Plazma-X

Japanese punk and heavy metal band from Hiroshima. Originally started as a hardcore/punk band in 1985. The original lineup featured their first singer Vancollan (Chicken Bowels) and the guitarist Motsu (Chicken Bowels, Gudon, Outo, Half Years, Rise From The Dead). They went on to form Chicken Bowels after leaving Plazma-X. Their drummer, Nobu is ex-自我 (Jiga (2)). The band's musical style shifted to speed metal (w/ punk influences) ~ heavy metal in their later years, released at least two demos in 1986 and 1987, and the now (super) hard-to-find 7" flexi "Masquerade" on the band's own label in 1988. Only a couple of hundred copies of them were made and sold locally. The band was active until 1990, but apparently played a reunion show in 2014, then another one in 2017.
