This is a review of a self released split ep between Italy's Hungry Like Rakovitz and O which was released in 2011 and we will start of the review with Hungry Like Rakovitz a band that mixes primitive black metal, crust, grind and sludge together.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a great amount of brutal sounding blast beats being thrown into the music, while the bass playing has a very strong and powerful sound with heavy riffing that dominates throughout their side of the recording.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine primitive black metal with crust, grind, sludge and hardcore and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals range from high pitched black metal/grindcore screams to crustcore style shouts and growls, while the lyrics cover evil and violent themes, as for the production it has a very heavy, raw and primitive sound to it while you can still hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their side of the recording.
In my opinion Hungry Like Rakovitz are a very great sounding hybrid of black metal, crust, grind, sludge and hardcore and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Nice To Kill You". RECOMMENDED.
Next up is O a band that mixes raw and primitive black metal with crust, grind and hardcore.
Drums range from slow, mid paced to fast drumming with a good amount of brutal sounding blast beats being thrown into the music at times, while the bass playing has a very dark tone with riffs that follow the riffing that is coming out of the guitars and at times they have a very powerful sound to them.
Rhythm guitars range from slow, mid paced to fast riffs that combine black metal with crust, grind, and hardcore and there are no guitar solos or leads present on their side of the recording.
Vocals range from high pitched black metal screams to hardcore style yelling, while the lyrics are written in Italian and cover dark themes, as for the production it has a very dark, heavy, raw and primitive sound while you can still hear all of the musical instruments that are present on their side of the recording.
In my opinion O are a very great sounding hybrid of black metal, crust, grind and hardcore with the best music on this split and if you are a fan of this musical genre, you should check out this band. RECOMMENDED TRACK "Inestinto". RECOMMENDED.
In conclusion I feel this is a very great split and I would recommend to all fans of crusty black metal. RECOMMENDED BUY.
