Two extreme Japanese bands are gathered on this new split album from Obliteration Records. Both bands are extreme in their own way. The first one are EVIL which is a Black / Thrash horde from Tokyo. These four evil warriors are able to capture perfectly the ancient feeling of the first wave of Black / Thrash Metal in the early / mid 80s when bands like VENOM, SODOM, SABBAT (JP), BATHORY or SARCOFAGO ruled supreme. The second band on this little silver disc is LURKING FEAR. Musically they have nothing in common with EVIL as this Nippon trio delivers a kind of brutal down tuned Death / Grind stuff. They also throw seven tracks into the battle incl. a cover version of 'Helga (Lost Her Head)' by the legendary REPULSION. The sound of their tunes is heavier and more brutal - that's the shit what you expect from a band in this genre. Like usual the vokills are puked out in a gory way with some insane shrieks. The guitar sound is fat, shreds and will shave your head. AMAZING SPLIT!!!
