Additional notes
S.O.B (sometimes also known as SxOxB, which is an acronym for Sabotage Organised Barbarian, sometimes also known as Sounds/Symphonies of Brutality) formed in 1983 in Osaka, Japan.
S.O.B's original vocalist Tottsuan died of a grotesque suicide in 1995 for reasons unknown. Because of this, S.O.B went on a depressive hiatus until 1998 when they drafted their musical friend Kevin Sharp (best known as the vocalist of Brutal Truth) as a temporary stand-in before Naoto (from avant-garde punkers Rise from the Dead) made the role permanent.
Currently, S.O.B plays local shows. They've been said to have joined the mainstream crowd in Japan, playing "trendy" hardcore at big clothing conventions and so on very much in the vein of mainstream hardcore punk acts like Amen.
