Line-up: Chu Ishikawa - metal percussion/program, Joe Yabuki - metal percussion/bass, Kouhei Chiba - metal percussion/drums, Shinichi Kawahara - metal percussion, Shinichi Seki - metal percussion/guitar/vocal.

His work was hailed worldwide for its Armageddon-esque feel. He was of course selected to work on the sequel, "Tetsuo II/Body Hammer", where Chu pursued the expressions of metal acoustics with his self made instruments. (The soundtracks are compiled in the CD "Tetsuo/Music by Chu Ishikawa", released October 1992.) For Tsukamoto's new film, "Tokyo Fist", he was asked to compose without his precious metals, but nonetheless came through with a brilliant soundtrack. Chu's creative energy is funneled into his newest band, Der Eisenrost, a punk/alternative/industrial metal percussion quartet. Much is in store, as he is currently involved in numerous musical ventures, writing for films, plays, games, and even fashion shows. So, Der Eisenrost was formed in April 1993. And since then, they have been appealing their metal-percussion
