that they came out around 2006 on a different name that is Union Of Slaves however changing this into their current which literally means "death from overwork" in Japanese. Somehow the name says it all, their stand, politics and what they're meant to be as a group. Lyrics are political in nature focusing on of course wage slavery, racism, awareness, freedom of the press and shit – you know the drill. What I really like about it is that it has sort of explanation / article on each song or lyrics which throws details for the listener to comprehend much easily and effective. The packaging is unique in a way in which the disc and the booklet are packed in a cloth showing the band's logo. Reminds me on the way screamo bands do
their stuff in the '90s. Though the lyrics are somewhat serious in its way of screaming out its message, you can still somehow sit back and enjoy its furious attack and intense music all throughout. Malaysia, represent. - Dane
