Reviews
First thing's first. This release is on a piece of blue transparent vinyl that is five inches in diameter – that's the size of a CD. That is cool.
Secondly, it fucken rocks. German band Kinetic Crash Co-Operation's song has a scary atmospheric intro, followed by a brief but pleasurable slab of dirty old-skool hardcore. All in glorious lo-fi, of course. This filters out into wild staccato drumming and a drilling guitar squeal, and screamed lyrics about bloody assholes. Fun.
Trencher manage to cram two songs onto their side of the split. They are, as always, poetry in motion. The funny haunted house Casio riffs make themselves known, followed by hellish screams and bludgeoning grindcore. Then some nice cartoony bleeps and bloops, before that track is over. The next is largely similar, except with a great pure-static bass guitar somewhere in the mix as well. Both songs last mere seconds, and that's what keeps them bearable. Nice!
