Grim

Grim has been played on NTS over 20 times, featured on 21 episodes and was first played on 13 October 2014.

GRIM (aka GRIM) is an obscure, almost schizophrenic, power electronics / noise solo project formed by Jun Konagaya (aka The Howling of Himalaya). Jun’s sound change its mood and athmosphere in seconds. From extreme harsh and hard power electronic noise-walls to ingenious folk songs and tunes as you know it from Charles Manson. In the early 1980s Jun formed White Hospital together with Tomasada Kuwahara. They released one album titled "Holocaust" in 1984 and split. At that time Jun had already released the "Vital" tape as GRIM. Kuwuhara moved on to form Vasilisk (with Yukio Nagoshi) while Jun continued as GRIM releasing: "Vital" (1983, Cass), "Amaterasu" (1985, 7"), "Folk Music" (1986, LP), "Message" (1987, 12"), "Field Work of Em'pire" (1989, Cass / C30), "The Past Is Still in Current Use" (1999, CD comp), "Folk Songs for an Obscure Race" (2009, CD comp'), "5eyes" (2010, Cass), "Vital 1983-89" (2011, 3xLP comp'), "Psycho Sun" (2013, CD) and "Love Song" (2013, LP).
