# G.I.S.M.

**G.I.S.M.** is a speed metal band, from Japan, active 1980 to 2002.

G.I.S.M.  was a Japanese punk metal band formed in Tokyo in 1981. Although the guitar style resembled heavy metal in many aspects, G.I.S.M. was one of the first Japanese hardcore bands, while at the same time drawing influence from the early industrial/avant-garde music scene—something uncommon in punk bands at that time.
