Among hardcores with various subcategories, there are many bands that inherit the style of NY hardcore, whose origins are news cool hardcore that originates in CHOKEHOLD, UNBROKEN, EARTH CRISIS, etc., and AGNOSTIC FRONT, BREAKDOWN, etc. Starting with the 2000 FALL SILENT's first visit to Japan, he started inviting foreign bands, and he has been with such occasions as ALPHA AND OMEGA, BACKTRACK, BLACK BREATH, INCENDIARY, NASTY, RISE OF THE NORTH STAR, TRAPPED UNDER ICE, XIBALBA From the band “I want to see now” to the legend including ALL OUT WAR, ANOTHER VICTIM, CULTURE, MORNING AGAIN, PRIMAL AGE, REPRISAL, SHAI HULUD, etc. All of us have come to Japan. One of the great features is that we have come to Japan with big names such as TURNSTILE, HEAVEN SHALL BURN, DESPISED ICON, THE ACACIA STRAIN, MAROON, EMMURE, STATE CHAMPS, and AFTER THE BURIAL without relying on leading eventers.
In order to make the distance between the audience and the band close, the fence is removed, and on the contrary, the stage is made by laying the platform. You can take the microphone and become yourself as a kid so it's easy for kids to sing and stage dives. An event that can convey the fun of such a hardcore, creating a sense of unity throughout such a venue. That is BLOODAXE FESTIVAL.
