The latest endtime missive from the Holy Terror office presents these two legendary blackened hardcore outfits appearing together on a split platter for the first time ever, amazingly enough.

Gehenna's side give sus two new songs: "A Parallel Hell", another one of their vicious blackened powerviolence assaults, comes screaming in on a storm of black nuclear ash and volcanic hatred, a primal paranoid scream from the depths of psychosis launched at skull-wrecking speed like some irradiated fusion of second wave Norwegian black metal and Infest's barbaric hardcore; the other, "Amphetamine Psychosis", is as fine an ode to meth as I've ever heard, a celebration of the crystal vomited out in a torrent of doom-laden black dirge and wailing metal solos, bestial thrash and slit-throat screams. Top fucking notch.

Metallic hardcore legends Integrity are back with another new jam in the wake of their recent explosion of activity, both recorded and live, and "I Know Where Everyone Lives" delivers the murderous good. While Dwid howls out lyrics that read like poetic margin notes from the script for Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer, the band lurches into one of the best goddamn songs that this band has recorded in the past five years. Going from a positively anthemic rtocking hook to the ferocious violence of the thrashier chorus, this song finds its way into a pulverizing breakdown that is as ridiculously catchy as anything this band did on their classic Systems Overload and Humanity Is The Devil records.
