Strangulation

Strangulation is a brutal death metal band from Yokohama, Japan, formed in 2016. The group explores themes of trauma, murder, abuse, and mental illness. The current lineup consists of Tomonori Inahara on guitars and vocals, Temma Takahata on drums, and Kani Saibo on bass. The band's discography includes the 2019 EP Violence in Degraded Mindset and the 2020 full-length album Display of Escalated Perversion, both released through New Standard Elite.
