The Stalin

Hardcore punk
Hardcore punk

The Stalin is a Hardcore punk act. Their sound grew out of Dezerter and BLANKEY JET CITY. Those roots explain a lot about how The Stalin arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as The Mad Capsule Markets, Reagan Youth, GG Allin, Otoboke Beaver and Circle Jerks, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into The Mad Capsule Markets, Dezerter, Merry, DIR EN GREY and BUCK-TICK, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 13 connections around The Stalin, reaching back through Dezerter and forward to The Mad Capsule Markets.

In May 1987 Michiro formed a group called Video Stalin, which mostly made videos instead of albums; they disbanded in 1988. In 1989 Michiro created a new band named Stalin and continued to make music with them until 1993.
