Today we're interviewing Mitsuru Tabata and he's walking us through every album by Japanese noise metal band Zeni Geva. Formed by KK Null in 1987, Zeni Geva was a metal band like no other, blending sludge, doom, prog, and noise to create a spectacularly brutal sound. And now Tabata is here to give us all the insight into this amazing band.
