WATER TORTURE / THEDOWNGOING SPLIT
Split from 2012, both bands hammer through a stack of short-order blasters with merciless impunity. First Water Torture crush 7 tracks of lead-lined Bass and Drum violence, ushered into a steaming hissing crunch of Noise introduction we are then kicked into the pugilistic dirge of knuckle dragging Power Violence bedlam, obtuse dissonant Bass chords fizz and crackle in amp-destroying/tooth chipping potency, sparse doom mongering arrangements augured with hammer handed drum brutality a manifest flurry of blasts, and desolate punchy bellowing vocal. A thing of brutalist excellence. thedowngoing then further confuse and irritate with a swarm of Noisegrinding bangers that go and go and go, bleeding into one another in a froth of blasting haste. Linked at the sides with short screwturns of Noise hazard, skronking, spikey, plummeting riffs ride blown out blasting drums carving slobbering stomps, thrasher mayhap and fleetfooted blasts, screeching bile wretch vocal trades top off a sound of coalescent terrifying chaos. Crucially short, misunderstood lividity.
