Fushitsusha (1991 album)

Fushitsusha (1991 album) is the eponymous fifth studio album by the Japanese noise rock band Fushitsusha, led by guitarist and vocalist Keiji Haino. Released in 1991, it continues the band's signature sound of intense, improvisational noise rock, blending elements of free improvisation, avant-garde, and heavy psychedelic rock.

The album is characterized by Haino's distinctive, often distorted vocals, his dense and chaotic guitar playing, and the band's powerful and unpredictable rhythm section. Like many of Fushitsusha's releases, it features extended instrumental passages, building and collapsing waves of sound that can range from delicate and introspective to overwhelmingly loud and aggressive. The songs typically lack conventional song structures, prioritizing atmosphere and emotional expression over traditional melodic or harmonic progression.

While specific track titles and recording details are often scarce for Fushitsusha albums, the album’s general musical approach aligns with other works from the same period. It is considered a significant entry in Fushitsusha's discography and an example of the band's commitment to uncompromising and challenging sonic exploration. This album exemplifies the band’s consistent and unique approach to noise rock and free improvisation.
