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.

This is WORLD. line up:

Left, (Hiroshi Zen) doing noise and vocals.
Center, (Tadahiko Aono) playing Drums.
Right, (Akira Kawabata) on Vocals.

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.
