Two violent California thrash acts team up to shank you with their feral low-fi metallic filth on this slammin' 7". We've said it before, and we'll say it again - everything that Gehenna has put out is crucial, and it's impossible for us not to gush over what has long been one of our favorite bands going back to the mid 90s. So the presence of a new Gehenna track on this Ep is reason enough for us to fall all over it. The fact that California Love turns out to be just as murderous and evil just makes this record that much more essential for fans of hateful apocalyptic thrash.

Cali terrorizers Gehenna drop an awesome three minute blast of hell-bent thrash called "Get Fucked Up", an ode to murder, narcotic abuse, and physical violence, all tenets of modern living that we fully endorse. Like everything else from Gehenna, this has an unmistakable Hellhammer vibe, all blasting drums and mangy violent riffage and Mike Cheese's horrific blackened snarl that is absolutely unmatchable. A fucking spectacular, if short piece of violent pain-worshipping thrash.

California Love drop an even shorter blast of murky evil metal, a total Slayer-meets-power violence vibe mixed with some drunken So Cal crustiness. Sounds like something I might have caught at the PCH Club back in '96. It starts off sludgy and lurching, but then blasts into some chaotic thrash with insane soloing and hoarse bestial vokills and maniacal drums that are so fast and disordered that it sounds like they've been hurled down a stairwell. Pretty fucking wicked.
