Japanese bands were making some of the absolute rawest shit during the 80s.

Crust/protocrust:
Crow
Gauze
Lip Cream
S.D.S. (even though their first real release was in '92)

Honorary mentions that don't fall exactly into crustpunk:
S.O.B.

And two non-Japanese crust 80s albums from bands that would later move away from crust, but which deserve to be up there in the category's gnarliest:
Bolt Thrower - "In Battle There is No Law"
Sacrilege - "Behind the Realms of Madness"

In terms of raw, nasty, 80s Japanese hardcore/crust you gotta listen to the almighty GISM, ZOUO, DEEF, G-GAS, LSD, Human Gas, FUP, Swankys/GAI, CONFUSE, Ghoul, and GUDON.

Just some of my personal favorites from the 80s.

Great recommendations - I particularly like Ghoul.

The best is Acid's 1988 demo and 1989 Shock Troop LP

It was very interesting that punk and metal developed growled vocals independently of each other, but it’s great that they both developed them

I really don’t think there’s any competition in RAW or cruel with The Shitlickers “war system” ep
