🎧 NEW REVIEW We have reviewed ZEROSHIKI’s new album, 'Banbutsu-Ruten', in conjunction with our recent interview: "The album proves the old adage correct: good things do come to those who wait". avo-magazine.com/en/2026/09/m... #AVOMagazine #ZEROSHIKI #JapaneseRock ✍🏻 Peter Dennis

Music Review: ZEROSHIKI – Banbutsu-Ruten (Album)

Formed way back in 1998 (under a different moniker), ZEROSHIKI are a band who defy easy categorisation. Hard rock, metal, J-rock and alternative rock are all tags that have been thrown at this Tokyo…

💬NEW INTERVIEW AVO Magazine had an exclusive interview with Mugi of ZEROSHIKI, discussing the band's latest album 'Banbutsu-Ruten' and their first live show in over two years. avo-magazine.com/en/2026/09/z... #AVOMagazine #ZEROSHIKI #JapaneseRock #Interview✍🏻 @seraphinne.bsky.social

Photo of the three band members of the alternative heavy rock band ZEROSHIKI. They are all sitting down on a live stage, surrounded by instruments and amplifiers. They are sitting in a circle, as if they have a band meeting and have food and drinks (sushi, sake, Pocky, takoyaki) in front of them, but one of the members also has a laptop in front of him. All are looking at the camera with a smile, two of them are holding their arms halfway up, making it seem that the photo was taken during a joyful moment.
