Here we have this split CD from this two ultra raw black metal bands. First we have the five Lugubre tracks which are ultra raw and hyper fast with a lot of black metal screams and raw guitars. This band plays really fast tracks with certain similarities to the first Mayhem. Hermit vocals are extremely painful and fit the music. The mix is not really good and I think that this guys with a better mix can make their music more effective (specially the drums). Then comes Misanthropy which is a one man band (Ed is the only composer and player here). Misanthropy has the characteristic of using a drum machine in their tracks along with an ultraraw guitar. Ed´s screams and vocals are really black and send chills down your spine. Again the mix can be better, specially here on the guitars (when he does some melody you barely can notice it) This is a really underground release and here we have two bands to don´t miss a step in their evolution.

Favorite tracks: "Pure Annihilation of Unworthy Existences", "All Humanity Must End" and "Only Hatred Remains"
