Classic Compilations: A Farewell To Arms
Originally issued by Selfish Records in 1986 and rereleased the following year on Nuclear Blast Records, A Farewell to Arms attempts to document a nation wide musical movement. In the West, most of these Japanese bands that contributed work to this compilation aren’t the biggest names in hardcore. That doesn’t mean that each group represented here has ceased to carry a huge cache around. No, this disc isn’t going to change your mind about the genre, but it lends some insight into how hardcore spread across the globe and has been funneled back into the States.
