Released on, what I believe is their very own, Punk Bastard Records, "Violence, Peace and Peace Research" is the 2nd album of this great Tokyo based band. Though at times overlooked, LIFE, has been going strong since the very early 90s, unleashing slabs of utterly devastating distorted hardcore crust punk at regular intervals. Though the noise punk revival/hype/fad can at times be a mixed blessing, it does mean that lifers like these are more on the radar of the wider scene, getting the recognition and attention they most definitely reserve. More tracks than most punks write in a life time, the pro-peace/environment message they have become to be known for and a tribute to a fallen comrade in arms by way of a cover of Disclose's "conquest", make this a mandatory beast of an album in my book.
