ASUNDER / LIKE FLIES ON FLESH  split  CD   (Life Is Abuse)   12.98
split IS CURRENTLY UNAVAILABLE FOR ORDER

Another crushing one from the Life Is Abuse vaults, this time pairing up Texan punk/black/death crusties LIKE FLIES ON FLESH with ultra heavy SF

death-doomsters ASUNDER, whose A Clarion Call album from last year fuggin' flattened us, serving up thick chunks of epic thunderous

sludgery from DYSTOPIA personnel channeling thee heaviest strains of early Peaceville style doom filtered through pure Bay Area stench. ASUNDER is

up first on this CD version of the original split LP, with two lengthy tracks of gargantuan Godzilla sized riffs crawling through sluggish death metal-on-12

rpm monstrosity, heavy and leaden like old MY DYING BRIDE and CATHEDRAL but light on the gothic trappings. LIKE FLIES ON FLESH follow, featuring a member of

epic metal weirdos HAMMERS OF MISFORTUNE, and rip thru 5 ferocious jams of fast paced, hardcore-infected black metal blasted with crazed Swedish death, think

AT THE GATES with crooning female vocals appearing in the less-nuclear passages, raw and feral shit, jammed with chainsaw guitars suddenly breaking off into

twin axe harmonies worthy of MAIDEN's Killers, fronted with total mental vocals. Total crush.
