TAKASHI formed in 1982 in New York City, New York with vocalist Danny Stanton, guitar duo Craig Kory and Bob Simonson with rhythm section Tom Cangemi on bass and drummer Chuck Kory. The band would quickly become a familiar name in the local hard rock\/heavy metal circuit. The buzz quickly grew and soon the band was recording their debut that would be released on a small up starting label.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

In 1983 New York\u2019s Mongol Horde Records released a handful of EPs from bands such as THOR and VIRGIN STEELE, and like those bands the label would go down in cult metal history for its contribution to the U.S. metal scene \u2013 and it all started with TAKASHI \u2018Kamikaze Killers\u2019.
The release of \u2018Kamikaze Killers\u2019 would help the band\u2019s name to grow and now internationally as they began to gain more and more press in such publications as Hit Parade and KERRANG. As their popularity increased the band would land supporting slots for acts like TWISTED SISTER and ANTHRAX.<\/p>\n

A couple of more scattered recordings on compilation albums would follow before Takashi would disappear like a spirit wind. Now after 33 years the sun will rise again and shed light on a cult classic with this upcoming re-issue of \u2018Kamikaze Killers\u2019. The release will include; the original EP tracks \u2018Strangler\u2019, \u2018Kamikaze\u2019, \u2018Mad Max\u2019, \u2018Playboy Girls\u2019. Additional tracks include: \u2018Kill or Be Killed\u2019 and \u2018Live to Rock\u2019, among others. All songs re-mastered by Jamie King at The Basement Studios. A eight page booklet including lyrics, essay, and full of flyers and never before seen pictures will only add to this first time ever CD release, Note; the release will be limited to only 500 pressed so don\u2019t miss it.<\/p>\n

New York\u2019s over the top 80s metallic rockers TAKASHI\u2019s classic EP \u2018Kamikaze Killers\u2019 now finally issued or the first time ever on CD. Originally released on the now legendary cult label Mongol Horde Records back in 1983 .<\/p>\n
