::Biography::

Formed in Yokohama, Japan on 1997, emotive hardcore band, COMMUNITY TRUST is consists of 5 people: Kim (VOCALS), Seiji (GUITAR), Toshihiro (GUITAR), Kay (BASS) and Hiroshi (DRUMS). Having been together for almost 9 years, this dynamic band has appeared on several compilation CD's including "Gods Child Music 2004 Sampler", "Express Our Will 2" (14 All), "Keep His Friends Alive" (Radical East), "New Found Hope VA" (Out Ta Bomb) and "A Bright Side of the Darkness" (Born Records). Their first MCD "Answer of Silence," released on Impak Muzik, demonstrated COMMUNITY TRUST's talented musical abilities. However, they've matured significantly since that release, and have certainly established themselves as one of Japan's most sincere hardcore acts!

They've toured the Philippines last October 2005 and those who were fortunate to see them live were floored by their intense, energetic live performance and technical prowess. Their 3 song demo was sold out before they even finish their set on the third leg of the tour. They've just recently toured Japan with FC Five (Japan), Arkangel (Belgium), and Jesus Project (Belgium).

COMMUNITY TRUST's blend of heavyness, melody and technical prowess flows in the similar veins of Shai Hulud and Naiad but it is very evident that they have their own unique style of song structuring. It is heavy yet melodic. Their intricate dual guitar layering is phenomenal; the bass and drum works is dense and driving; while most hardcore bands nowadays write silly lyrics about love lost and heartache in attempt to market themselves, Community Trust keep it hardcore by writing positive lyrics about not losing hope and the improvement of one's self and it's been delivered with such conviction and sincerity.
