The Dojo Vol.36 | Napalm Death & Merzbow Japan Ticket

Overview

Extreme The Dojo Vol.36 marks the return of Japan’s most legendary heavy-music event series, bringing a “Grind-Noise Battle” to the stage in 2026. Headlining the event is the originator of grindcore, NAPALM DEATH, returning to the Dojo for the first time since their 2020 release. They are joined by the world-renowned Japanese noise pioneer Merzbow (Masami Akita), who accepted the challenge at the band’s direct request for a sonic confrontation that promises to be historic.

Adding a unique global dimension to the lineup is GROWL OF CLOWN, a deathcore powerhouse from Mongolia. Known for incorporating traditional “Khoomei” (throat singing) into their brutal sound, they recently gained massive acclaim with their 2024 album. This volume of Extreme The Dojo is not just a concert; it is a collision of experimental noise, extreme metal, and cultural intensity that will vibrate the very foundations of the Club Quattro venues in Tokyo and Osaka.
