COCK ROACH「鴉葬]: The Heavy, Mysterious Experimentalists of Japan

Whether you enjoy Bjork or Dir En Grey, maybe even Cynic or Two Foot Ninja, this Japanese band may pique your interest.

I can’t find too much clear information about Cock Roach – but my translation skills tells me that the group consists of vocalist Jimpei Endo, guitarists Hirokatsu Ebisawa and Yoshikazu Namikawa, bassist Yuya Honda, and drummer Naoki Honda.

They will be releasing their fifth album (Pioneering Readiness for Death?) in Spring of this year. In the meantime, enjoy the avant-garde track “Chōsō,” which is roughly translated to “Crow Funeral,” and boasts a video directed by Keisuke Miyoshi.
