VASTUM / SPECTRAL VOICE - Split EP (DARK DESCENT Records Split 7"EP 2018)
Split seven-inch vinyl with two such fantastic bands like Vastum and Spectral Voice is just a must to have in collection. You should not hesitate even for a second, but get a copy before this vinyl is sold out! Dark Descent released this small piece of wax and I love how they did it, especially the layout, which resembles all these old, classic death metal seven inches from early 90's. It really looks "old"! What a nice idea.
And musically, this release is exactly what you will expect to hear from these two bands. Old school, obscure, grim and fuckin heavy death metal, which will crush your every piece of flesh and turn it into bloody, disgusting pulp. It's gonna squeeze all liquids out of your body, like you squeeze your lemon and slowly tear all limbs. Fuckin sonic death metal torture! I actually like Vastum's "Gagging on a Gash" a bit more over Spectral Voice's "Katabatic Depths", as their riffs are more memorable, more crushing and deadly. I also like vocals in Vastum more. Anyway, "Gagging on a Gash" is relatively slow to mid paced death metal monster, yet it sounds very powerful and massive, with good feeling and proper horrid atmosphere. "Gagging on a Gash" is much more savage, vicious and faster, but the atmosphere in this song is super awesome as well, so damn bestial and horroresque. I've heard better songs from these two bands, if I can be honest. Which doesn’t mean they sound boring here! Both are solid tracks and it’s always a damn pleasure to listen to these two bands.
Verdict: 75/100
