Brand new split LP for 2010 from these 2 bands. Japan's Coffins deliver more of their great crushing death/doom metal (contrary to the belief of some, this is not "stoner/Sabbath worship" featuring "bluesy riffage"). It's simplistic, it's raw, and it is hellish brutal. They cover Cathedral on here which is like a dead giveaway. On the flipside is XXX Maniak with 20 punches of offensive Sado-Grind dementia.. unlike some of their previous releases here you'll hear plenty of blasts, but there are also D-Beats, slow breakdown drumming, and so on. As a result, the guitar riffs are more clear and impressive, and the songs play more like songs and less like blasts of chaos and rape. Both sides rip!
