Alrighty I was wondering is there any groups in Japan that sing Horrorcore. IF you don't know what horrorcore is its like ICP,Twiztid,Blaze Ya Dead Homie,AMB, ETC just checking if anyone familiar with them and if there is a group or groups in Japan that does horrorcore? Thanks
 
Umm, I am not sure of these bands, what ways is it different from grindcore? (I know a bit of grindcore stuff but I'm bad at genres)

Horrorcore (also known as death rap, murder rap, acid rap and wicked ****) is a subgenre of hip hop music.The term "horrorcore" was coined by Russell Simmons,who referred to horrorcore as being "hardcore rap with some horror movie themes". Horrorcore artists often have ties with rock music, specifically heavy metal and hardcore punk.
Horrorcore lyrics contain many different subjects. There are usually two "branches" of horrorcore lyrics, the serious branch, and the humorous branch. The serious branch deals with issues in life including crime, murder and poverty, among other things. The humorous lyrics can be about any topic, but mostly murder, psychopathics, sexism and so on, but with a humorous approach.
Many horrorcore performers wear makeup, a fashion popularized by Psychopathic Records and the Insane Clown Posse. Some follow in the steps of the aforementioned group by using clown-themed paint, while others try to create their own style, often being a mix of clown makeup and black metal corpse paint.
Though some horrorcore rappers become widely known (e.g. Insane Clown Posse), most horrorcore record labels, acts, and artists rarely sell over a few hundred records (with the exception of Psychopathic Records). It has a lot to do with the fact that many people may be appalled by the lyrics, and that the topics being rapped about are still taboo (e.g murder, necrophilia).

Oh, so it's hiphop. I don't know of any "horrorcore" Jpn artists, but I know of a few Japanese ROCK groups, who follow a horrormovie-esque theme, but that's not what you're looking I assume.
 
Hehe, wow, you learn something new everyday

Oh, and sorry, I don't think I know of any Japanese Horrorcore bands...sorry :sorry:
 
horrorcore
the bands you named have nuttin in common with the people that founded the genre.

kids stuff

check out gravediggaz (the RZA, frukwan, prince paul) or jedi mind tricks if you want something more authentic.
 
I know about gravediggaz But for some reason I prefer the Psychopathic stuff don't ask me why hehe I'm a juggalo. SunSweet I also love Metal/Rock I listen to Hardcore/Black/Death/Gore/Grindcore everything as long as it gets me pumped up. If you could give me some of the names of them it would help =) Thx
 
Well ... I'm not exactly sure if these bands will get you "pumped-up", there are much "harder" bands, I was just thinking of the horror-movie theme that they keep with.

I was thinking of The Candy Spooky Theater and The Pumpkin Head, specifically.
 
That first picture was a bit too disgusting...
 
Damn, I should have got back here sooner!
I see where you're coming from now but although I like metal and some punk and some grindcore, I am not really into rap or hiphop so I never ran across any horrorcore bands. ><
