Under their unparalleled presence, "Olympus 16 Toushin," who play their music freely according to their desires, will release their long-awaited second album, Toushin National Anthem, after nearly four years. This album is a "boiled-down, dehydrated, and cultured" concoction of violent mixture sounds, created by distilling worldly desires into a solid mass.

With a completely unrestrained approach to song structure, it spans from death metal to ultra-pop within a single track. The album consists of 11 full tracks, including a brutally arranged cover of the classic song Ano Subarashii Ai wo Mou Ichido.

Additionally, it features three newly written bonus tracks (speeches). There are no rests-none. The sheer vocal power of 11 voices pushes the track count to its absolute limit. For the first time in Japan, slap bass on an 8-string guitar collides with frenzied taiko drumming, while the conch shell horn roars with vibrato.

This album embodies the outcry of the times, packed with a dense and unique sound that only Olympus 16 Toushin, with their raw confrontation of worldly society, could create.

Artist Profile

  • Olympos16

    A real all-offence-no-defense, no-nonsense group of angry and hungry hooligans, consisting of 11 members including doctor, university professor, cartoonist, and entrepreneurial CEO. Unlike conventional bands with fixed and always-on-standby members, Olympos 16 optimize "the major and minor system" whereby whoever is most suitable (and available) for gig occasions takes the leading performing role, enabling the infinite sustainability and longevity for the band. Characterized by such distinctive features as bizarre-but-curiously-unison chorus created by mandatory backing-singing forced to all performing members (and audiences); aggressive, brutal, pounding beat; shameless, audacious, and often offensive and politically-incorrect lyrics and MCs; stage performance resembling unleashed hungry beasts; shredding and grinding guitar solo; cover songs undergone the process of dismembering, disfiguring, and deforming... And above all, the band is most notorious for its compulsory post-live drinking carnage which all audience members are forced to participate. All members of Olympos 16 are mostly "performers" and bluntly admitting of seeking no musical influences from others, thus allowing them to be one-and-only. Aside from live performance averaging 30 annually, each of which generating about 140 audiences, the band makes eager appearances in movie, TV, radio, and magazines.
