In April 2011, Naggy (guitar), Masaki (vocals), Yosuke (bass), and Utsu-Ken (drums) from Satocho released the EP "Metal Punk Massacre". After previously publishing two demos, a split, some singles, and a compilation, this can be regarded as Parasite's proper debut release. Ten years later, Parasite are still active. In the meantime, they have released another EP, a live album, several splits, and one full-length album called "Zankyo 残響". Nevertheless, the EP "Metal Punk Massacre" is widely regarded to be a legendary release, and hence for its tenth anniversary, it receives a re-issue via Peruvian label Inti Records.
Side note, in the year 2020, Beijing-based label Thrashing Cult Records has also published a re-issue of the EP.

Titled "Metal Punk Massacre", Parasite's six-track EP raises certain expectations on its sonic landscape. And if you expect chaos, violence, and brachiality to pump out of the speakers, you will certainly not be disappointed. Parasite's "Metal Punk Massacre" is... well, a real Metal Punk Massacre.
Crust, Stench, some Heavy Metal soli, and the savage power of D-Beat rage over the tape reel like squadrons of Harakiri bombers. For 24 minutes, Parasite provide us with the sounds of nihilism, destruction, and human-made doom. Fans of Warcollapse, G.I.S.M, or Amebix should not hesitate getting a copy of this morbid beauty.
