WORLD

World is a noisecore band from Osaka Japan started in 1995-96. Only a drummer and 2 vocalists, enough to generate one of the wildest noisecore ever made. All their noise is generated via a special microphone created by Hiroshi Zen. About World's tilte songs, each song has 2 titles because the vocalists both named their songs distinctly. For example, "Burned Away by Yourself" is also called "I Hate this World." What? This duality eventually might have caused World to spin out of control and hemmorage into nothingness. This is about as enigmatic and fascinating a band as one can find. Less than 30 minutes of total recorded output in 3 years, and yet the best in their genre.
This band now R.I.P.
Akira is now performing as a one-man purely noise artist.

Hello,

However WORLD has resumed its activities in 2021.
Four uncles who have never heard of grindcore get together to play grindcore.
But we are a noisecore band because we are noisecore here.
We are honored by anything.

Latest information

• All sound sources + unreleased sound CD released in 2018.
  
• We are also starting to produce a ‘noise psychodelic’ series that is not grindcore.
  

There are five of us.
Important member.

I've never been in a band with strings before.
It is very painful to look for the difference from other bands.
We are active until we die.

Thanks and best regards,
Zen

Kaname Ohara was the original drummer, he left the band after the "Why Who What" 7"

The main concept of this band is the most nihilist and destructive view of life. Their aggressive and minimalistic raw sound express very well what they want to comunicate the post apocalyptic, black views sensation. This band must have been terrifying live. Like at any point someone was going to commit suicide or go on a revolutionary warpath. World's personal, slightly engrish songs (with titles like "February I'll remember" and "I'm in Nightmare") are a weaponized externalization of soul that some extreme bands like to deny the existence of.
