Exploding with destructive force alongside the
ecstatic birth of visual kei, Psychedelic
Violence Crime of Visual Shock quickly became a slogan associated with the
extravagant and wild aesthetic of pioneers X Japan (named X until ’93). Their
frenzied speed metal antics and legendary live performances would radically
alter the Japanese independent music scene for decades to come. Hurtling out of
nowhere like the band’s debut album Vanishing
Vision, artist Ujicha’s grappling Geki-mation took the festival circuit by
storm with his brutal and bizarre The
Burning Buddha Man in 2013. Brandishing his paper cut-out trademark once again,
and erupting in grizzly and mind-bending fashion, Uchija’s triumphant
long-awaited return is heralded with the eye-popping Violence Voyager; the reins on his inventive style are off and
reduced to rubble, committing all new crimes of visual shock.
