We are playing Koiwa Extreme Vol.10, a show that spotlights are still how Tokyo’s underground stays alive. December 6 marks the tenth iteration of the series.

This night is being put on by Necrophile, and that matters. Night of the Gloomy Narcists is not a random title slapped on a flyer. Seventeen editions in, it’s a series with its own weight and internal logic.

Blood Rite returns to Earthdom with a bill that reflects how extreme metal actually functions in Tokyo. This is not a themed event or a genre showcase built for novelty.
