S.O.B. (abbreviated from Sabotage Organized Barbarian) is a Japanese punk rock band formed in Osaka in 1983.[1] Their original vocalist Yoshitomo "Tottsuan" Suzuki committed suicide in 1995. They are also considered hugely influential on grindcore bands such as Napalm Death[3][4][5] and the genre of death metal[6] as well as one of the mainstays of the thrashcore genre.[7][1][8][9] The band have sometimes been described as grindcore, themselves.[10][11]
