RADIATION SICKNESS / CARDIAC ARREST - Split 7"EP (FAT ASS Records- 7"EP 2015)
Another split 7” vinyl from
FatAss Records... and just as it was in case of Gravehill / Necrofilth, we have
here two bands, which I know by the name, but never had a chance to hear any
albums or demos or whatever. But better late than never, as they say and I must
admit that I am very glad to have this split, as it’s just damn nice release.
Of the two bands, I definitely
enjoyed Cardiac Arrest’s music more as their filthy, sludgy and doomy death
metal is killer! They have one song here, titled “Reduced to Ruin” and I have
no idea if their whole repertoire is in the same vein, but if so, then this
must be one of the heaviest death bands out there in the US! It’s very much in
the vein of Autopsy, but strong, massive, with good songwriting, which may be
damn rough and gloomy, but is somehow also memorable, maybe just because the
riffing and drumming are all pretty simple. Very good song from Cardiac Arrest,
who also presents Mortician’s “Three On a Meathook” cover and that’s so much
faster, but still fitting very well to the previous song that I must say I am
very pleased with their part of this split EP. It’s surely a band I need to
catch up with, they have like four full length albums released, so there’s lot
of shit to grab.
As for Radiation Sickness’
side of the split, it’s good as well! Their music is way faster when compared
to Cardiac Arrest’s, especially the second track “Legions of the Deranged” is
just a blasting, grinding motherfucker, which I like a lot. Both tracks are
filled with brutal, uncompromising and violent death metal. It’s sick and
disgusting piece of music and you know, to name your band after Repulsion
classic track must mean something good, right?!
Final rate: 80/100
