Vivisick

Vivisick is a ferocious hardcore punk band from Tokyo, Japan, known for their high-energy sound and manic performances. Formed in the mid-1990s, Vivisick draws heavy inspiration from the fast, thrashy hardcore scenes of the ’80s, blending classic Japanese hardcore intensity with a playful, almost chaotic spirit. Over the years, they’ve built a strong reputation both in Japan and internationally, often praised for their explosive live shows and tight, breakneck-speed recordings.

Their music is packed with short, aggressive bursts of punk fury, laced with catchy riffs and shout-along choruses. Releases like Nuked Identity and Respect And Hate have solidified Vivisick's standing as torchbearers of the high-speed hardcore tradition. Despite lineup changes over time, they have stayed true to their roots, maintaining the DIY ethos and energetic sound that first won them a loyal following. Whether tearing it up in small clubs or punk festivals around the world, Vivisick keeps the hardcore spirit alive and moshing.
