NEW DVD
Beast Arts
The main feature captures G.I.S.M.’s guest appearance at Psychic TV’s Japan concert “Final Wars,” held on January 16, 1986.
During the performance, SAKEVI Yokoyama ignited a gas burner and entered the audience. The organizers stopped the sound due to safety concerns, leading to a confrontation involving the band and a weekly magazine reporter documenting the incident. The entire sequence is presented completely uncut.
Originally included in G.I.S.M.’s second video release, “BOOTLEG 1986,” the footage is being released on DVD for the first time nearly four decades later. Filmed using a single Sony Betamovie camera, it documents the performance and everything that unfolded around it without editorial intervention.
The package also includes a bonus disc featuring “Apocalypse 666,” recorded at Shinjuku Antiknock in 1992. The footage covers the event from audience entry through the complete live performance and includes rare footage of G.I.S.M.’s soundcheck.
Directed by Junji Yasuda.
