Vivisick

Vivisick is a Japanese thrashcore band hailing from Tokyo. Formed in 1996 by bassist/vocalist Yuki and guitarist Sunao, Vivisick has received moderate popularity in Japan, though they remain obscure outside of Japan.

History
Vivisick formed when Yuki and Sunao met and began placing "want ads" in record stores and magazines in search of other band members. Despite early difficulties finding permanent members, they have since established a stable lineup. They released their first album, Respect and Hate, in 2008.
